As it turns out, Anne Hathaway is way more than just an actress. While one might assume that a singing battle between the actress and singer Kelly Clarkson will produce only one result, that was clearly not the case on Tuesday's episode of The Kelly Clarkson Show.

The actress literally floored Clarkson during a game of Sing That Name That Tune on the daytime television variety talk show as the singer failed to recognize one of her hit songs before Hathaway did.

Hathaway won the game with her rendition of Clarkson's song that the singer herself failed to identify

At one point in the game (hosted by comedian Matt Iseman), in which Anne Hathaway and Kelly Clarkson competed to be the first to recognize and sing a song from its tune, the actress was leading the score.

When asked by Clarkson to play 'a freaking song' she would know, the band specifically played her 2004 hit single Since U Been Gone.

However, it was Hathaway who quickly identified the song and belted out a passionate rendition of it, causing the talk show host to collapse onto the ground.

Once Hathaway was done singing, Clarkson, who picked herself up from the floor and threw her arm up in frustration, asked:

"How did you know it from just that?"

Hathaway quickly replied:

"Kelly Clarkson, if you do not understand how much we all loved that song, everybody here knew it on the first one. Everybody here knew it!"

In response to the actress, Clarkson noted:

"Should I just quit? This is embarrassing… Whatever, I’m so happy for you. Jesus, take the wheel."

Twitter was flooded with tweets from surprised fans

Anne Hathaway's performance went viral almost as soon as the video was published by the talk show's YouTube channel, leaving millions of fans either shocked or at least surprised.

A great deal of tweets followed the same pattern as fans, who could not believe how well the actress could sing, had only one question.

One fan complemented the actress' rendition of Since U Been Gone as they referred to her as "perfect."

Another fan reminded others of the fact that Hathaway literally won an Oscar for her performance (which included singing a song) in the 2012 movie Les Misérables.

One person questioned the fact that people are still unaware of Hathaway's singing abilities.

One Twitter user mentioned that one can "never beat a theater kid (Anne Hathaway) at these types of games."

One netizen praised the actress' vocal skills, noting that being able to sing a Kelly Clarkson song is legit.

Whereas another person wrote:

One fan stated that Hathaway's performance reminded them of the fact that she starred and sang in Ella Enchanted and Les Misérables.

One social media user said:

Another user commented that the actress could easily 'make it as a singer' if she ever stops acting.

This is not the first time Anne Hathaway has shown off her vocal skills
