Celine Dion introduces new promo for Sunday Night Football
NBC and Peacock released their best hope, “we come to this place for magic,” and launched a new promo for “Sunday Night Football” featuring Canadian siren Celine Dion. Because when fans think of football, they think of Deion (Sanders).
The singer suddenly appeared after the opening bars of her iconic song ‘It’s All Coming Back to Me Now’ sounded during the broadcast. Dressed in a vintage 1996 Super Bowl sweatshirt, Dion recalled the legendary game when The Cowboys defeated The Steelers to hype up tonight’s rematch.
“I think the best thing about this game is the power to connect who we are, who we were.” Dion said. “To prove that our most powerful memories, our most enduring loves, can stay with us forever. You know what I’m talking about, right? Sometimes, some nights, it all just comes back.”
As footage from the previous match played, Dion continued: ‘Their love affair, well, maybe not Love as I usually sing about it. But still, work with me here. I mean, ‘When you touch me like this, when you hold me like this’… it fits, doesn’t it?’
“But really, what a beautiful passion it generated. What a painful heartbreak that showed. So, so long ago,” the singer continued. ‘Like so many old flames, it always feels good when they’re back together, don’t you think? Like tonight, conjuring up the kind of magic they once produced. The Cowboys and the Steelers, a timeless classic on Sunday evening.”
The Oscar winner was then doused in Gatorade. Fingers crossed, this promo brings us one step closer to Dion’s return to her Vegas residency.
Dion’s epic final live performance at the opening ceremony of the 2024 Olympic Games stunned the world when she performed an astonishing rendition of Edith Piaf’s “Hymne A L’Amour” at the foot of the Eiffel Tower.
The singer captured the night as he blasted through the wind and rain onto the world stage. This was her first performance since her Stiff Person Syndrome diagnosis in December 2022, which forced her to step out of the spotlight.
In an interview with Hoda Kotb in June, Dion shared how Stiff Person Syndrome affects her singing voice, saying it feels “like someone is strangling you… it’s like someone is pushing your larynx, pharynx, this way.”
