Carrie Underwood Rocks SNF Return | Country Music News

Carrie Underwood is back for her 14th season of Sunday Night Football, bringing a rock-infused new version of “Waiting All Day for Sunday Night” — a bold remake of Joan Jett’s classic. The performance, blending studio grit, intimate venues, and stadium energy, premieres September 13th as the Dallas Cowboys take on the New York Giants. With an estimated $1M per week paycheck, this high-profile gig adds to her already packed schedule as an American Idol judge since 2025. Since winning American Idol in 2005, she’s redefined country music with chart-topping albums, global tours, and now, a legendary NFL tradition that began with Pink and continued through Faith Hill — all while staying true to her signature powerhouse sound.
