SNL posted the football player’s performance to X, writng, “The Cowboys and the Steelers in a week 5 showdown! @carrieunderwood.”
Many football fans reacted to the post. One wrote, “My boys didn’t do too badly lol.” Another football fan said, “Carrie’s job is safe. Woof.” One more fan remarked, “A for effort, but no one can hold a candle to @carrieunderwood.”

In other Carrie news, Underwood and Cody Johnson’s new long-awaited duet “I’m Gonna Love You” is out.
The two stars took some time to talk about the first time they met, which was at a CMA Awards show.
In a video clip, Cody and Carrie are talking, and Underwood says, “So I think the first time we met was at an award show, and there’s always so much going on at those things, and everybody’s just coming and going. But I remember leaving that night just saying I really like that guy and I hope I watch him do great things.”
Cody added, “You know we’re around the same age, but I always grew up listening to your music, and I wondered what it would be like to be in that position. They say don’t meet your heroes because you might get disappointed. I was not disappointed. It’s really was a breath of fresh air to meet someone that has not been affected and really stayed grounded, and when I told my kids, my little girls, that I met Carrie Underwood, they forgot all about Cody Johnson.”
Cody posted the exchange on his Instagram writing, “A collab between us has been in the works for a long time. “I’m Gonna Love You” releases! Stay tuned, #COJONation and #CareBears.”
