Carrie Underwood Didn't Open the Thanksgiving Football Game & Fans Are Sad About It
Fans who watched NBC’s special Thanksgiving Day football coverage were sad to find out that Carrie Underwood‘s opening intro for Sunday Night Football was not used for the game.
Instead, Zac Brown Band opened the game with a special version of their song “Chicken Fried,” which was appropriately changed to “Turkey Fried.”
Carrie used to do a special holiday performance for NBC’s Thanksgiving coverage, but they previously revealed that she would be taking the holiday off this year.
“Hey America. It’s Zac Brown here with the Zac Brown Band. We’re getting set up for the perfect Thanksgiving,” Zac said in a promo. “We’ve got food, we’ve got family, we’ve got football, and we’ve got our guitars. Because we’re getting ready to cook up a little tune for everyone to jam to.”

"Turkey Fried" intro on NBC was an excellent change of pace, but an off day for Carrie Underwood is still a disappointment. Happy Thanksgiving y'all! 🦃
