    Kelly Clarkson Recreated Tom Brady's Viral Thirst Trap At The NFL Honors And Boy, Did The Football Bros Look Shocked

    That is one shocked-looking audience...

    Now, I may know absolutely nothing about American football. Hell, sports in general have never exactly been my forte. But even I can tell you these things: Tom Brady recently retired from the NFL (again) and he is freshly divorced.

    Oh, and he recently posted this photo on Instagram:

    Fast forward to this week, when Kelly Clarkson joined (*Lizzo voice*) Minnesota Vikings QB Kirk Cousins at the NFL Honors to give Tom a tribute via a "Since U Been Gone" parody.

    A quick moment to shoutout Kelly's Dallas Cowboys-themed dress, before we continue:

    Anyway, the song included plenty of nods to how Brady is the GOAT, etc., etc.

    Lest that wasn't enough, the Instagram photo was projected on stage for maximum impact:

    As for the audience's reaction:

    people clapping while others try to block their face

    Ahhhhh, sports.
