Kanye West surprised Kim Kardashian with V-Day to trump all V-Day gifts. In a series of braggadocious Instagram Stories, Kim Kardashians best exemplified the expression "leave no stone unturned" when she brandished her V-Day gift of a private Kenny G serenade. For those born after the year 2000, Kenny G is often credited with popularizing the "Smooth Jazz" trend that took over radio airwaves in the early to mid-90s.

By the looks of it, Kim Kardashian was very much pleased with private performance of Kenny G's unforgettable cover of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow," as she took to Instagram once again, to write: "Best husband award goes to mine, Most thoughtful gifts ever!"

As Complex would have it, this isn't the first time Kanye West has arranged for a private performance. In light of Kim's interest in Lana Del Ray's music, Kanye West once commissioned a full orchestra to perform a medley of her songs, for what I'd imagine was a compensatory act for being a goof husband - then, when it came for the Mega-Couple to tie the knot, they had the "real" Lana Del Ray perform the wedding reception. Oh, and there's also that time Kanye West lured 112 out of retirement to sing another medley sonata, this time over FaceTime, due to geographical constraints.
