Serena Williams may have had fun shooting Beyoncé’s Lemonade, but she left feeling pretty sore.

In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, the tennis superstar reveals that those moves weren’t so easy. “I got really sore from dancing!” She added that she and Bey have known each other for a long time, so while her cameo in the video was a little surprising, it wasn’t one that just came out of the blue. 

Serena Williams is Now the World’s Highest Paid Female Athlete

The athlete was also sworn to secrecy for months, which she had no problem with, admitting she knows how to keep her lips zipped. “If you tell me, ‘Don’t say anything,’ I won’t say anything.” Guess we know who to turn to if we need someone to keep a secret.
