He will be featured on Lip Sync Battle on Spike

Proving that there’s really not much he couldn’t do (and look good while at it), Dwayne Johnson aka “The Rock” posted the short video below to his Instagram page, showing him doing the meanest cover ever of Taylor Swift’s “Shake It Off” hit.

He even has all the right moves!

Before you start wondering whether he’s thinking of switching careers, I should add that this serves as teaser for the upcoming show on Spike, Lip Sync Battle, a spinoff of the Jimmy Fallon segment that included guests like Paul Rudd, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Kevin Hart and Will Ferrell.

Since the segment proved such a hit, they’re making it into a show, with LL Cool J acting as host. However, for the show, which premieres on April 2, guests will have to do a bit more than “just” lip sync, since they will also be provided with wardrobes and backup dancers. So yes, it will probably be very funny.

The Rock is one of the guests from the first episode. From other teasers available online, we already know other celebrity guests, including former boxing champ Mike Tyson, John Legend and Common (they will actually be featured against one another), Legend’s wife Chrissy Teigen, Jennifer Lopez, John Krasinski, and Anna Kendrick.

Right under The Rock’s video is the official trailer for Lip Sync Battle.
