“Let the choir sing!” The Internet has been gifted (again!) with a video of Heated Rivalry’s Connor Storrie dancing to Madonna’s “Like a Prayer.”
Nearly two months after Interview magazine uploaded a clip of Storrie dancing and lip-syncing to the pop classic during a photo shoot, the publication celebrated Storrie’s 26th birthday on Sunday (Feb. 22) by dropping a previously unreleased video from the same shoot.
In the latest clip, Storrie playfully lip-syncs and grooves to the song, drops to his knees (timed to the lyric “I’m down on my knees”), pours water on himself, crawls toward the camera, and then leans back to look to the sky.
Since its upload on Sunday morning, the new clip has generated 7.6 million views combined, globally, on Interview’s Instagram, TikTok and Twitter accounts after a little more than a day. The original clip, uploaded Dec. 27, has generated more than 15 million clicks across those same platforms to date.
Interview’s birthday upload comes less than a week before Storrie makes his hosting debut on NBC’s Saturday Night Live this weekend. Perhaps the Queen of Pop can take a break from working on her forthcoming album (due later this year) and drop by for a cameo on SNL.
“Like a Prayer” was the title track and lead single from the album of the same name, released in 1989. The track spent three weeks atop the Billboard Hot 100, and the album clocked six weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart.
Storrie’s “Prayer” moments are part of the song’s ongoing revival in pop culture, alongside its use in figure skater Amber Glenn’s routine during the Olympics and its prominent placement in the 2024 film Deadpool & Wolverine.
