Husband-wife duo Channing and Jenna Dewan-Tatum kicked Lip Sync Battle’s second season off Thursday night with true virtuosity. For the centerpiece showdown, the latter whipped out a very impressive rendition of a certain Magic Mike XXL dance, set to Ginuwine’s “Pony.” Channing promptly responded with a “Run the World (Girls)” duet, which, as the headline should’ve given away, summoned the powers of the real Beyoncé. Behold:
Yep — dang is right. It was great. And so were all the reactions to the surprise double dose of Bey. In case you missed any, here are some screengrabs:
LL Cool J: Okay, am I in The Lego Movie? Is everything about to be awesome?
Chrissy Teigen: I cannot breathe. I am trying.
Jenna Dewan-Tatum: My head exploded, but I caught it because I can’t miss this.
This random girl, representative of the world: Haha, I am having a good time watching this and hoping it never ends.
Channing Tatum: You actually came! Here, hurry, let’s bump heads.
Beyoncé: You are welcome.
Thank you. (And for other highlights from the battle of the spouses, head here.)
