Move over Tom Cruise, Tina Fey lip-syncing Beyonce's is our favorite celebrity cover performance of the day.

The "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt" co-creator/executive producer appeared to be on a flight with the show's stars Jane Krakowski and Tituss Burgess, the latter of whom posted a video of Fey's short-but-stellar performance -- and we are oh-so-grateful he did.

The Instagram clip starts off on Burgess, who plays aspiring star-turned-YouTube sensation in the Netflix comedy. Yes, he of "Peeno Noir" fame. Then it pans to the straight-faced "30 Rock" alums, who deliver the hook effortlessly (and silently). Bey would be proud.

In the caption, the Emmy Award nominee calls out the actresses for not partaking in the wonders of social media: "I love @beyonce #nofilter #jetlife #unbreakle #netflix #janegetontwitter #tinaiknowyouwon't #peenonoir

Earlier that day, the trio was promoting Season 2 of the Ellie Kemper-starring comedy at the Television Critics Assn. summer press tour in Beverly Hills. There, Fey elaborated on the streaming service's mum ratings policy, saying that it was much more freeing than being bound to next-day ratings as she had been in her "30 Rock" days at NBC. Incidentally, "Unbreakable" started off at NBC before jumping over to Netflix.

"We know that [Netflix executive Ted Sarandos] is pleased, which is great news, but we don't have any actual numbers," she told reporters. "I feel anecdotally, I feel like I immediately heard from so many more people than we would hear from during '30 Rock. I feel like a lot of people are watching ['Unbreakable'] ... But, yes, it's very free to be free of that rating system, for sure."
