Celine Dion, the 56-year-old iconic singer, made quite a splash during a live segment of NBC and Peacock’s Sunday Night Football, which aired in the United States on October 6. Fans were taken aback when two crew members drenched her with Gatorade.
The Canadian superstar has recently begun to make more public appearances after her diagnosis of Stiff Person Syndrome. Her unexpected appearance coincided with the opening ceremony of the game featuring the Dallas Cowboys and Pittsburgh Steelers.
This memorable moment of Dion being soaked in Gatorade sent fans into a frenzy on social media. Here are some of the most notable reactions from X, previously known as Twitter:
One enthusiastic user wrote:
“Yasss! Celine at a football game? That’s incredible 😂 I’ve got to check this out! She’s truly a queen 👑.”
“Celine is amazing; she makes getting doused with Gatorade look fabulous!”another fan exclaimed.
“LOL I love her! Céline is such a great sport!”a Twitter user shared.
Fans continued to express their admiration through various tweets. One supporter commented:
“Celine, you are incredible! ❤️❤️”
“Legendary 🫶🏻,”followed another fan on X.
“FOREVER RELEVANT #celinedion,”another user remarked.
“I believe the most wonderful aspect of this game is how it connects our past to our present,”Celine Dion said during her speech
“What I love most about this game is its ability to link who we are to who we were, reminding us that our most cherished memories and enduring passions can remain with us indefinitely. You know what I’m saying, right?”
As her renowned track “It’s All Coming Back To Me Now”played in the background, she further expressed:
“At times, on certain nights, it all truly resurfaces. The love affair. Though maybe not ‘love’ in the way I usually sing about… but, you get where I’m going.”
She characterized the teams competing that day as “a timeless classic.”According to US Weekly, her Gatorade-soaked moment humorously mimicked the traditional coaching moment when players typically drench their coach after a game.
Demonstrating her fantastic sense of humor and affection for the game, Celine took the shower in stride, smiling and fist-pumping in celebration.
This exciting appearance came right after she performed at the opening ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympics, where she expressed how honored she felt to have the opportunity to perform, marking her first Olympic performance in four years.
Since being diagnosed with Stiff Person Syndrome in 2022, she has undergone extensive treatment, which led her to cancel several performances and appearances.
Fans have shown tremendous support and admiration following her surprising appearance and touching speech.
