Carrie Underwood, the Grammy-winning country singer, has been the face and voice of the NBC Sunday Night Football theme song for over a decade. However, she initially turned down the opportunity when it was first offered to her in 2006, citing it wasn’t the right time in her life. After a brief stint with Pink and Faith Hill, Underwood was approached again, and she accepted. Since then, she has recorded a new version of the theme song and filmed a corresponding video each year.
This year’s version of the theme song has been revamped, with a unique and exciting approach that includes starting with the chorus, which was a departure from the previous versions. Underwood, who is a mother of two sons, is excited for her children to see her on TV and has become a familiar face to many younger viewers through her involvement with Sunday Night Football.
The Sunday Night Football season begins on September 8, with the game between the Los Angeles Rams and the Detroit Lions airing on NBC at 8:20 pm ET. Underwood’s involvement with the theme song has been a significant part of the show’s success, attracting millions of viewers each week. Her dedication to the role and the unique approach to this year’s theme song promises an exciting viewing experience for fans of both football and music.
