Over the course of the last year, Sevyn Streeter has emerged as one of R&B’s most exciting prospects.

A singer and a stage blazer, the 28-year-old is also notable for her resume as a songwriter.

One of the many hits to have been penned by the songbird include Ariana Grande‘s breakout smash ‘The Way’.

As such, it was fitting that during a visit to Grammy HQ to discuss her debut album (which follows last year’s ‘Call Me Crazy, But…’ EP) she also performed the cut – which served as Grande’s debut effort.

For three years, ‘Revenge’ has relayed the narrative of Emily Thorne and her quest for retribution.

However, it increasingly seems the producers of the ABC hit are veering into a new direction for the show’s upcoming fourth season.

Could the show be heading in  new direction? One that sees Victoria actioning revenge on her nemesis? Tune in on September 28th at 10pm when ‘Revenge’ returns!

Columbus Short is obviously out to prove that his skills as a gladiator are not just limited to the small screen.  For, as the week has shown, he and former ‘Stomp the Yard’ co-star Darrin Henson have turned Twitter into a sparring ground.
