Beyoncé Texted Channing Tatum The Best Thing After Their 'Lip Sync Battle'

by Anna Menta

Full confession time: I burst into tears when Beyoncé came out and joined Channing Tatum for his performance of "Run the World (Girls)" on "Lip Sync Battle" earlier this month.

IT WAS JUST SO BEAUTIFUL! If you haven't seen that yet, you need to stop reading this silly article and go watch it immediately.

OK, now that we're all on the same page about how incredible that moment was, here's the behind-the-scenes scoop. Channing told Ellen DeGeneres he never expected the real Bey to show up. Dude just wanted, like, a cardboard cutout or something.

But, of course, the real, non-cardboard version showed up, and everything was so beautiful. Apparently, that battle was the first time Channing ever met Queen Bey.

BUT, THIS IS THE BEST PART: After the show, Beyoncé texted Channing.

According to Channing, she said,

Hey, I would love to, like, meet you guys and hang out when you're not looking like me and so terrifying.

Perfect.
