Recently a rumor was going around that Carrie Underwood was taking home a hefty $1-million paycheck per week for being the singing voice for NBC’s “Sunday Night Football.”A post from the popular X account “MLFootball” read: “BREAKING: Carrie Underwood is paid ONE MILLION DOLLARS EACH WEEK to do the Sunday Night Football theme song. She films all of it in one day & got paid 18-million dollars for that, per reports.” The post is actually a year old, but began circulating again at the start of the new NFL season. So…true or false? The actual amount Underwood makes from the high-profile gig remains unknown, though some digging shows she’s shot down that total in the past. Back in 2023, Howard Stern asked about it on his show. “The money ain’t bad. Is it true it’s 18-million dollars a year?” Underwood nipped that in the bud (or so she thought at the time). “For me?! No!” Underwood responded. “It’s pretty pro-bono,” adding, “I wish! That’d be great.”
