We now have a video of Kai's second visit to the show in 2017. This time the song choice for Kai was "Thinking Out Loud," a hit by Ed Sheeran. The song was a risk for Kai. It was awarded with a Grammy for best song of the year.

Kai had a gift for Ellen before he began to sing. The gift was a photo of Kai on a handmade frame. Following a brief conversation between the two, Ellen asked the young singer if he was ready to perform for the audience.

The 8-year-old burst into the song without hesitation. Kai closed his eyes and lost himself in the emotion of the song. The crowd is thrilled with the performance and cheered loudly.

As Kai approached the end of his performance, Ed Sheeran entered from off-stage and sat right behind him. Kai was totally unaware of Sheeran's presence. Sheeran tapped his foot to the music and listened with admiration as the young boy finished belting out the song. The enjoyment felt by the Grammy award-winning singer was clear for all to see.

Kai did not become aware of Sheeran's presence until he finished the song. His reaction will bring you much amusement.

As an added treat, Ellen had a gift for Kai. The young boy and his family were given an all-expenses paid trip to attend a soccer game in Manchester, England.
