“It has backstage and behind the scenes energy to set the tone for this special night,” he added.

“Shooting the new show open is always something I look forward to,” she said.
“Tripp and the whole creative team brought it yet again.
“We had a great day putting on an exciting new performance.
“Like everybody else, I’m waiting all day for Sunday night!”
NFL fans have fallen in love with Underwood so much, they’ve begged her to do the Super Bowl Halftime Show.
They demanded she perform in the future, following the debut release of the SNF hit.

One social media user said: “Can you please do the halftime show?”

And a third said: “Been waiting for this moment, during all the off season. We’re so back.”
