\n\tCarrie Underwood<\/a> is ready to rock this <\/em>season. The country singer has opened the show for 14 consecutive years, but will lean deeper into the rock side of the SNF <\/em>theme song, \u201cWaiting All Day for Sunday Night.\u201d In its place, Underwood will tear through the reworked version of Joan Jett and the Blackhearts\u2019 \u201cI Hate Myself for Loving You\u201d when the show premieres on Sept. 13 on NBC and Peacock.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThis year\u2019s show open welcomes Sunday Night Football into my ongoing rock star fever dream,\u201d Underwood said in a statement. \u201cI love this new version of the track and, once again, Tripp 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 & roll. It\u2019s one of my most favorite opens yet.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tFor the open, Underwood performed an energetic set at an intimate venue. The crowd rocked along as she commanded the stage with her band. Tripp Dixon, who has helmed 14 years worth of Sunday Night Football <\/em>show opens as creative director, said this season\u2019s performance drew \u201cinspiration from Carrie\u2019s deep, well-documented love of rock music \u2013 a perfect fit since our Sunday Night Football anthem was born from pure rock & roll.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tTo set the tone for the season, Dixon continued, \u201cwe\u2019ve worked to match these two rock frequencies of past and present as they come together in Carrie\u2019s high-energy performance. The greatest players and teams in the NFL will take it from there.\u201d<\/p>\n
