The legendary singer-songwriter – a longtime fan of football – narrated Sunday Night Football’s opening promotional package ahead of the Dallas Cowboys vs Pittsburgh Steelers game, which the Cowboys won after the game was delayed for several hours due to harsh weather conditions.

In the video, Celine Dion sports a 1996 Super Bowl sweatshirt will reminiscing about the iconic rivalry between the two teams throughout history. She narrates as her song ‘It’s All Coming Back To Me Now’ plays in the background: “I think my favourite thing about this game is its power to connect who we are, to who we were. 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.”

She continues: “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 concluded. “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.”

At the end of the video, reflecting montages of the teams’ coaches getting doused in sports drinks, Celine Dion is similarly drenched in Gatorade as she cheers.

Dion isn’t just a fan of football – she recently made her long-awaited and highly anticipated return to perform at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, marking her first performance in four years.

She previously last performed in New York in 2020, and afterwards revealed that she suffers from stiff person syndrome (SPS). Dion was set to embark on a world tour last year, but was forced to axe all scheduled dates due to her condition, which affects the brain and spinal cord, causing muscle stiffness, posture problems, sensory issues, as well as painful spasms.

Dion has been unflinching open about its affect on her voice in her documentary, I Am: Celine Dion, telling documentarians: “I can’t use my voice yet,” crying as she admitted: “Music… I miss it a lot. But also, the people. I miss them.”
