Before NFL<\/a> fans get to watch Bad Bunny’s halftime show at Super Bowl<\/a> LX, they’ll get to hear Carrie Underwood’s voice one last time this season.<\/p>\n

Underwood has performed “Waiting All Day for Sunday\u00a0Night” on NBC for the past 13 NFL seasons. The intro for the 2025 season was adjusted a tad to showcase the eight-time Grammy Award winner’s talent.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor\u00a0the 20th season of\u00a0SNF, we wanted to set the tone for the night by reimagining the anthem sound in a way that plays to Carrie\u2019s powerhouse vocals, while visually creating a seamless blend of stylized shots and behind-the-scenes moments evoking the national roadshow that is Sunday Night Football, week after week in the fall,\u201d said Tripp Dixon, the creative director for the SNF opener<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Although we’re a day away from Super Bowl LX at Levi’s Stadium, fans received a sneak peek at Underwood’s final outfit of the season.<\/p>\n

Underwood posted two photos of her wearing a stunning blue dress<\/a> along with the caption: “Gearing up for the biggest night in the NFL. Only champions make it this far.”<\/p>\n

Unsurprisingly, NFL fans raved about Underwood’s look for the Super Bowl.<\/p>\n

“It would worth going to the Super Bowl just to see that dress,” one fan said.<\/p>\n

“Love you Carrie and your music,” a second fan replied. “I wish you were the halftime show I would watch it I love your Sunday night opening songs also.”<\/p>\n

“THAT’S how you make a super bowl entrance,” another fan commented.<\/p>\n

“That’s a beautiful dress,” another social media user wrote.<\/p>\n

Does NBC pay Carrie Underwood?<\/p>\n

There have been rumors in the past about Underwood receiving millions of dollars to perform NBC’s intro for “Sunday Night Football.”<\/p>\n

Well, it turns out that’s not true.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo, it\u2019s pretty pro-bono,\u201d\u00a0Underwood told Howard Stern<\/a>. \u201cI wish [it was a high-paying job], that\u2019d be great. That would be awesome.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fans will get to see Underwood on NBC this Sunday at around 6:30 p.m. ET.<\/p>\n
