Celine Dion Debuts New Promo for Sunday Night Football

Channeling their best, “we come to this place for magic” hopes, NBC and Peacock unleashed a new promo for “Sunday Night Football” with Canadian siren Celine Dion. Because when fans think of football, they think of Deion (Sanders).

The singer appeared suddenly after the opening bars of her iconic song, “It’s All Coming Back to Me Now,” rang out during the broadcast. Dressed in a vintage 1996 Super Bowl sweatshirt, Dion recalled the legendary game when The Cowboys bested The Steelers, hyping tonight’s rematch.

“I think my favorite thing about this game is its power to connect who we are, to 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.”

While footage from the former matchup played, Dion continued to narrate, “Their love affair, well maybe not love the way I usually sing about it. But still, work with me here. I mean, ‘When you touch me like this, When you hold me like that’ … it kind of fits, no?”

“But really, what beautiful passion it produced. What painful heartbreak it revealed. So, so long ago,” the singer continued. “Like so many old flames, it always feels right when they’re back together, don’t you think? Like tonight, evoking the kind of magic they once produced. The Cowboys and the Steelers, a timeless classic on Sunday night.”

The Oscar winner was then doused with Gatorade. Fingers crossed, this promo gets us one step closer to Dion returning to her Vegas residency.

Dion’s epic last live performance at the 2024 Olympics opening ceremony stunned the world as she performed an astounding rendition of f Edith Piaf’s “Hymne A L’Amour” at the foot of the Eiffel Tower.

The singer captured the night belting out through the wind and rain on the world’s stage. This was her first performance since her diagnosis with Stiff Person Syndrome 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 that it feels “like somebody’s strangling you… it’s like somebody’s pushing your larynx, pharynx, this way.”
