Watch: Joan Jett joins Carrie Underwood for ‘Sunday Night Football’ theme filmed at Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium

Not only is this year's "Sunday Night Football" opening theme the first to be filmed in a stadium – Atlanta's own Mercedes-Benz Stadium – but music fans will also finally see the rocker behind the familiar song.

“Waiting All Day for Sunday Night” – performed by powerhouse country star Carrie Underwood for seven years – is taken from Joan Jett & The Blackhearts’ 1988 stomper, “I Hate Myself for Loving You.”

In this year’s production, which will debut ahead of the Sept. 8 Patriots-Steelers “Sunday Night Football” opener, Jett appears with Underwood, striking her guitar in that inimitable Jett style. (Jett also performed with Underwood during the CMA Fest in Nashville in June.)
