In a new Instagram post made by Oprah, she gushed at the “Empire” actress’ great portrayal of the character Shug Avery.

Oprah’s post read, “I’ve longed admired Taraji. She can make you laugh, cry, cheer, and feel everything in between. But I had no idea she could SANG! Taraji the actress: A force. Taraji the singer? A complete revelation.”

She continued, “What I love about her portrayal of Shug Avery is that she plays her like a woman who not only sang the blues but had lived the blues.

Only Taraji could do that. She shared that her late father once told her, ‘You’re going to be one of the greatest actresses alive but wait until the world hears you sing.’ Taraji, the stage is now yours and I already see the standing ovations for you. I’m fiercely welcoming Taraji to the Purple sisterhood and I cannot wait for you to meet her version of Shug.”
