America is going to have a problem with how good Sherri Shepherd's Beyoncé tribute turned out.
The talk show host wore six different outfits during an opening number that the pop star made iconic throughout her Renaissance World Tour.
Shepherd started in a red bodysuit with a full dance number alongside a young performer that replicated Beyoncé's dance break with Blue Ivy to "My Power."
Five outfits later, Shepherd landed on a chrome-decorated horse just like how the 32-time Grammy Award winner closed out her shows.

Shepherd pulled out all the stops, even getting Beyoncé's mom Tina Knowles to come as a guest on Tuesday's show.
Knowles wore the exact red jumpsuit her daughter performed in on tour, revealing Beyoncé sent over six options for her to choose from.
"I didn't think I could get in it," Knowles said. "I haven't eaten in a few days though."
"The Talk" co-hosts each took on some of music's biggest stars for Halloween. Amanda Kloots dressed as Taylor Swift, Natalie Morales channeled Olivia Rodrigo, Jerry O'Connell got tatted as Post Malone and Akbar Gbajabiamila and Sheryl Underwood dressed as Grammy-dominating couple Jay-Z and Beyoncé.
They each donned different outfits for the musical acts. Perhaps the most iconic was Kloots wearing a Kansas City Chiefs jersey with Travis Kelce's number, a nod to Swift's many appearances to support the NFL tightend on the field.
Tamron Hall went down the yellow brick road as Dorothy from the Broadway musical "The Wiz," which debuted in 1974. The show returned this year for a third U.S. national tour.
Deborah Cox, who is starring as Glinda in the 2023 run, performed "Believe in Yourself" from the musical for guests and also discussed the impact the story has had for nearly 50 years.
"This show captures the essence of the story of 'The Wizard of Oz.' And I think every single person in the show brings their spirit and energy to the roles – that makes it very, very special. It's our stories, but all of our stories are unanimous," Cox said. "We all share the same fears, the same insecurities. And this show, we’re able to bring some light and some joy to every single audience telling this story."
"Halloween: The Eras Show" took over Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos' syndicated talk show Tuesday, with the married couple and co-hosts undergoing some elaborate transformations to turn into a "Golden Bachelor"-inspired couple.
Here's a time-lapse video showing the co-hosts getting into character.
The co-hosts also dressed up as '60s husband and wife Sonny and Cher.
"Today" co-hosts celebrated with Kelly Clarkson by paying tribute to their fellow daytime host's "Kellyoke" segment on her namesake show.
Al Roker took it back to the '80s dressed as Lionel Richie, Jheri curl wig included. "Who doesn’t love Lionel Richie? He’s a soundtrack. He’s still playing those songs," he told Today digital.
Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager teamed up to sing "I Got You Babe" as they also dressed as Sonny and Cher. "We don't have a choreographed dance, but ours is in the facial expression," Hager said of their performance.
Peter Alexander and Laura Jarrett impressed as powerhouse couple Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani. "I’m not a country guy, but I have committed this week and I'm all in, on all things," Alexander said.
Alexander also revealed his co-host Carson Daly, who is friends with Shelton and Stefani, gave him a "bit of extra help" to nail "The Voice" singer's impression.
Savannah Guthrie brought along her daughter Vale and they both dressed up as Taylor Swift.
Craig Melvin arrived as himself but did a rendition of MC Hammer's hit "U Can't Touch This." Melvin told "Today" his first concert was at the Carolina Coliseum in 1991. "It was Vanilla Ice, En Vogue and MC Hammer. It was a heck of a show."
Daly dressed as Neil Diamond in disco pants and a heeled boot to sing "Sweet Caroline," Willie Geist wore a snug bodysuit as Harry Styles, Dylan Dreyer recreated a look from Pink to sing "Raise Your Glass" and Sheinelle Jones took on Diana Ross' "I'm Coming Out."
Clarkson channeled her inner vamp on Tuesday, donning a curve-hugging long black dress a la Morticia Addams.
Clarkson's makeup made her look pale as bloody tears ran down her face. Fitting for the occasion and the costume, Clarkson performed an iconic and haunting rendition of Olivia Rodrigo's "Vampire."
"I am rock 'n' roll vampire," she declared in a reveal of her costume.
She also appeared on "Today" to introduce the show's co-hosts as they paid tribute to her "Kellyoke" segment.

"The Jennifer Hudson Show" celebrated a hip-hop Halloween on Tuesday, with the host and singer paying tribute to rapper Missy Elliott.
Hudson, wearing the iconic inflatable suit and sunglasses from Elliott's "The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly)" music video, performed the 2023 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee's debut single, which was released in 1997.
"Listen, I don't know how Missy could see through these glasses. Or how she could catch her breath," Hudson said. "Missy, you are a true legend. Nobody does it like the original."
Watch the iconic performance here:
Drew Barrymore grabbed a paintbrush and a curly wig to host her namesake show as painter Bob Ross.
Barrymore also had guest and comedian Ross Mathews channel his inner queen during the show as Dolly Parton.
"Happy Dollyween everybody, it's me Dolly Parton," Mathews introduced himself. "I am a judge on 'RuPaul’s Drag Race' but this is my first time in drag."
Ree Drummond was a guest turned host for the Halloween show, dressing as Barrymore while she did a demo on spooktacular snacks.
