GLOBAL ICON SHANIA TWAIN TO PERFORM A MEDLEY OF HER GREATEST HITS AT THE ‘2019 AMERICAN MUSIC AWARDS®,’ AIRING LIVE SUNDAY, NOV. 24, ON ABC

The Five-Time American Music Award Winner Will Take the AMA Stage for the First Time in 16 Years

ABC press release | November 11, 2019

dick clark productions and ABC announced today that five-time American Music Awards® winner and the top-selling female country artist of all time, Shania Twain, will take the stage at the “2019 American Music Awards” to perform a medley of her greatest hits. The performance will mark Twain’s return to the American Music Awards stage for the first time since 2003.

The global superstar, who kicks off Shania Twain “Let’s Go!” The Vegas Residency at Zappos Theater at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino on Friday, Dec. 6, joins previously announced performers Camila Cabello, Billie Eilish, Selena Gomez, Dua Lipa, Lizzo and Thomas Rhett, as well as Taylor Swift, the “2019 American Music Awards” Artist of the Decade award recipient. The “2019 American Music Awards” will broadcast live from the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles on Sunday, Nov. 24, at 8:00 p.m. EST on ABC. 

The American Music Awards is where the world’s biggest artists and pop-culture icons come together to honor idols, newcomers and record-breakers in the contemporary music scene. As the decade comes to a close, this year’s show celebrates the past 10 years with some of the best moments in music and live performances from the biggest names in the industry. From Pop and Rock to Country, Hip Hop and beyond, it only happens here.

Twain is a five-time GRAMMY® winner and the reigning Queen of Country Pop. With more than 90 million albums sold worldwide and U.S. sales topping 34.5 million, Twain remains the top-selling female country artist of all time. Twain’s albums include “Shania Twain,” Twain’s platinum-selling 1993 debut; “The Woman in Me,” her GRAMMY Award-winning, double diamond-selling 1995 release; “Come On Over,” the bestselling studio album in Soundscan history by a female artist in any genre and the bestselling country album of all time with over 40 million units sold worldwide; and “UP!,” Twain’s third consecutive diamond-selling album release.

Recognizing her indelible impact and achievements in music, Twain is the first and only female to receive CMT’s Artist of a Lifetime Award, and she recently received the Icon Award at Billboard’s Women in Music ceremony. Twain’s hits include “Any Man of Mine,” “That Don’t Impress Me Much,” “You’re Still the One” and “Man! I Feel Like A Woman!” Twain’s first album in 15 years, “NOW,” was released in September 2017 and debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Top 200 albums, making it the first female country release in over three years to top the all-genre chart. Additionally, the album landed at No. 1 on the Billboard Top Country album charts and went to No. 1 in Canada, Australia and the U.K. The release of the album was followed by a year-long sold-out world tour. 

American Music Awards nominees are based on key fan interactions as reflected on Billboard.com, including streaming, album and digital song sales, radio airplay, social activity, and touring. These measurements are tracked by Billboard and its data partners, including Nielsen Music and Next Big Sound, and reflect the time period of Sept. 28, 2018 through Sept. 26, 2019.

Yeah, it'll be great to see her perform at an awards show again instead of just presenting an award.

Shania Twain supports Taylor Swift before AMAs: It's 'ridiculous' for artists not to own their music

By Patrick Ryan | USA TODAY | November 21, 2019

Shania Twain has one wish for this weekend's American Music Awards.

"I hope I get a hug in with Post Malone – that would be really great," Twain says of the "Sunflower" singer/rapper, who leads this year's honorees with seven nominations. "Just a quick hug and 'congratulations.' I love him, and I've been such a big fan for a long time."

Plenty of people will similarly be fangirling when Twain takes the stage at Sunday's AMAs, airing live from Los Angeles' Microsoft Theater on ABC (8 p.m. EST/PST). The country-pop icon is set to perform a career-spanning medley of her best-known songs, having crossed over into mainstream Top 40 in the late 1990s with hits including "You're Still the One," "From This Moment On" and "That Don't Impress Me Much."

Twain's AMAs appearance tees up her Las Vegas return with "Let's Go!," which begins at the Zappos Theater at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino on Dec. 6. The 23-date residency is the singer's second Vegas stint after "Shania: Still the One," which ended its two-year run in 2014.

The new concerts are akin to a "giant party," she says. "It's a very interactive show. The graphics are awesome, there are lots of costume changes – I'm having a blast with the fashion."

Twain, 54, talks to USA TODAY about her upcoming performances and shares her thoughts on Taylor Swift's recent legal battle and the lack of women on country radio.

Question: What can you tell us about your AMAs medley?

Shania Twain: It's eight songs altogether, from top to bottom. I'm starting off with a mashup of my favorite current (songs) that are not my own, and that will lead into "You're Still the One." I'm going to do that whole section alone, just me, my guitar and a microphone. Then I'm going to break into a few of my hits that everybody knows and can sing along with. I'm a fan of doing the classics: Those are the moments that bring us all together and I never get bored of that.

Q: Who else are you excited to meet or see at the show?

Twain: I hope I get to say hi to Taylor (Swift), and give Lizzo a hug, too. There's a lot of wonderful artists right now; I'm really loving music in this time. It's become more diverse than I've seen in a long time, and it seems there's more freedom of expression. I'm feeling very energized by the talent around me.

Q: Are you a fan of Billie Eilish? She's up for six AMAs and is also performing.

Twain: Oh, yes, what a great talent. She's so young, and her and her brother (songwriter/producer Finneas O'Connell) are an incredible team. They remind me of The Carpenters, in terms of how in tune that brother and sister (Karen and Richard Carpenter) were. There's almost a telepathy that nobody can even explain in how that music develops between siblings, and they must be experiencing that to some degree. It's so unique, and she's got great style.

Q: Taylor Swift said last Thursday that her former record label, Big Machine Label Group, was barring her from performing her past hits at the AMAs, although she has since been granted permission. What did you make of the dispute?

Twain: I don't know a lot about the details of that, but I'm a big supporter of Taylor. I think she's just incredibly brilliant. I haven't had a chance to talk to her about it and I don't really know where everybody is coming from, but I'll always support the artist and their access to their own music. It seems a bit ridiculous to not have that.

Q: Last week's CMA Awards celebrated women in country music. Who are some of your favorite female artists in the genre right now?

Twain: I love Little Big Town, I think they're so incredibly talented. There's a lot of good female talent out there, and they've been more vocal about the resistance at radio to include them more equally in airplay. I'm hoping that does start to make a change because there are many female artists with strong songs that belong in the Top 40 on country radio that are just not there.

It's very ageist as well. I don't hear Reba (McEntire) on the radio anymore; I don't hear Patty Loveless on the radio anymore. I don't hear Shania Twain on the radio anymore in country! So that's got to change, too. Thankfully with technology, we do have other outlets of getting our music out there and radio isn't the end all be all of somebody's success today. But it's very frustrating and it's a disservice not only to the artist, but to the public, that they can't turn on the radio and hear all the best music that's being made right now.

Q: "Let's Go!" starts in just a couple of weeks. Why did now feel like the right time to return to Vegas?

Twain: I've done a bit of acting and two international tours since (2014), so I feel like I'm ready to settle a little bit again. My son is 18 now, so I feel like I can dive more into playing with my horses and my dogs and enjoy nesting in Las Vegas. The Strip is, of course, fun and crazy, but there are some gorgeous, tranquil small communities right off the Strip. So the contrast is perfect for me: I get to do my shows at night and then go back to my little farm.

Q: Did you get good at gambling during your last residency?

Twain: (Laughs.) I like to watch other people gamble, it's a lot of fun. But I'm more into the entertainment: I love the hockey, the rodeo, the wrestling, and the other shows. I saw (Lady Gaga's "Enigma"), which was wonderful, and I just saw Madonna the other night, which was really cool.

Post Malone talks Shania Twain crush, country music aspirations, and working with Ozzy

By Lyndsey Parker | Yahoo Music | January 29, 2020

In his new commercial for Doritos, Post Malone rocks a lime-green rhinestone-cowboy getup as his alter ego, Post Limón. It’s a look he wears well, and it turns out the genre-blurring superstar is a big country music fan.

That explains why, at the recent American Music Awards, he could be spotted in viral audience footage adorably and totally unironically singing along to Shania Twain’s greatest-hits finale number, looking like he was living his best life — especially during "Man! I Feel Like a Woman.”

“That's an absolute banger of a song. Me and my mom would always sing that in the car going to school,” says Post, who confesses that he’s “most certainly” had a crush on Twain since he was 6 years old. “I've been a Shania Twain fan for a long time.”

Twain actually paid homage to Post that AMAs evening, kicking off her buzzy performance with an acoustic medley that included his hit "Rockstar" (along with twenty one pilots' "Stressed Out," Taylor Swift's "Shake It Off," and Drake's "God's Plan"). “I thought was really, really, really awesome. I was so honored that she just threw it into the compilation a little bit,” gushes Post. “One of my managers told me, ‘Hey, Shania wants to cover one of your songs tonight,’ and I was so, so ecstatic and excited.”

And Post just might return the favor. When asked if he’d ever consider doing his own remake of “Man! I Feel Like a Woman,” he tells Yahoo Entertainment, “I would love to! I don't see why not. I think it sounds like a good time. I'd pick up the band and do a nice big cover with it. I want a whole horn section and everything, like a 30-piece band, and we'll just rock out.”

Twain has also revealed that she already has a song in mind for a collaboration with Malone, so watch this space.

Post, who’s collaborated with everyone from Justin Bieber to Kanye West to Ozzy Osbourne but has “always loved old-school Nudie suits and Hank Sr.-type country music,” isn’t opposed to doing a full country album on his own one day. “I don't see why I wouldn't mess around and mash something together, and just have fun with it,” he says. “I make a bunch of different songs, some of which that will never come out, just for fun. I’ve made some country songs, some rock songs… you never know whenever I might get some inspiration and just say, ‘Hey, let's put this out now.’”

As for Ozzy, it's that above-mentioned collaboration, on “Take What You Want,” that returned the 71-year-old metal legend to the Billboard charts. (It peaked on the Hot 100 at No. 8, making it Osbourne's first top 10 single since his 1988 duet with Lita Ford, "Close My Eyes Forever.”) The experience was so enjoyable for Osbourne, it became the catalyst for the rocker’s first album in a decade, Ordinary Man, which will feature another Ozzy/Post duet.

“It was really an honor to work with Ozzy,” says Post, who was unaware at the time that Osbourne had Parkinson’s disease. (Osbourne announced his diagnosis last week.) “He had difficulty standing, so every time we performed, like on [the American Music Awards] and at my show at the Forum, we got him a cool throne. But he's so strong, you couldn't tell. He has such a strong will, and he's such a nice, funny guy, and whenever you shake his hand, he's very deliberate, very strong. So I couldn't tell; he looked good to me. And I'm excited for him to put out this [Ordinary Man] record, because I know he's really excited and really passionate about it. He's a strong guy, and it's really cool to work with him and be a part of everything.”

As for all those memeworthy, viral Twitter posts from young, uneducated fans who seemed to think Ozzy was some unknown rocker getting his first big break from Post Malone, Post chuckles and has a feeling they were just trolling. “If it was a joke, it's hilarious. If it wasn't a joke, it's still hilarious! I don't know, people are funny on the internet, so I don't know if they were joking or not. But mark my words: You'll be hearing more from this Ozzy Osbourne kid!”
