Viewers got to know Tamar Braxton first on WE’s Braxton Family Values, but we really got to know her a lot better on her spinoff with her husband, music manager Vince Herbert, Tamar & Vince.

“When Tamar & Vince first started, it was a lot to watch only because Vince and I was kind of going through something in our marriage,” Braxton tells Celebuzz in our Hollywood studio this week.

“And we had to get through that rough spot to get to where we are now,” she continues. “I’m so excited to see us grow as a couple and individually and you get to see me grow as an artist.”

Fans also watched as Braxton worked on her solo career for all of us to watch. And it all culminates with a showcase on Thursday’s finale.

“I’m just so excited, because you get to hear Love And War,” Braxton said of the year-ender. “And I’ve been working really hard on this album to make sure it was up to my standards. Because in the past, I just felt like I’ve done music that was up to other people’s standards. Everybody wanted me to sing songs like [my sister] Toni [Braxton]. That’s not the kind of artist that I am.”

“I really wanted to make sure that you get to see my sassiness, my fun-ness and, you know, me popping and dropping. I’m definitely doing that,” the 35-year-old adds.

Watch our full interview with Tamar above.

The Tamar & Vince season finale airs Thursday at 9 PM on WE.
