Watch Celine Dion get dipped in Gatorade as she narrates the exciting ‘Sunday Night Football’ promotional video

Celine Dion has shared a new promotional package for Sunday evening Footballll, in which she is doused in Gatorade – watch the clip below.

The legendary singer-songwriter – a longtime football fan – 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 postponed several hours due to inclement weather.

In the video, Celine Dion wears a 1996 Super Bowl sweatshirt, which reminisces about the iconic rivalry between the two teams throughout history. As her song ‘It’s All Coming Back To Me Now’ plays in the background, she says: “I think the best thing about this game is the power to connect who we are, with 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 the love I usually sing about it. But still, work with me here. I mean, ‘When you touch me like this / When you hold me like this … it fits, right?”

“But really, what a beautiful passion it generated. What a painful heartbreak that showed. So, so long ago,” the singer concluded. ‘Like so many old flames, it always feels good when they’re back together, don’t you think? Like tonight, conjuring up the kind of magic they once produced. The Cowboys and the Steelers, a timeless classic on Sunday evening.”

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

Dion is not just a football fan; she recently made her long-awaited and highly anticipated return to perform at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, marking her first appearance in four years.

She previously last performed in New York in 2020, and subsequently announced that she suffers from Stiff Person Syndrome (SPS). Dion was due to embark on a world tour last year but was forced to cancel all planned dates due to her condition, which affects the brain and spinal cord and causes muscle stiffness, postural problems, sensory problems and painful spasms.

Dion has been unflinchingly open about its influence on her voice in her documentary, I am: Celine Dionto documentary makers: “I can’t use my voice yet,” crying as she admitted: “Music… I miss it very much. But also: the people. I miss them.”
