“This year’s show open welcomes Sunday Night Football into my ongoing rock star fever dream,” Carrie shared in a news release obtained by People.
“I love this new version of the track and, once again, Tripp (Sunday Night Football show open creative director) and the incredible team behind the camera brought it to life in a whole new way that captures the spirit of this iconic song and the heart of rock ‘n’ roll. It’s one of my most favorite opens yet” Carrie added.
Carrie Underwood is a Huge Part of ‘Sunday Night Football’
Carrie Underwood has performed the opening for more than a decade, and producers loved mixing things up this year for Sunday Night Football.
“This season, we’ve drawn inspiration from Carrie’s deep, well-documented love of rock music – a perfect fit since our Sunday Night Football anthem was born from pure rock ‘n’ roll: Joan Jett and the Blackhearts’ ‘I Hate Myself for Loving You.’” Tripp Dixon shared in the news release.
Tripp added, “We’ve worked to match these two rock frequencies of past and present as they come together in Carrie’s high-energy performance. The greatest players and teams in the NFL will take it from there.”
Sunday Night Football begins on September 20 when the Dallas Cowboys face off against the New York Giants.
