“One of my Favorite parts of SNF!!!,” one fan quipped.
But not everyone was focused on celebrating the eight-time Grammy winner’s return. Instead, several commenters began campaigning for rising country singer Ella Langley, suggesting the “Choosin’ Texas” singer should eventually take over the role.
“Can We get a @ellalangleymusic Sunday Night Football Anthem 🤷🏻♂️ Just a thought,” one follower wrote.
