Celine Dion celebrates Sunday Night Football in a new promo

Celine Dion's heart will continue – for football? The singer made a surprise appearance in a promo for Football on Sunday evenings last night, set to their song “It’s All Coming Back to Me Now.”

In the unexpected clip, Dion wore a vintage 1996 Super Bowl sweatshirt and reminisced about the past game between the Cowboys and Steelers. “I think what I like most about this game is the ability to connect with who we are and who we were,” Dion said. “To prove that our strongest 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.”

Speaking about the match footage, Dion continued: “Their love interest, maybe not Love The way I usually sing about it. But anyway, work with me here. I mean, “When you touch me like that, when you hold me like that”…that's kind of fitting, isn't it? But really, what a beautiful passion it produced. What a painful sorrow it revealed. So, so long ago. Like so many old flames, it always feels right when they're together again, don't you think? Like tonight, evoking the kind of magic they once created. The Cowboys and the Steelers, a timeless Sunday night classic.”

At the end of the video, Dion was doused with Gatorade alongside vintage footage of the teams' coaches. Certainly not something we had on our 2024 bingo card.

Dion's appearance in the NFL spot follows her appearance during the opening ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympics, where she performed Édith Piaf's famous song “Hymne à L'amour,” or “The Hymn to Love,” while under the The stadium was illuminated by six Olympic rings.

Dion's performance in Paris was a big moment for the singer after she announced in December 2022 that she had been diagnosed with stiff person syndrome. “I am honored to have performed at the opening ceremony of Paris 2024 tonight and am thrilled to be back in one of my favorite cities!” the singer wrote
