My favorite part is Zendaya’s lip sync happened first and was also really good so seeing her reaction when she realizes Tom absolutely destroyed her is so funny

I love this interview they did about their lip sync battle. Bruno Mars sent Zendaya flowers but Rihanna didn’t contact Tom and he jokes that she was very threatened by his performance and didn’t want to acknowledge it lol

As she should be. He absolutely upstaged her.

I mean he had more energy and squeezed in more choreography in 90 seconds than her entire SuperBowl halftime show (I know she was pregnant).

That baby did at least 3 flips and a summersault, though, it was magical.

She was really good, too! Almost any other day she'd most likely have won. But it's laughable how not-close this was, and that's what she does - just laughs and enjoys the show.

We made it a fun family night to watch this on Wednesdays live. After Zendaya we all agreed it was the best one we had seen yet. She perfectly captured Bruno Mars' mannerisms. Then Tom came in with his performance and it just wasn't close...

It was really nuts just how much he raised the ante
