The whole NFL community is Waiting All Day for Sunday Night. But guess who is waiting more eagerly than all of us? That’s correct, Carrie Underwood. She is the winner of American Idol Season 4 and, as everyone knows, the performer of the NFL theme song. It is well known that she is a masterclass and in her own tier of excellence, which is why thousands of us fans gather every Sunday to hear her voice at the start of ‘Sunday Night Football.’

Carrie Underwood receives a lot of attention for all of her performances as the entire NFL world adores her and is fascinated by her. Although everyone is aware that the performer is normally on stage for one minute, the curiosity is how much she gets paid for that. Don’t tell us this has never entered your thoughts. If it hasn’t crossed your mind maybe now it did. So let’s take a look at Underwood’s earnings from the NFL.

Is Carrie Underwood getting paid in millions for her SNF performances?

Well, yes, she is actually getting paid in millions. But if we talk exact numbers the singer earns $1 million for every SNF performance. This means that she will walk home with about $18 million after 18 weeks of the season. Woah! Now that’s a lot of money. This salary for one minute every week demonstrates how successful she is in the industry and how much the NFL adores her.

While these are excellent stats for the singer, you will be surprised that she makes other NFL members envious. Confused? Actually, we’re talking about guys who give their all on the field, the NFL players. The shocking element is that Carrie Underwood is earning far more than most NFL players. And we’re not talking about minor ones here, but rather huge team players. But who all? Let’s have a look at it also.

The NFL theme song singer is making more than star TE Travis Kelce

A stunner that sprang out of nowhere and smacked all of us in the face. But yes, that is real. MLFootball just exposed this in a tweet, where they identified all the players that get paid far less than Underwood. Christian McCaffrey, Saquon Barkley, CJ Stroud, Mike Evans, Joey Bosa, and other notable players were in attendance. But the name that startled everyone was Travis Kelce.

The TE was at the top of this list, but how much of his annual income is less than Carrie Underwood’s? For those who are unaware, the TE currently has a two-year deal with the Chiefs. According to the deal, $17,000,000 is guaranteed to him, with an average yearly pay of $17,125,000. This is quite a bit, but not more than the singer who gives only a minute performance every week.

What are your opinions on all of this? Do you believe the players deserve to be paid more?
