Not only does Underwood often cover Aaliyah's songs, but her dream is to play the late singer in a biopic. "I would absolutely love to play Aaliyah if they ever do another Aaliyah story," she told "Teen Vogue." "That's at the top of my list."
In 2020, she told "Interview" magazine that she was currently in talks with some people about getting the project made. "I'm trying to get an Aaliyah biopic made, but a proper one, and see if we can get the family's permission and get all the rights to all the music," she revealed.
