Carrie Underwood, the iconic voice behind Sunday Night Football's theme song since 2013, has dropped a new intro video that follows the familiar script... until a surprising twist at the very end.
Underwood's rendition of "Waiting All Day for Sunday Night," a clever homage to Joan Jett's "I Hate Myself for Loving You," has become synonymous with football excitement. Each week, the intro features captivating clips showcasing players from the competing teams.
Also...did you catch Underwood's drumming skills? Those beats are no illusion — the multi-talented superstar took command of the drum kit during her most recent tour.
The latest kickoff video made its debut on Sunday, September 10, just before the the Dallas Cowboys beat the New York Giants 40-0 at MetLife Stadium.
While Underwood's official tour may have wrapped up, her schedule for 2023 is still buzzing. A Las Vegas residency and a series of shows alongside Guns N' Roses have kept her on the move this summer.
Mark your calendars for later this month: On September 22, the deluxe edition of Underwood's Denim & Rhinestones album is set to drop, promising a collection of fresh, new tracks to look forward to.
