Carrie Underwood is back, and this time, she’s making sure the start of the 2024 NFL season is one to remember. For the 12th consecutive year, Underwood opened Sunday Night Football (SNF) with her powerful voice and a brand-new rendition of the show’s signature theme song, “Waiting All Day for Sunday Night.” As fans tuned in to see the Los Angeles Rams face off against the Detroit Lions in Detroit’s Ford Field, it wasn’t just the game that had them excited—it was Underwood’s revamped anthem that stole the spotlight.

Since 2013, her voice has set the tone for what fans can expect on Sunday evenings, but in 2024, the creative team decided to shake things up.

This subtle change adds an extra surge of energy right from the start, making sure viewers are hyped for the action.
