Watch: Kirk Cousins singing Taylor Swift song at backyard concert
Kirk Cousins's angelic voice was caught on camera by his wife Julie at a backyard concert Thursday night, which featured a performance by Vikings wide receiver Blake Proehl.
Julie Cousins went live on Instagram at 8:45 p.m. as Proehl was performing Taylor Swift's "Love Story," and Kirk was singing along as the campfire burned – a wholesome scene featuring the NFL's most wholesome quarterback.

While Kirk gets the attention because he's one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL, Proehl is arguably one of the most multi-talented players on the team. Not only is is a wide receiver, but he's an up-and-coming solo artist on the music scene.
In July, Proehl performed at the Fine Line in Minneapolis. Iconic Minneapolis music venue First Avenue described Proehl as a singer-songrwriter whose "pop and R&B sound has the natural likability of predecessors like Justin Bieber, and Proehl’s humility and gentle spirit make it hard not to want to root for him."
Cousins is a pretty solid singer, having established some skill while performing musicals at Holland Christian High School in Michigan.
Cousins's popularity has skyrocketed in the last 15 months. It all seemed to start with the "Kirko Chainz" phenomenon followed by his starring role in the Netflix series "Quarterback." And just this week the NFL released a commercial poking fun at the idea of the NFL season being scripted and Cousins is shirtless and decorated with chainz to match his Kirko Chainz alter ego.
He also famously serenaded Tom Brady at the NFL Honors show to the tune of "Since You've Been Gone" in front of Kelly Clarkson herself.
