Ty Hunter: God Said, "Get Down There to Houston!"

Stylist-to-the-stars, creative visionary, and an inspiration in every way — Ty Hunter joins TS Madison for a can’t-miss conversation about faith, fashion, and the career pivot that changed everything. You may know Ty as Beyoncé’s longtime stylist, but years ago his life looked drastically different. He was making heart valves for a medical supply company in Austin, until a tragic wake up call had him reevaluating the trajectory of his life. Driven by a dream that he couldn’t ignore, Ty opens up about the moment God told him to “get down there to Houston.” What followed wasn’t just a whole new career... it was DESTINY. Ty takes Maddie for a strut down the memory RUNWAY: working at Bebe (c’mon rhinestone T-shirts!), meeting and learning from Ms. Tina Knowles (our first-ever “Outlaws” guest), styling Destiny’s Child as they skyrocketed to superstardom, and ultimately joining Beyoncé when she went solo, life on tour, the Barack Obama question he’ll never forget, stepping away from styling at the height of his career, writing a memoir, dealing with industry rumors, and the full-circle return for Beyoncé’s “Cowboy Carter” tour. Also: Ms. Tina’s motherly mentorship, finding answers through solitude, trying to date while chasing your dreams, the energy transfer that exists in relationships, entrepreneurship beyond glam, creative rebirth, intuition and spiritual guidance, the way Ty protects Beyoncé, and his take on what makes a truly exceptional stylist.  Loving this episode?

"Outlaws" is hosted by TS Madison, and is part of the Outspoken Network from iHeartPodcasts, co-produced by Turtle Run Entertainment. - Is it on? Is it on?? Honey, is this thing recording?! TS Madison broke the Internet with six seconds and a 22-inch weave. And she didn’t just go viral — she became part of the culture, from “RuPaul's Drag Race” to Beyoncé’s “Renaissance.” Her superpower? Her voice. Her kryptonite? Doesn’t exist. Her podcast? The one they never saw coming.  Each week on “Outlaws,” Madison sits down with living legends and rising stars who shed their armor and own their stories — turning side-eyes into sermons, pain into punchlines, and grief into galaxies. They speak when silence is safer. They dream when told to disappear. And they know what so many are taught to fear: that when you speak your truth, you open a portal.Join our Patreon for exclusive content.: https://patreon.com/outlawswithtsmadisonSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
