“Tom’s won seven times went to ten he’s on some beach so maybe Kirk could win,” Cousins began before Clarkson interrupted him.

“That doesn’t really sound like a tribute, it kind of sounds like you’re happy Brady is gone because it gives you and the other teams a better shot,” she said on stage. “And I am totally for this. I think Brady’s retirement is good for him, great for us.”

She took over the mantle of the humorous cover, singing, “‘Cause now that he’s gone, teams have hope for the first time, Brady’s moving on yeah yeah, for the GOAT, that’s a wrap, now he just posts thirst traps, now that he’s gone.”
