Jennifer Lawrence is adding a sweet new skill to her resume.
The Hunger Games star gave heading up a cover band a shot on Amy Poehler’s award-winning podcast Good Hang, going viral for her impassioned performance of Shania Twain's "Any Man of Mine," and the Grammy winner more than approves.
The hysterical moment came after the Parks and Rec star asked Lawrence about her go-to karaoke song. In a gobsmacking admission that left many fans shocked, Poehler revealed she was unfamiliar with the tune, telling Lawrence, "This is where your Kentucky comes in."

She pulled it up on the laptop in front of her and hit play, sparking a performance that would be difficult for anyone to follow.
Lawrence put on a solid country twang as she sang along to the verse, causing Poehler to giggle in the background as she bopped her head to the beat.
“Woo!” the sitcom star cheered as Lawrence continued, stumbling over the words a bit but recovering smoothly, grabbing the microphone in front of her as she got really into the pre-chorus.
Her voice gave out a bit on the chorus, but she kept at it, with Poehler complimenting, “You’re good!”
“I know,” she quipped, shooting a sassy look at the camera. “Really good.”
The "That Don't Impress Me Much" songstress went back on her word, sharing a video of the moment on X and applauding, "This is so perfect 😂."

On Instagram, the country superstar added, “The passion! The energy! The microphone grab!! 😂 Obsessed. Love ya Jennifer.. and you Amy! ❤️."
Many are crossing their fingers that this could serve as the inspiration needed to get Twain herself on the podcast, with one "wink wink nudge nudging" Poehler as they replied, "Shania Twain would be an excellent guest on the pod."
Others appreciated the moment for what it was, calling it the "hard hitting journalism I have been looking for."
"This episode was pure gold but this part made me laugh and smile so much!!!!" someone else applauded. "This is my go to karaoke song tooooo and it just made me so happy! Jen is such a gal’s gal!!!!!"
Meanwhile, others couldn't grasp Poehler's lack of musical knowledge, with one begging, "Please tell me you are joking Amy that you didn't know this song hahaha literally one of the best country songs of the 90s 😍😍😍😍😍."
"Amy, I love you enough to overlook the IMPOSSIBILITY of you not knowing this song! 😮," another commented.
