The only downside to Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again is her shocking lack of a solo. Luckily, we will always have "Does Your Mother Know".

6. Seriously, her Broadway credits are amazing:

7. Her comedic timing is nop-notch:

8. You just know she'd make the perfect BFF:

9. Her chemistry with Julie Walters is unmatched:

Seriously, there needs to be a Mamma Mia 3 that focuses on Rosie's present-day wedding and flashes back to Tanya's three weddings. THIS IS THE BEST IDEA, DON'T @ ME.

10. And so is her chemistry with literally all men:

Honestly, her portrayal of young Tanya was so spot-on, she deserves to win some kind of an award for capturing Christine so flawlessly. Any kind of award will do. Literally, does anyone have an old trophy we can repurpose?

15. WE LOVE YOU, CHRISTINE!!!
