Magic hour in Dallas and the light was beautiful. Feeling cute in this jacket #dickiesarena gifted me - That good ol’ Texas charm! | greedy - Tate McRae
What a kick-ass night in Knoxville, the crowd felt like old friends - which is just as well because it’s scary getting up onstage in front of so many people… and it doesn’t get any easier even when you’ve done it 1000x times 😂 Raleigh, you’re up… see you tonight! 🤠
Let's go, girls: Shania Twain puts some 'up' in Raleigh's 'giddy'
By Emily Vespa | Technician - NC State's student newspaper | October 19, 2023
Mother-daughter duos, couples, friend groups and fans of all ages donned glitter, fringe and light-up cowboy hats to watch country-pop star Shania Twain shine at PNC Arena.
Twain’s interactions with fans during the set and her lively stage performance made the show — which marked her fourth stop on the second leg of her 2023 “Queen of Me” tour, her first tour in nearly five years — memorable.
“I could meet you guys all night,” Twain said. “I’m having so much fun. It’s my favorite thing to do, is meet you guys.”
And meet her fans Twain did. She brought over a dozen crowd members on stage throughout the night to take pictures together, sing fan-favorite deep cuts and even do a gender reveal.
One fan she brought on stage told Twain his first concert at age three was hers, and together, the two belted the lyrics to his favorite song, “You Win My Love” into the microphone, which she said she hasn't performed in a while.
While she took a moment to momentarily pare down her performance on a stool with her guitar, Twain riffed what she called “cool anthem” for the City of Oaks, which she led the crowd in singing several times: “Raleigh, North Carolina, I’m glad to find you here tonight/You are in my heart, you’ll be in my soul/Raleigh, North Carolina, I’m home.”
Twain opened the show at 8:30 p.m. with “Waking up Dreaming,” the third track from her latest album “Queen of Me.” She surprised the audience by beginning her set in the crowd on the floor, and fans craned their necks and stood on chairs to see her as she navigated her way toward the stage.
After the opening song, the entire night felt like a camp Western rave party, with two backup dancers hypnotizing the crowd with their dance moves and tumbling tricks and inviting the audience to dance along.
“This party is just getting started,” Twain said. “We’re gonna party like there’s no tomorrow.”
Aside from a glistening metal motorcycle Twain appeared on early in the set, the stage design was minimal, but the screen display enhanced the upbeat, flashy energy. Behind Twain, neon cowboy boots floated through space, a horse and an alien scampered across the deck of a Western saloon, and at one point, an enormous “Parental Advisory” logo appeared — and then burst into flames.
Twain launched into “Nah!,” “She’s Not Just a Pretty Face,” “Waiter! Bring Me Water!,” “When” and “Thank You Baby! (For Makin’ Someday Come So Soon),” which she said she’s heard many requests for over the years and is having fun revisiting.
Throughout the show, Twain encouraged the crowd to sing along multiple times, and with an interactive version of “Honey, I’m Home,” she got different sections of the arena singing the word “honey” in a disharmonic but joyful tune.
After two hours of singing, dancing and meeting with fans on stage, Twain was not done rocking. She kept the energetic and eclectic vibe until what appeared to be the end, when she disappeared from the stage after performing “(If You’re Not in It for Love) I’m Outta Here!”
With a pitch black arena and band members and backup dancers leaving the main stage, tension hung in the air as the audience waited in hopes of Twain’s return. Once the leopard print visuals appeared on the screen, it was clear –– Twain was coming back for an encore.
And she did, dressed in the original outfit from the “Man! I Feel Like A Woman!” music video, which was featured in “The Power of Women in Country Music” exhibitat the NC Museum of History earlier this year.
“I only got a chance to wear it once,” Twain said, explaining her outfit change. “So I said, ‘Okay, well, 25 years later, I resurrected her from the museum.’”
The crowd exploded into cheers as Twain began her encore with “That Don’t Impress Me Much,” followed by the most highly-anticipated song of the night, “Man! I Feel Like a Woman!”
During the encore, the packed arena was electric, and fans wearing light-up cowboy hats scattered throughout the venue made the view of the spirited audience even more exhilarating.
After her encore, Twain took a moment to thank the audience.
“What an awesome crowd,” Twain said. “I just want to say thank you so much for this welcome here in Raleigh. You guys are so beautiful.”
We were ROCKIN’ in Buffalo 💥 I took inspiration from some of my favorite female punk rockers for my show outfit - @benatargiraldo, @blondieofficial, @heartofficial… edgy femininity. I just love the contrast of the pink tutu against the boots! Plus jumping around onstage is much easier in docs than heels!! 😂
TALK (from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada) makes his debut as Shania's opening act tonight in Toronto, Ontario. He will also open Tuesday in Quebec City and Wednesday in Montreal. TALK sings Alternative/Indie music. Lily Rose will return Friday in Columbus, Ohio.
To celebrate the #QueenOfMeTour at #ScotiabankArena, we created a custom paper doll set for @shaniatwain showcasing some of her iconic outfits, including a throwback to her sparkly @mapleleafs moment 💙
Oh Canada, it sure does feel good to be home ❤️ And what an absolutely beautiful night in Toronto to kick off some more home country shows! Quebec, Montreal, Winnipeg, Saskatoon, Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver - y'all are some of my favourite places to play and I'm so excited to be performing for you again, it felt only right to end the #QueenOfMeTour in Canada. Who's coming out to a show?
Met the queen @shaniatwain after opening for her on tour this weekend 💕💕 She signed the first CD that I ever bought with my own money (Up!) Being asked to open in arenas for such an incredible human being was an honour and something I’ll never forget.
We went out Friday and Saturday night, we made some noise and really raised our voices… in Columbus and Louisville!! Hot pink wigs, Ohio State Buckeyes, @yunggravy’s voice and signing more body parts for tattoos! Another awesome weekend on the #QueenOfMeTour 💖
Milwaukee, my show tomorrow is on Halloween and you know what that means… I wanna be impressed by your Shania outfits! Let’s have some dressing up fun! 🐆
Do you think the @bucks would have me as a cheerleader after I put together this little Halloween wardrobe in Milwaukee?! The wig was quite @cher circa 1965 which is maybe not practical but I still got my high kicks in! Awesome to see all your costumes this Halloween now on to Omaha - see you tonight!
Tonight's concert in Fargo, North Dakota is Shania's last concert in the United States. She will return to Canada for the final 5 concerts of the tour which ends in Vancouver on November 14.
Posting a few photos from the Iowa show ❤️ What a wild Friday night we had in Des Moines! And the perfect way to start the weekend of celebrations for the final US shows of the #queenofmetour! ❤️🔥 Can’t believe we only have five shows left!
We were invited to cover the set up, build and show of Shania Twain at the AO Arena, Manchester by LCR who provided all of the lighting and rigging solutions for the UK leg of the tour.
Lily Rose has wrapped up her shows as Shania's opening act. Now Tenille Townes makes her debut tonight as Shania's opening act tonight in Winnipeg, Manitoba in the first of 5 Canadian concerts to conclude the Queen Of Me tour.
You know I had to give a little extra drama with my outfit for the final US show of the #QueenOfMeTour - I love how much motion and dancing fabric is in these photos 💖 What a night in Fargo! 19,000 people scream singing along to every word, it felt super special. Now, we're in the final run of shows, ending tour in Canada felt only right... Winnipeg, see your beautiful faces tonight.
Calgary! You were so awesome, you made me smile all night. You were my show in the arena and it was spectacular. Edmonton tonight lets see what you’re made of!
Edmonton!! Last night was dreamy 💖 Thank you so much for rocking out with us for the penultimate #QueenOfMeTour show - I don't want it to end!! Vancouver, saddle up and get ready because we're celebrating tomorrow night!
I hope now that the tour is ending she'll start recording for the new album if she hasn't already.
I hope so too but I rather think that she spend vacation in Abu Dhabi until the end of November, then she will return to the Bahamas for "Dancing on the sand" with Lionel Richie. Then she will spend Christmas with her family in Switzerland. She will prepare for the residency in Vegas. Maybe she will go to the studio in January-February, I believe in it.

Ending a tour is always tough. Getting to spend every night with my beautiful fans is so special and exciting... You are the reason I do what I do! So it’s very hard to say goodbye. But tonight isn't a sad occasion, it's a huge celebration party for an incredible tour! So, Vancouver, for the last time on this tour, join me in shouting - LET'S GO GIRLS 💥⚡️❤️🔥🤠
