Sunday Night Football Singer 2015
Faith Hill’s “Waiting All Day for Sunday Night,” set to the tune of Joan Jett’s classic song, “I Hate Myself For Loving You,” has been the opening theme song for NBC’s Sunday night NFL football games for the past six years, according to USA Today. The torch has been passed! Last night, Carrie Underwood officially took over from Faith Hill as the singer of NBC’s Sunday Night Football opening theme. Hill, 45, first sang the theme song, “Waiting All Day for Sunday Night,” a version of Joan Jett ’s “I Hate Myself for Loving You” with rewritten lyrics, in 2007. Once again, every Sunday night during the 2015-2016 NFL season, football fans will be able to hear Carrie Underwood belting out the familiar words of “Waiting All Day for Sunday Night.” The country star is reprising her role for the third season and just filmed a new version of the theme song. Underwood first took over Sunday Night Football duties in 2013, from fellow country star Faith Hill, and was very glad to be asked back again last year. During her second year, Underwood filmed a special version of the theme song for the 2015 Super Bowl, called “Waiting All Day for a Super Bowl Fight.”. Underwood also filmed a special version of the theme song for the 2015 Super Bowl, called “Waiting All Day for a Super Bowl Fight.”. Fans can first see Underwood’s new version of the Sunday Night Football opening theme on Sept. 10, when the Pittsburgh Steelers take on the New England Patriots on NBC. Carrie Underwood, the well-known country singer from American Idol, has been scheduled to replace Faith Hill as the one who sings the theme, “Waiting All Day For Sunday Night.”. The game will be played at 8:30 on NBC, in order to kick-off the season of Sunday night football. When Sunday Night Football returns to NBC next month, country superstar Carrie Underwood will be joined by 11 NFL players for Waiting All Day for Sunday Night, the opening theme to the highly rated primetime program. Coverage begins with Football Night in America at 7:00 p.m. ET, and the opening theme continues each week of the season to kick off Sunday Night Football. A special opening theme, also featuring the singer, will be unveiled prior to NBC's broadcast of Super Bowl XLIX on February 1, 2015.
