Tamar Braxton has delivered vulnerable vocals in her latest music video for her new single, “Notice Me,” where she warns past lovers that they’ll one day regret treating her as if she’s invisible. In the simplistic visual, Braxton sports bedroom hair and a glamorous beat, while donning only a white t-shirt and Hanes underwear, accessorized with Van Cleef & Arpels jewelry.
She belts, “I give you love when you don’t deserve it/ Put up with your sh*t when yo’ a** can’t focus/ When you lookin’ cray like I’m speaking foreign/ And the audacity of you not to notice me,” before warning, “One day you’ll notice me/ A girl that loves you, do anything for you/ One day you’ll notice me.”
The relatable love tune follows her 2023 single “Changed,” which peaked at No. 17 on the R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay chart and No. 2 on the Adult R&B Airplay chart. She also released the holiday single “You Bring The Love” in the same year.
“Notice Me” — which was written by Braxton, Nyerere Davidson, Amber Smith, and Donald Sales — released on Friday (Mar. 15), just two days shy of her birthday. The track also ironically follows news of Braxton and her ex-fiancée, Jermey “J.R.” Robinson, rekindling their love last year.
The couple met on Peacock’s dating show, Queen’s Court, and broke up a year later when Robinson announced the split on Instagram. Following their break up, the Atlanta-based lawyer was spotted court-side with reality star Tommie Lee. Spitefully, Lee plastered her outing with Robinson all over her social media to shade Braxton. However, Robinson and Braxton were seen at an NFL game shortly after.
“That’s why I had to go get my man back, y’all,” she said to fans during a show. “I know y’all lying if y’all thought I was gon’ let my man go because he took some crackhead to a basketball game while we was broke up? No ma’am. That was not my man. He don’t owe me no loyalty. I could have went out with his homeboy. It’s all fair game when you broke up… That’s a good man, Savannah.”
Robinson also took to Instagram to open up about getting the love of his life back.
“At times, I was angry, I was mad with her and so while I was single, I took advantage of people who were ultimately trying to take advantage of me with a singular goal in mind,” he wrote at the time. “Hurt people, hurt people. And for that, I take accountability for wanting her to feel some of my pain.”
He continued, “I’m grateful that God saw fit to protect what was truly made for me and that we were able to find our way back to love. I am incredibly touched by how much she fought for me! I’m committed to loving this woman forever and I appreciate all the love and support that have come from our family, friends and supporters!”

A paid for ad feature for viagogo
A new initiative created to help boost fan confidence for those who are going to gigs alone has been launched ahead of Taylor Swift ‘Eras’ tour.
Created by viagogo, their first ‘Solo Socials’ event ahead of Swift’s Eras Tour shows in London – and her series of UK shows throughout June and August with support from Paramore, is designed to both boost confidence and bring like-minded fans together in an effort to help them gain confidence in attending a gig on their own and make memories before the tour. Neither Swift nor her team are involved with the venture.
The free Viagogo ‘Solo Socials’ event aimed at Swift fans will be hosted by drag queens Margo Marshall and Vicki Vivacious (from Ru Paul’s Drag Race UK) and will conduct a series of games, quizzes, and performances throughout the night.
Fans will be treated to a complimentary cocktail, friendship-bracelets and food, alongside a line-up of music, entertainment and comedy.
The event will take place on Wednesday, May 22 at Mrs Riot in Covent Garden, central London. Click here to book free tickets to the event. A limited amount of tickets will also be available to walk-ins on the night.
Viagogo’s ‘Solo Socials’ events were created after the data from a survey of 2,000 gig-going Brits commissioned by the ticketing company revealed that fans would rather miss out on attending major concerts than go on their own due to the anxiety of attending alone.
As per a press release, the data revealed that 24 per cent of fans said they lacked confidence in their own company with another 24 percent adding they wouldn’t feel safe. Twenty-two per cent of fans said that they felt ‘far too anxious’ to attend solo.
One in five (17 per cent) confessed to feeling uneasy about travelling alone to a show, while a further one in seven (13 per cent) said they’d feel ‘judged’ by others for enjoying an act by themselves.
Candy Fortescue, Head of Supply And International Ticketing for viagogo said: “From travelling solo, dining solo to dancing solo – the solo revolution is officially here. We’re witnessing a global trend where music fans are increasingly drawn to experiencing concerts by themselves, so they never have to compromise on seeing the acts they love. The data shows that while fans want to revel in their freedom, over a fifth (23 per cent) of the nation just want a chance to meet other like-minded gig-goers.”
She continued: “To play our part and inspire fan confidence before one of the decade’s biggest tours, we’ve created the first ‘Solo Socials’ event, complete with a doctor-approved, solo gig-going guide. With our help, we want more gig-lovers to create unforgettable experiences they can carry with them forever.”
The ticketing platform has also teamed up with an NHS doctor and gig-going aficionado, to share her expert tips and tricks to empower fans before one of Swift’s eight big nights at Wembley.
Dr Ally Jaffee said: “Taylor Swift fans are some of the most passionate in the world, yet the thought of many not going to see the superstar live as they’re worried about being on their own just didn’t sit right with me. Feeling nervous in a big, new environment is natural, studies show that your cortisol levels will begin to spike. However, as the viagogo study shows, leaving your comfort zone can be liberating! Almost two in five (38%) fans noted a rise in self-confidence after their first solo gig – and that could be you.
“To help more fans, I’ve pulled together seven top-tips in an easy acronym for any Swifties heading to Wembley by themselves. They could be the difference between sitting at home and getting FOMO or having the best night of your life”.
