ESPN has announced multi-platinum recording artist Saweetie will serve as the first-ever female music curator for "Monday Night Football."
Throughout the 2025-26 NFL season, she will hand-pick tracks for select "MNF" games, featured in promotional spots, live telecasts, and "Monday Night Countdown."
To kick things off, ESPN will bring the game-day energy to New York City with a one-day-only pop-up nail salon on September 6 at 21 Greene St. from Noon to 5 p.m. ET. Fans will have the chance to get game-inspired nail designs and gear up for the "MNF" season, which begins September 8, when the Minnesota Vikings face the Chicago Bears.
"Football has always been in my blood, so I'm beyond grateful to be the first female curator for Monday Night Football on ESPN," said Saweetie. "Pull up to the NYC pop-up on Sept. 6 and get icy—fresh nails included—before the NFL season kicks off."
Her track "Pressure" off her recently-released five-song EP Hella Pressure will be used in the Week 1 creative ahead of the Vikings - Bears game.
ESPN's "Monday Night Football" returns for the 2025 NFL season with the League's Biggest Stars, including Joe Buck, Troy Aikman, Lisa Salters and Laura Rutledge. ESPN's NFL schedule will feature 25 games, headlined by 21 "Monday Night Football" games, a Week 18 Doubleheader Saturday, a Monday night Wild Card and Divisional playoff game.
