This season, Spike’s Lip Sync Battle has pitted the likes of late-night hosts Craig Ferguson and Jay Leno, NFL players Ray Lewis and Tony Gonzalez, and HBO stars Sam Richardson and T.J. Miller against each other. It’s unclear what Kate Upton and Ricky Martin have in common — besides recently appearing in the same episode of Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen — but the model and pop star-turned-actor (how long before Upton’s on American Crime Story?) both appear in Thursday’s episode of the hit series.
Spike hasn’t released a clip featuring Martin yet, but it doesn’t matter — Upton has this thing in the bag. Just as she destroyed Jimmy Fallon in The Tonight Show‘s “Dance Battle,” Upton will clobber the “Livin’ la Vida Loca” singer with her performance of Britney Spears’ “…Baby One More Time,” which seems like a thing the internet might be interested in. Upton isn’t quite as omnipresent as she was a few years ago, during the Carl’s Jr. days, but she’s still having a fine 2017: she graced the cover of Sports Illustrated‘s “Swimsuit Issue” for the third time, and her road-trip comedy, The Layover, with Baywatch‘s Alexandra Daddario comes out this summer.
But it’s all for naught if she loses this competition. Just ask Justin Verlander.
