Celine Dion makes a surprise appearance on Sunday Night Football.

After an unforgettable visit to the City of Light for the Paris Olympics, Céline Dion entertains sports fans in the Steel City.

The five-time Grammy winner made a surprise appearance back in time to 1996 with one of her most famous hits and a Super Bowl XXX sweatshirt Football on Sunday eveningsis the opening sequence of the game between the Dallas Cowboys and Pittsburgh Steelers airing on NBC and streaming on Peacock.

“I think what I like most about this game is its ability to connect us with who we were and prove that our strongest memories and our most enduring loves can stay with us forever.” You know, what I’m talking about, right?” It began when her 1996 power ballad “It’s All Coming Back to Me Now” was played.

“Sometimes, some nights, it all just comes back,” Dion added. “The love affair. Well, maybe not “love” as I usually sing about it. But still… work with me here.

“I’m like, ‘When you touch me like that, when you hold me like that.’ It’s kind of fitting, right? But really, what a beautiful passion it birthed, what a painful sorrow it revealed, so, so long ago. Like so many old flames, it always feels right when they’re back together. Don’t you think so?”

Sunday’s NFL game marks the Cowboys and Steelers’ first primetime showdown since 1982 and their first time on NBC since Super Bowl XXX in 1996, which the Cowboys won 27-17. The Steelers triumphed over Dallas in Super Bowl X in 1976 (21-17) and Super Bowl XIII in 1979 (35-31).

“Like tonight, to bring forth the kind of magic they once did. “The Cowboys and the Steelers, a timeless Sunday night classic,” Dion concluded.

Dion had her coach moment in the clip when she was sprayed with a cooler full of Gatorade.

The Canadian pop icon’s NFL appearance comes after she performed “Hymne à l’amour” from the Eiffel Tower at the opening ceremony of the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris.
