Carrie Underwood’s powerful soprano means something different to everyone. For gridiron enthusiasts, it means Sunday Night Football is back. For the past 11 years, NFL fans have waited months to hear, The NFL’s best have come to play / Coast to coast, just one thing left to say. The American Idol champ’s much-revered performance was missing from the 2024 playoff season—and its absence did not go unnoticed. Recently, Underwood performed “Waiting All Day For Sunday Night” for the first time live. This seems like good news for fans who missed the memorable anthem during playoffs, as it indicates she will return for a 12th straight season of Sunday Night Football.
