Imagine fighting the hustle and bustle of Christmastime in New York City to record the perfect video of you and your loved ones performing your best Rockettes kickline in front of Radio City Music Hall, just to be photobombed... by Kelly Clarkson.
That's exactly what happened to TikToker Marc Jordan Cohen when he and his family attempted to capture an iconic NYC holiday moment.
As Cohen and members of his family set out to achieve perfectly synchronized high kicks, Clarkson, nearly unrecognizable in her sunglasses, beanie, hoodie and vest, stepped into the frame before realizing what was going on.
As soon as she put two and two together, as made obvious by her shocked expression, she stopped for a brief moment before slowly backing away.
Fortunately for the internet, Cohen posted the hilarious encounter to TikTok for all the world to enjoy.
He captioned it:
"Can't believe @kellyclarkson just photobombed our silly family kickline."

Clarkson herself took to the comments to issue an apology for the incredibly amusing mishap.
She wrote:
"I didn't see what y'all were doing until it was too late ha!"
"My bad 🤦♀️😂💁🏼♀️"

Needless to say, there were no hard feelings.
The TikToker replied:
"KELLY!! We just wish we asked you to join us!! 😭"
