Top 8 Celebrity Lip Sync Battles, Ever

Anne Hathaway really did that.

If you haven't seen clips of Lip Sync Battle, then you probably haven't been down a YouTube rabbit hole at 3 AM while elbow-deep in a family-sized bag of Cheese Nipz.

If that's the case, good for you, you functional member of society. Now follow me to Wonderland, motherf*cker.

If you are too wearied by climate despair and capitalism to infer what the show's about from the title, don't worry, we'll explain. The show essentially pits two celebrities against each other in a lip sync battle, wherein both contestants try to outdo each other by performing theatrical, dance-heavy lip sync performances of well-known songs. Created by John Krasinski and Stephen Merchant and hosted by Twitter Queen Chrissy Teigen and rapper LL Cool J, the concept was first realized as a segment on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon before being turned into a hit show on Paramount network (formerly known as Spike).


It's honestly worth checking out the show just to watch Chrissy Teigen do anything, but it's a bonus that there have been some pretty iconic moments throughout the show's five seasons. Here are the top 8 lip sync battles, ever!

Dwayne Johnson's "Shake It Off" vs Jimmy Fallon's "Jump In The Line" | Lip Sync Battle

This was the first ever episode of the hit series, and it's safe to say it was a strong start. Jimmy Fallon himself takes the stage, but he struggles to compete with The Rock's high energy rendition of "Shake It Off."

Who doesn't love a reality TV crossover?! Yeah, neither do we, but this performance by the Fab 5 makes staring into the incestuous void of the simulation worth it.

Zendaya is a national treasure, but Tom Holland's commitment to the bit will even outshine that of the frat boy who's still hell-bent on keeping "Thats what she said" alive.

The entirety of the Emily Blunt vs. Anne Hathaway Lip Sync episode is awe-inspiring, but it's impossible to beat Anne Hathaway's performance of Miley Cyrus' "Wrecking Ball." The Academy-Award winning actress leaps onto a wrecking ball hanging from the ceiling and flicks off Blunt without missing a lyric. Her Oscar has never felt more well-deserved.
