Back in January, Beyonce shocked the world when she came out of hiding to perform alongside Channing Tatum on ‘Lip Sync Battle.’ Months later, people are still talking about it and now executive producer Casey Patterson is telling us how it all went down.
According to Patterson, the show leaves much of the song choices and props up to the celebrity contestants. They ask what artists and songs the celebrity contestants like, and then they try their best to get it cleared. The same goes with special guests, most times the celebrity will reach out to a special guest to personally join them on stage. This is what happened with Channing Tatum and Beyonce.
He’s irresistible,” Patterson says. “He’s so talented. If he’s going to do the choreography, you know he’s going to nail it and it will be unbelievable. He was just so devoted to it. He was in it. He went method,” she says with a laugh.
“We all gathered around and we pitched it to her but Channing jumped in and asked her personally. I think at some point he made a little video for her of his rehearsal just letting her know he was going to crush it.”
Channing Tatum actually met Beyonce for the first time, during the taping. There was a moment where he forgot to dance,” Patterson says, laughing.
Who knew Beyonce was so much of a Channing Tatum fan that he could get her to join him on stage? In case you missed that epic performance, watch it below.
