Carrie Underwood is facing a fresh wave of NFL fan backlash just as the new season gets under way, after her performances for President Trump sparked calls for NBC to find a replacement. Since 2013, her musical numbers have become a staple for millions of American football supporters tuning into Sunday Night Football. 'This year's show open welcomes Sunday Night Football into my ongoing rock star fever dream,' Underwood noted in a statement via NBC. Underwood has faced some scrutiny in recent years, performing for President Trump, among other things. However, despite fans calling for change, it sounds like NBC will be sticking with Carrie Underwood, whether fans like it or not.
