Kelly Clarkson Tweaks 'Since U Been Gone' To Mock Tom Brady At Super Bowl Awards Show

Kelly Clarkson gave retiring quarterback Tom Brady her own farewell gift Thursday: a parody of her 2004 hit Since U Been Gone. (Watch the video below.)

While hosting the NFL Honors show in Phoenix days before the Super Bowl there, the talk show host zinged Brady for recently posing in his underwear .

For the GOAT, thats a wrap/ Now he just posts thirst traps/ Now that hes gone, she sang.

For the GOAT, thats a wrap.

In her monologue , Clarkson threatened to mess up the seven-time Super Bowl winner if he ventured into daytime talk shows.

Clarkson also poked fun at the Dallas Cowboys for another early playoff exit and characterized the Super Bowl as a game between the Kansas City Chiefs and some garbage other team, meaning the Philadelphia Eagles.

She gave a nod to Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and Eagles center Jason Kelce being the first brothers to play against each other in the big game.

Thanks, Donna Kelce and her ovaries for making this possible, Clarkson joked of the players mom.
