Carrie Underwood made her triumphant return to NBC’s Sunday Night Football, kicking off the matchup between the Dallas Cowboys and the New York Giants with an all-new show open on Sunday evening (Sept. 10).
The dazzling opening included the eight-time GRAMMY winner performing an updated rendition of “Waiting All Day for Sunday Night,” a play on Joan Jett’s 1988 hit, “I Hate Myself For Loving You.”
The video opens with Underwood being lowered down onto the stage from above. Donning a black metallic bodysuit, the CMA Entertainer of the Year nominee commanded the stage as she belted out the lyrics to the SNF anthem.

Ahead of the debut of the show opening, Underwood and SNF teased that it would feature a “surprise new element,” which appears to be an epic drum solo by Underwood herself. Later, she tosses the mic into the audience and shows off her drum skills on a CU-branded drum kit that fans first saw on her Denim & Rhinestones Tour earlier this year.
The performance clips of Underwood were filmed at Resorts World Theatre in Las Vegas and were interspersed throughout the video, which also included augmented reality highlights displayed across a halo scoreboard.
11th Consecutive Season

Following the tour, Carrie Underwood announced plans to launch her very own SiriusXM Channel, CARRIE’S COUNTRY.
