Carrie Underwood’s ‘Sunday Night Football’ Gig Pays How Much?!

Carrie Underwood allegedly scores a NFL player-level payday every Sunday night during football season.

Underwood has been the voice behind the Sunday Night Football theme song since 2013, and she's probably wanting to hold onto that gig. According to SportsKeeda.com, she's paid a cool $1 million each week!

The country star sings a reworked version of "Waiting All Day for Sunday Night," which is based on Joan Jett's "I Hate Myself for Loving You." This performance has been a major highlight of NFL broadcasting, continuing a legacy started by another country staple, Faith Hill.

While exact figures on how much Underwood makes per the theme song airing aren't publicly disclosed, reports suggest that singers involved in high-profile network deals like this often earn millions annually. Given Underwood's star power and long-standing association with the NFL, it's reasonable to assume she is well-compensated and receiving substantial payments each year.

Every week, the specific teams are named in the song, so she had to do some extra work to personalize the track. If you believe the reports, Underwood has earned an estimated $180 million dollars to date.

That is quarterback kind of payday, but hey, it is Carrie Underwood!
