Read full article: Hereโs why you are going to want to start watching โVerzuzโ on Instagram Live right nowWhat started as some entertainment during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic has turned into one of the must-see Instagram Live shows.

While the performances are so much fun to watch, what really makes โVerzuzโ so entertaining is the chit chat between the stars, as well as the comment section on Instagram Live. Itโs pretty surreal to see comments pop in from First Lady Michelle Obama, Oprah, Mariah Carey and Viola Davis, but they were watching the same Instagram Live stream as everyone else. We donโt know who will be up next for a โVerzuzโ battle, but hereโs to hoping weโll get to witness another epic night.
