Celine Dion has proved she’s one incredible sport. Dion, 56, surprised NFL fans by appearing in a pre-recorded video at the beginning of NBC’s Sunday Night Football on Sunday, October 6.

The introductory video, posted via NFL on NBC’s YouTube channel after it aired on Sunday night, saw Dion speaking to the camera while dressed in a Super Bowl jersey commemorating the rivalry between the Dallas Cowboys and Pittsburgh Steelers. The teams, who played one another on Sunday night, were the focus of a passionate speech from Dion. “I think my favorite thing about this game is its power to connect who we are to who we were, to prove our most powerful memories, our most enduring loves can stay with us forever.
You know what I’m talking about, right?” Dion told the camera as her 1996 track, “It’s All Coming Back to Me Now” played in the background. “Sometimes, some nights, it all just comes back. The love affair.
