Chris Stapleton, Snoop Dogg, and Cindy Blackman Santana have joined forces to deliver a remarkable cover of Phil Collins’ classic hit, “In the Air Tonight,” as part of Monday Night Football. The song made its debut during the broadcast, and it’s already generating excitement among fans.
In a statement from ESPN, they highlighted the song’s historical connection to football, as it has been known to help players get in the zone and prepare for the big game.
Hines Ward of the Pittsburgh Steelers shared his thoughts on the song last year, saying:
“It was fascinating to me to see how one song could get you in that mode to go kick some tail.”
This collaboration between Chris Stapleton and Snoop Dogg is particularly exciting given their previous involvement in major football events.
Earlier this year, Stapleton delivered a stunning rendition of the National Anthem at Super Bowl LVII, while Snoop Dogg graced the stage as part of the Super Bowl LVI halftime show the previous year.

In addition to this exciting news, country superstar Carrie Underwood has also made headlines in the world of football entertainment.
Last week, she released her new intro video for Sunday Night Football. Her song “Waiting All Day for Sunday Night” drew inspiration from Joan Jett’s iconic track, “I Hate Myself for Loving You.” This marks Underwood’s 11th season performing on NBC’s Sunday evening NFL games, and she occasionally includes Jett’s “Bad Reputation” in her concert set lists.
Carrie Underwood expressed her enthusiasm for the upcoming season, saying:
“Once again, the incredible Sunday Night Football team came up with a fresh, exciting visual concept that really gave us a chance to play. I loved shooting the show open again this year at our home away from home, the Resorts World Theatre in Las Vegas, and can’t wait for another season of football!”
With Chris Stapleton, Snoop Dogg, and Cindy Blackman Santana’s rendition of “In the Air Tonight” adding a new dimension to football entertainment, and Carrie Underwood’s electrifying performances on Sunday Night Football, fans can look forward to an unforgettable season of football and music. The harmonious blend of these talented artists and the enduring power of iconic songs make the football experience all the more thrilling for fans across the nation.
