Watch: Kirk Cousins sings to Tom Brady during NFL awards show
Give Kirk Cousins a Grammy. The Minnesota Vikings quarterback stunned the world Thursday night when he walked onto the stage at the NFL Honors show and sang a brief verse to Tom Brady, set to the tune of Kelly Clarkson's hit single "Since You've Been Gone."
Cousins, wearing the gold and diamond necklaces that birthed his alter ego Kirko Chainz, delivered these lyrics.
Tom won seven times, went to ten
He's on some beach, so maybe Kirk can win
Yeah yeah, since he's been gone
It was brief but electrifying.
"I'm sorry, Kelly. I just wanted to sing one quick tribute song to Tom Brady, on behalf of all the other quarterbacks in the league," Cousins told Clarkson.
"First of all, you can really sing. What?" said Clarkson, who then burst into her own version of the song. The lyrics:
Cuz now that he's gone
Teams have hope for the first itme
Brady's moving on, yeah yeah
For the goat, that's a wrap
Now he just posts thirst traps
Now that he's gone
The epic moment came shortly after Vikings superstar wide receiver Justin Jefferson won awards for Moment of the Year (for his catch against the Bills) and AP Offensive Player of the Year.
"Give it up for Kirk Cousins, who can sing, apparently!" Clarkson joked to close their segment.
