Celine Dion surprised fans by getting soaked with Gatorade on Sunday.
The 56-year-old singer — who recently blasted Donald Trump for using her songs at a campaign rally without permission — had the orange sports drink poured on her during a surprise Sunday Night Football intro appearance.
She referenced her song It’s All Coming Back to Me Now while discussing her ‘passion’ for the Dallas Cowboys and Pittsburgh Steelers rivalry while rocking a Super Bowl XXX sweater.
‘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?’ she said as her 1996 hit played.
‘Sometimes, some nights, it all just comes back,’ she added. ‘The love affair. Well, maybe not “love” the way I usually sing about it. But still… work with me here.’

Comparing the song to her emotional ties to the sport she said: ‘I mean, “When you touch me like this, when you hold me like that.” It kinda fits, no?’
‘But really, what beautiful passion it produced, what painful heartbreak it revealed, so, so long ago. Like so many old flames, it always feels right when they’re back together. Don’t you think?’
The Dallas Cowboys and Pittsburgh Steelers rivalry has been alive since 1976 when the Steelers beat the Cowboys (21-17) during Super Bowl X and Super Bowl XIII (35-31) in 1979.
But in 1996, the Cowboys reigned supreme in Super Bowl XXX, beating the Steelers 27-17.
‘Like tonight, evoking the kind of magic they once produced. The Cowboys and the Steelers, a timeless classic on Sunday Night,’ the My Heart Will Go On singer said.
Later in the video fans get a glimpse of Dion appearing surprised as she got coolers full of Gatorade poured on her.
She was also shown cheering and reveling in the moment while sporting her soaked sweatshirt as liquid dripped off her face.
Earlier on Sunday, the NBC Sports teased her appearance by sharing a clip of the songstress donning the Superbowl sweatshirt on their Tiktok account.
They penned in the caption of the teaser clip: ‘It’s all coming back to Sunday night.’
