Carrie Underwood

For the ninth straight year, the country singer has opened NBC's coverage with a video that finds her trading scenes with the NFL's biggest stars.

Clips of some of the NFL's biggest stars (Patrick Mahomes, Derrick Henry, Russell Wilson and more) are spread throughout the preview video

It'll be Underwood's ninth as the singer of the 'Sunday Night Football' theme.

Life isn't always a dream for a celebrity couple ...

Video from the show shows Underwood and Yoakam performing his 1983 hit "A Thousand Miles From Nowhere."

"It was kind of a last-minute thing ..."

Both sides of this former relationship are having trouble moving on — because they still love the other person.

Surprise!

When your head gives a song more spins than your local radio station, that song becomes what's called an "earworm."

On May 25, 2005, Underwood was crowned the 'American Idol' Season 4 champion.

May 25 has been a huge day in country music, historically.

He got her GOOD!
