Dewan-Tatum's "Magic Mike XXL"-inspired dance to Ginuwine's "Pony" thrilled the audience, but Channing Tatum's rendition of Beyoncé's "Run the World (Girls)" was the biggest surprise of the night.
After emerging in full make-up, costume, and wig, Tatum impressively whipped out Beyoncé's dance moves. And as if that wasn't enough for a winning performance, he sealed the deal with the help of Queen B herself.
Standing behind host LL Cool J, Dewan-Tatum was shocked when Beyoncé emerged from backstage.
And co-host Chrissy Teigen was all smiles when Beyoncé strutted onstage.
Twitter exploded with responses to the surprise lip sync duet.
