Another Sunday Night Football game is in the books.

The Miami Dolphins took down the New England Patriots to wrap up the second full Sunday of the 2023 season. Of course, no Sunday Night Football game is complete without Carrie Underwood.

The country music star kicks off the biggest game of the NFL week each and every Sunday night.

There is no replacing her.

According to reports, Underwood is making a pretty penny for her pregame efforts.

Now in her 10th season as the "Sunday NIght Football" performer, some have wondered how much the Grammy award-winning artist is paid. According to AllSportsFaq.com, she is paid approximately $1 million each week. Therefore, she totals about $18 million a season for her performances.

As one of the most famous country music artist of all time, there is clearly a big price tag to have her represent the sport.

Is it worth it?

"Good for her! if its true. Its a short gig. How much did Hank Williams Jr. Make?" one fan wrote.

"And the players can’t get paid correctly. The whole pay structure seems off here. Even espn is cleaning house in some regards and then overpaying elsewhere," one fan added.

"Most of the players don’t get that! Shameful!" one fan added.
