Update: After talking with another fan, it looks like it will in fact only be a 3-member band (Brent, Lindsay and Tif). That's crazy! That means a lot, if not all, of the music will be pre-recorded and piped in. I bet some of Shania's vocals will be pre-recorded too.

When music was the heart of the show. Those were good times.
Now it's all about making money, money, money. It's so sad!

Given this news and the fact that rehearsals were only a few days, I suspect that it will probably be the same setlist, visuals, and choreography as the Come on Over Vegas shows. I wonder if she’ll be doing the full show live like she did for Come on Over or if the whole thing will be playback. If she is going to lipsync, I hope it’s all newer tracks and not the previous tracks that date back to the first Vegas residency in 2012 that she used for some songs through the QoM tour.

She's been doing more and more live singing these past two or so years even with all the changes of her band so I choose to remain positive and hope she'll continue doing that.

Still the One: Shania Twain arrives in Calgary while in midst of a career reinvention

Twain returns to Calgary this week as both the Stampede Parade marshal on July 4 and headline act at the Saddledome the following night

By Eric Volmers | Calgary Herald | July 2, 2025

In Andrea Warner’s essay Shania Twain: Bad Feelings, Bare Midriffs and Breaking Ground, the music critic writes about the strong feelings she had about Twain when she was a teenage music buff and budding feminist.

Strong and strongly negative.

“As a teenager, I couldn’t stand Twain,” Warner writes in her book of essays, We Outta Know: How Celine, Shania, Alanis and Sarah Ruled the ’90s and Changed Music.

“I vehemently objected to her brand of coy, sexy country-pop that I felt pushed women’s equality back ten or fifteen years. I wrote her off as a construct of male fantasy: A girl who could ride a horse while showing off a perfectly sculpted bare midriff by day and slip into some sort of cleavage-baring c0cktail dress at night, the emphasis always on her sex appeal first, relatability second, and talent third.

Warner updated her book in 2024, but it first came out in 2015. That was 22 years after Twain first “hit the country music industry like a grenade” and became one of the most successful musicians in the cosmos.

It was more than enough time for Warner to realize she had been wrong about Twain.

Now an associate producer with CBC Music, her updated essay on Twain celebrates the artist as a feminist force whose wild success gave value to women, female artists and forever changed the industry. She also offers a detailed appraisal of Twain’s music and suggests that even her earliest work had merit, showcasing her significant chops as a songwriter.

“As a teenager, I had embarrassingly negative feelings,” says Warner, in an interview from her home in Vancouver. “I was . . . coming into my own understanding of feminism and I had this idea that I couldn’t love Alanis Morissette and Sarah McLachlan and also have any space at all and good feelings or goodwill towards Shania Twain and Celine Dion.

“It’s super embarrassing now, in hindsight, but it came from an honest place when I was a teenager. It was very difficult for me to wrap my brain around the songs she was singing and the things that I was taking lyrically from her music, which seemed to me to be all about love, all about getting a man. All of these different things that I thought were antithetical to me as a very young 16-year-old feminist.”

It doesn’t take long into the essay for Warner to admit she was off base. She now sees Twain as an artist who used “skillful manipulation of the surface to push her subversive, secret agenda — an agenda that would change country music, for a little while at least, and give rise to a new generation of women writing their own material.”

It shows that despite the outward positivity of her music, superfluous use of exclamation marks in her song titles and those cheerfully sexy and elaborate videos, Twain could be a surprisingly divisive figure during her rise to fame.

Warner, of course, was not alone in being suspicious or dismissive of Twain, who returns to Calgary this week as both the Stampede Parade marshal on July 4 and headline act at the Saddledome the following night.

In the early 1990s, it wasn’t just fledgling feminists who were cynical about Twain’s bigger-than-Jesus rise to stardom. In the 2022 Netflix documentary Shania Twain: Not Just A Girl, the singer and her supporters talk about some of the misconceptions about the star.

Her relationship with producer Robert John (Mutt) Lange, who Twain was married to from 1993 to 2010, was certainly one of them. Lange co-wrote and produced Twain’s sophomore album, 1995’s The Woman in Me, and its 1997 followup, Come on Over.

Those records turned her into a global phenomenon. The latter became the best-selling country music album of all time, the best-selling studio album by a female artist and the best-selling album of the 1990s.

But Twain was always dogged by the sexist assumptions that Lange was her Svengali, a relationship where “he was the brains and she was the voice and body,” Warner writes.

That assumption persisted throughout those heady years of superstardom, even as the groundbreaking accomplishments continued.

Her 2002 fourth album, Up!, became her third consecutive album to be diamond-certified, meaning it sold more than 10 million units. She is the only female artist to achieve this feat. She won Grammys, sold out stadiums around the world and became one of the biggest ever country-pop crossover successes, paving the way for Taylor Swift and the Chicks, among others.

Yet there was still this idea that she was a puppet, an artist who was constructed by the industry and guided by men like Lange.

“Talentless sex strumpet? Pin-up pop wannabe? Was she saving country or condemning it? Was she a role model or the poster girl for entrenched patriarchy?” Warner writes.

She points to Twain’s song Man! I Feel Like A Woman!” from Come on Over as a key turning point, even if not everyone recognized it as such at the time. Warner calls it a “huge f–k you to the critics and haters” that had Twain playing with “gendered expectations and stereotypes of femininity.”

“Twain was a strong woman with a lot of agency who was frequently asserting that agency in public, but because she is also beautiful and seemingly enjoyed showing off her body, she wasn’t perceived as a feminist threat, even if what she was doing was, in fact, deeply feminist, including exercising her prerogative to look and sound any way she wanted,” Warner writes.

Devon Cole inspired by Shania

For Calgary singer-songwriter Devon Cole, Twain’s feminist bona fides were never in question.

On Saturday, the pop singer will be Twain’s opening act at the Saddledome, the same venue where Cole saw her musical hero perform seven years ago.

Growing up in Calgary, Cole remembers obsessively listening to Twain’s records on her “little CD-ROM” and singing into a hairbrush in front of the mirror to That Don’t Impress Me Much.

“She was so meaningful to me and is so meaningful to me because I think she was the first pop artist I heard who was saying what she wanted, how she wanted,” Cole says.

“She is really a strong woman. You can tell in her songs. She is very up front and a feminist — clearly a feminist. I loved her when I was seven or eight.”

Like Twain, Cole has the ability to write feminist anthems that often sound deceptively breezy on the surface. She first gained traction on social media as a TikTok star after releasing W.I.T.C.H. (Woman in Total Control of Herself). Her most recent EP, 2024’s Two Shades Blonder, included songs such as Sugar Daddy and Play House that turn gender expectations on their head with sly wordplay.

Even as a seven-year-old super fan, Cole said she detected something different in Twain’s perspective, and it’s an appreciation that has deepened as she got older and re-listened to her songs.

“She has one (song) that says ‘If you wanna touch her, ask’, and it’s a play on ‘If you want to touch her ass,’ obviously.” Cole says. “So that’s a blatant example of a very feminist song. But even That Don’t Impress Me Much and Man! I Feel Like A Woman!, I’m Gonna Getcha Good, it’s all from the perspective of this woman who knows what she wants and is going to stop at nothing to be that way.

“I was obsessed with it. I loved it and it was really meaningful for me as a young woman to step into that persona.”

Twain’s drive for success and self-determination may have sprung from a severely troubled childhood growing up in Timmins, Ont. The first 50 or so pages of her 2011 autobiography, From This Moment On, cover a harrowing litany of horrors: poverty, domestic violence, sexual abuse, her mother’s depression.

She recounts being sent to school with no lunch and sleeping in winter clothes because the family couldn’t afford to heat the house. In one grimly symbolic segment, a seven-year-old Shania decides to pull up the dirty carpet in the family’s new basement apartment only to find the floor covered with squirming maggots

Meanwhile, much of Twain’s post-fame trials have been dutifully covered by the tabloids. That includes her very public divorce from Lange, her battle with Lyme disease, which led to her temporary inability to sing, and a lengthy retreat from the spotlight.

Twain released the album Now in 2017, her first studio album since 2002’s Up!

Since 2012, she’s had three Las Vegas residencies. She took on a dramatic recurring role opposite Don Johnson in the ABC series Doctor Odyssey and is currently a judge on Canada’s Got Talent. In 2023, she released her most recent album, Queen of Me.

Warner said the past decade or so has seen Twain reinvent herself while asserting her place in music history and stressing that it was her, not Lange or industry power brokers, that steered her career. The Netflix documentary is a case in point.

“The bio doc allowed her to set the record straight about things that people hadn’t really known before,” said Warner. “The fact that she was editing her music videos, the fact that she was the architect of all those iconic outfits.

“Obviously there is a team there, but she is having a central role in everything. I think that had largely been missing. She hadn’t taken necessarily public ownership of that information before, for who knows what reason.

“Now she is here telling her own story. I think with her last record, Queen of Me, she really believed in that title and showed up on that album in a way that told us that she feels good about who she is right now. That’s hard to do for any of us, let alone someone who has been extremely famous in the public eye.

“Just because you are beautiful and talented doesn’t always mean you feel good about yourself. It’s really wonderful to see her come into her own.”

Shania Twain’s hockey-inspired outfits, ball gown and 1998 halter top among artifacts at National Music Centre

When Shania Twain leads the the Stampede Parade as this year’s celebrity marshal Friday morning, she will pass by the National Music Centre.

Maybe she will drop in. Jesse Moffatt, NMC’s director of collections and exhibitions, doesn’t believe Twain has ever set foot in the centre, but she is well-represented within its walls, and rightly so.

Twain was inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame in 2011, but has not yet been inducted into the Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame. The National Music Centre is the physical home of both institutions.

“If you think of Canada’s biggest stars, Shania is definitely one of the top ones,” says Moffat. “I think by last count, hasn’t she sold 100 million albums? To put that in perspective, Nickelback is huge and I think they are at 60 million.

“It’s pretty impressive in what she has been able to accomplish.”

Among its hundreds of artifacts, the National Music Centre has both the Toronto Maple Leaf and Ottawa Senator-inspired outfits that Twain wore when hosting the 2003 Juno awards in Ottawa.

The centre also has a signed halter top that Twain wore during her first stadium tour in 1998.

The custom-made ball gown she sported at the 2018 Canadian Country Music Association Awards in Hamilton, Ont., is currently on display in the centre’s Idols and Icons exhibit.

“For someone who grew up in the 1990s, when she came on the scene she just exploded,” Moffat says. “I think she redefined what country music could be.

“That crossover of genres opened up an entirely new global fanbase. I think she made space for the Taylor Swifts of the world.”

Shania Twain performs at the Saddledome on July 5.

It looks like Kendal Carson is a new band member. She plays the fiddle.

Shania Twain looked amazing and the place looked sold out. She really doesn't need to release new music people go for the hits. There aren't very many female country singers who can sell out like her and she's 60 still drawing in the crowds.

 She's not sixty! Yet... She doesn't need to release new music, but we do.

Tommy it seems like Shanias sound is better I'm wondering if its because she got rid of the back up singer or is she live or prerecorded? Either this is a good production and she seems to be back with the dark hair. Just wondering what you think and do you think this is a better sounding tour then the early Queen of me?

She sounds really good - the best she’s sounded live in years in my opinion. I don't think her vocals are prerecorded except for maybe some parts of FTMO and the verses and ending of MIFLAW. Her voice doesn’t have the autotuned effect that her new tracks had that were used for the QoM tour had. I think her voice is stronger and she doesn’t have Paul singing her part. She’s actually singing the pre-chorus of MIFLAW completely live as originally written based on some of the videos I saw from last night - she hasn’t sang this part live since the Up tour. She’s singing the chorus itself in a lower key still.

I agree. For the most part, I think she is singing live and sounds good.

Calgary Review: Shania Twain proves yet again that she is masterful at giving audiences what they want

Other than a few strange, momentum-muting segments late in the set, the show offered steady pace and a polished if predictable song list

By Eric Volmers | Calgary Herald | July 6, 2025

“Fellow Canadians, we are in this together,” Shania Twain told the enthusiastic crowd at the Saddledome Saturday night.

It was hardly a political treatise, but it was a nice and subtle call for unity of the third day of the Calgary Stampede.  It was also telling that Twain had just proudly told the Calgary crowd — during Stampede, no less — that she was from Ontario and was still loudly cheered.

The Timmins, Ont.-raised superstar started the festivities with a jolt of patriotism, offering a fiery run through Rock This Country! (NOTE: All exclamation marks in this review are Twain’s). With its pounding, pop-metal drums and double guitar-crunch, the song sounds like a Def Leppard-Bryan Adams hybrid and all the geographic shoutouts in the 2000 original are actually to American states.

Nevertheless, Twain and her four-piece backup band came bounding out to a backdrop of flapping Canadian flags projected on the Jumbotron and risers. Granted, she may not have been quite as Canada-forward a few nights ago when she opened the tour in Montana.

But after years of global success, stadium tours and Las Vegas residencies, Twain is nothing if not masterful and giving audiences what they want.

Twain’s performance on Saturday is the lone Saddledome concert at the Stampede this year. For context, last year the Stampede presented back-to-back concerts by Motley Crue, Miranda Lambert, The Jonas Brothers and Nickelback. Presumably, the thinking this year by programmers was that they would give the Stampede crowd a concentrated dose of superstardom right out of the gate. (Twain was also the marshal of the Calgary Stampede parade Friday morning.)

The night started with a blast of energy, as Twain and her bouncing  backup band — everyone was dressed in matching white attire and Twain sported some sparkling red cowboy boots — followed the opener with equally revved-up runs through Don’t Be Stupid (You Know I Love You), You Win My Love, Waking Up Dreaming and Up!

Other than a few strange, momentum-muting segments late in the set, the show offered steady pace and a polished if predictable song list. Even the most cynical naysayers have to admit that Twain’s songs all have remarkably sharp and endearing sing-a-long hooks that are nicely sweetened by those ABBA-esque gang-vocal harmonies and counter-melodies  and powered by pummelling hard-rock beats and guitar riffs. They simply sound great in a stadium.

Still, it could be argued that the nicest musical moments were also the ones that showcased the band’s nuance and subtlety. Early on, Twain sat on a stool with her band surrounding her for tender versions of You’re Still the One and No One Need to Know. Both were highlights.

The best musical moment, though, may have been the shape-shifting Honey, I’m Home, which started as a stomping blue-grass number with the band huddled in a hootenanny-style circle before the tune morphed into thundering country-pop.

The pace was interrupted a few times by what seemed like moments of spontaneity. That included a segment where Twain pulled an eight-year-old girl out of the crowd, who steadfastly refused to croon along with the singer. It was both cute and funny. Another segment had Alberta artist Caroline Sinclair do a five-minute speed-painting demonstration as Twain sang the ballad From This Moment On. It was an interesting idea and certainly impressive and the painting was to be auctioned off the raise money for the charitable Shania Twain Foundation. But it seemed to puzzle the audience more than anything.

Twain then borrowed Texas singer Drake Milligan from the Nashville North tent for a somewhat lacklustre run through Party for Two. I would have preferred to see Twain duet with her guitarist, Calgary-born Lindsay Ell. Ell, a successful singer-songwriter in her own right, was in fine form throughout as she showcased her considerable skills as a guitar player. It would have been nice if Twain had given her a shoutout in her hometown.

Speaking of local performers, the night was opened by Calgary-born pop artist Devon Cole. A magnetic performer who was clearly excited to be delivering her first stadium show, Cole is a commanding presence on stage. In five years, she has also amassed an impressive collection of funny and smart pop anthems, including Sorry Mom, Hey Cowboy, Sugar Daddy and the soulful Play House. At one point, Cole brandished a sparkly Louisville Slugger as a prop as she offered a killer version of Carrie Underwood’s  that-man-done-me-wrong banger Before He Cheats.

Cole, who grew up listening to Twain, shares her musical hero’s ability to pen sexy and catchy anthems with a feminist bent.

Twain inarguably has paved the way for artists such as Cole, not to mention Taylor Swift. She may not be as musically adventurous as Swift, but her best songs have stood the test of time. On Saturday, Twain left the crowd with her signature 1997 anthem Man! I Feel Like A Woman! It’s a song that offered sentiments that seem fairly commonplace now but may have seemed mildly revolutionary 30 years ago in the world of country music.

Whatever the case, it certainly left the sold-out audience at the Saddledome wanting more.

That Did Impress Us Much – Shania Rocks Moose Jaw!

By Courtney Fielder | Discover Moose Jaw | July 8, 2025

Last night was truly one to remember for country music fans in Moose Jaw! A sold-out crowd filled the Temple Gardens Centre for an unforgettable evening with none other than Shania Twain. 

The night kicked off with an electric set from Lindsay Ell, who opened the show with a mix of new songs and fan favourites—including “Right On Time” and her first Canadian #1, “Criminal.” After a short intermission—and a surprise cameo from Shania’s adorable puppy, who strolled across the stage—Lindsay returned to join Shania and the band. And from that moment on, the magic truly began.

From that moment on, the night unfolded like a dream. Shania invited a local Moose Jaw girl named Golden on stage to sing "Giddy Up", and later, the crowd celebrated a proposal. Shania welcomed the newly engaged couple, Alisha and Nancy, up on stage and serenaded them with “Make You Feel My Love”—the country version famously recorded by Garth Brooks for the 1998 film Hope Floats

There was dancing, singing, and more than a few joyful tears throughout the night. The entire show felt incredibly personal—an intimate, once-in-a-lifetime experience right here in Moose Jaw.

It was amazing to see so many generations in the audience—from parents bringing their kids to their first concert, to lifelong fans who’ve been with Shania since the beginning.

Forever and for always, Moose Jaw—you show up in the best way. Let’s hope Shania felt the love and brings it back again real soon!

This past Saturday, @shaniatwain made history at the @calgarystampede , performing to a sold-out crowd at the Saddledome - the only concert held at the venue during this year’s festivities. The show became the highest-grossing in Stampede history. She also served as parade marshal for Friday’s Calgary Stampede Parade, marking a triumphant and emotional return to the Stampede.

During the parade, Shania shared: “This is more of a personal exchange with Calgary, with the Stampede, and I’ll feel like this is my grand welcome.”

Opening the night was Calgary’s own @devonmcole , delivering her first-ever stadium performance. “A magnetic performer who was clearly excited to be delivering her first stadium show, Cole is a commanding presence on stage,” wrote the Calgary Herald.

Cavendish Beach Music Festival kicks off, bringing multi-million dollar boost to P.E.I.

By Maria Sarrouh | CTV News | July 9, 2025

CAVENDISH, P.E.I. — Atlantic Canada’s largest country music festival is back in the coastal community of Cavendish, P.E.I.

Behind the twang and the tunes is an economic engine, powering paycheques and public services. Local brewers are banking on a big weekend as crowds begin to roll in.

“It’s a tremendous boost to everything that we do,” said Brandon Bowers, culinary operations manager at Gahan House.

He adds that the Cavendish Beach Music Festival is huge for brand awareness. Many visitors are introduced to the restaurant’s food, then visit locations in Charlottetown and across the East Coast.

More than 60,000 music fans from the Maritimes and across Canada take in the three-day annual country showcase. Those fans need places to stay and to stock up on supplies.

“It’s over 15,000 room nights that are directly attributed to the festival,” said Ben Murphy, CEO of Whitecap Entertainment, listing businesses that benefit. “Gas stations, the convenience stores, the grocery stores.”

Murphy adds that many repeat visitors have been coming for more than a decade, growing up with the event. As those fans get older and gain more disposable income, they’re spending more on accommodations, food, and merchandise, often bringing friends or family along for the weekend.

On average, Cavendish drives a direct impact of about $20 million to the Island’s economy. This year, organizers are hoping to top that, with headliner Shania Twain taking the stage Thursday.

“We’ve been after her for a number of years, so if anyone can break it, I think she can,” said Murphy.

The festival also creates summer jobs for hundreds of contractors, hired to help with everything from fencing off the stage to stocking the stalls.

Plus, tourism experts say the surge in spending supports the province year-round.

“It’s generating tax dollars that also help pay for Island necessities, whether that be health care, education, infrastructure,” said Corryn Clemence, CEO of the P.E.I. Tourism Industry Association.

She adds that with another large-scale concert, the Sommo Festival, which is slated for September, Islanders are hopeful the live music scene will continue to drive traffic - and revenue - well beyond the summer stretch.

“[Cavendish] would feel the biggest boost,” Clemence said. “But when we talk about economic impact, it’s felt really across the Island.”

The music may be the main event, but the money keeps things moving long after the crowds clear out.

Review: Shania Twain breaks out all the hits at SPAC show

Sunday set in Saratoga Springs included "You're Still the One," "Man, I Feel Like a Woman!"

By Jim Shahen Jr. | Times Union | July 21, 2025

SARATOGA SPRINGS — Man, it was a good time to feel like a woman Sunday night at the Saratoga Performing Arts Center. Shania Twain was in town as part of her ongoing “Queen of Me” tour, which started in 2023 and has served as her first national touring production since 2018.

It would take more words than a live review should ever have to dive into how the music released by Twain and her producer ex-husband Mutt Lange — the sonic architect behind AC/DC’s “Highway to Hell” and “Back in Black” and Def Leppard’s “Pyromania” and “Hysteria” chart-topping records — did more to make country palatable to broader, pop audiences (and turn pop-country into the cultural presence it is today). Twain’s 100-minute set, comprised largely of material from her late 1990s commercial heyday, leaned into that legacy and served as a well-earned victory lap for the pop-country icon.

Twain was in fine vocal form and consistently energetic and engaged throughout her performance. She was also clearly appreciative of the 20,000-plus fans in attendance. In fact, crowd work was a major piece of the Twain live experience, and at a level that was surprising for a show of this scale.

After opening with “Rock This Country!” and ripping through a handful of songs, highlighted by “Up!” and its pounding beat that evokes Def Leppard’s “Pour Some Sugar on Me,” Twain dedicated “You’re Still the One” to a couple in the audience celebrating an anniversary. She let a concertgoer in the front row sing the first verse of “I’m Gonna Getcha Good” and prefaced a lively, band-showcasing, rendition of “Honey, I’m Home” by hopping down from the stage to joke and sing a cappella with some school-aged fans in the front row.

Before a crowd-pleasing take of “From This Moment On,” Twain sang “Happy Birthday” to a pint-sized fan named Emma. The subsequent performance of the song was dedicated to a couple that may or may not be getting engaged in the near future (they were pretty coy about it and Twain lightheartedly played up their relationship status).

“That Don’t Impress Me Much” concluded the main set and an exuberant Twain had the crowd going wild by its conclusion. A duet on “Party for Two” with Lindsay Ell, a member of Twain’s touring band, felt the freshest of all the material. The guitarist-singer injected a heightened level of energy into the track and it compelled Twain to move from upbeat, crowd-pleasing nostalgia into a performance that felt more urgent. Twain wrapped things up soon after and sent the fans home happy by ending on “Man! I Feel Like a Woman!” Oddly enough, that song served as Twain’s opener during her last Capital Region stop — a 2003 concert at the then-Pepsi Arena in Albany — and Sunday’s opener was that show’s closer.

Andy Grammer was the opening act. If Twain’s set was a celebration of her legacy as a pop-country icon, Grammer’s felt like an anachronistic throwback to early 2010s pop. Dressed like a middle-aged person’s idea of what youngsters thought was cool in 2005, Grammer’s whole thing felt nearly as dated as his wardrobe. A cheesy interpolation of the Black Eyed Peas’ “I Gotta Feeling” with Bon Jovi’s “Livin’ on a Prayer,” OneRepublic’s “Counting Stars” and Chappell Roan’s “Pink Pony Club” made me clench my jaw so tight I thought I cracked a molar. My opinion was a minority one, however, and the audience seemed to enjoy him and his biggest hit, “Keep Your Head Up.”

Shania Twain tells Hershey audience ‘don’t be stupid’ during uplifting, feel-good concert

By Sean Adams | PennLive | July 27, 2025

The edgiest moments in Shania Twain’s concert in Hershey were brief, and even then, they were lighthearted.

“Come on, don’t be stupid, Hershey!” Twain said during the song “Don’t Be Stupid.” “You know I love ya!”

The country music star put on a show that was focused almost entirely on joy and celebration, something she noted several times.

“I want to thank you so much for this incredibly warm welcome,” she said at the top of the show.

And her commitment to that joy began even before she arrived in town, with a $25,000 donation to the Hershey Food Bank earlier this month.

Twain also noted that she had “a five pound bar of Hershey chocolate in my dressing room” which would take her an entire year to finish.

“This is a very special place,” she said. “It’s beautiful. And the whole world knows about your beautiful chocolate. I’m just very happy to be here with you.”

Twain wasn’t there alone, though. Her opening act was Andy Grammer, a pop rock performer who is also thoroughly, almost relentlessly, positive.

If you’ve never heard his music, Grammer’s song titles are enough to capture his whole vibe: “Bigger Man,” “Fine by Me,” and “Good to Be Alive (Hallelujah),” to name a few.

“It’s an honor to be here in Hershey,” Grammer said, also giving the candy company a shout-out. “I’m a huge fan of your work.”

Grammer’s high-energy performance was a great warm-up, as he coached the crowd on singing along with the “oh”s and “ay”s of “Keep Your Head Up,”

And a few of his songs, such as “Honey I’m Good,” had a country-adjacent, stomp-and-holler feel, which led well into Twain’s country-pop set.

It would have been easy to guess that Twain was in a good mood even without her saying so: she looked and sang like she was having the time of her life.

“Are we feeling positive?” she asked, beaming her megawatt smile. And judging by the crowd’s reaction, the answer was an emphatic yes.

She slowed things down with ballads like “You’re Still the One” and “From This Moment On,” but also flexed her country muscle with songs like “Any Man of Mine” and “Giddy Up.”

“It’s time to [expletive] kick,” she said, playfully dropping a curse word.

Twain performed for roughly 90 minutes, and rounded out her set with “Party for Two” with special guest Lindsay Ell, and trademark girl-power anthems like “That Don’t Impress Me Much,” and of course, “Let’s Go Girls.”

Pennsylvania has been hammered for weeks with nearly nonstop rain, including earlier in the afternoon, which left the air muggy even when the rain stopped.

But the weather held for the length of the show, leaving a beautiful night to enjoy some music. The forecasted evening thunderstorm held off until after the concert ended. Maybe there’s something to this “feeling positive” business after all.

Country music star gives two 9-year-old best friends a chance to sing on stage during concert

By Sean Adams | PennLive | July 27, 2025

Shania Twain performed in Hershey on July 26, and two audience members at the show went home with quite a story.

Twain took a moment during her concert to ask two young audience members up on stage with her.

The two girls introduced themselves to the crowded Hersheypark Stadium as Violet and Hazel, best friends from Baltimore whose moms had brought them to the show.

“I love the color theme!” Twain said, regarding their names.

In a particularly adorable moment, when Twain asked the girls if they knew what they wanted to be when they grew up, one said “just like you, Shania!”

Twain then asked if they’d like to sing a bit with her, and they agreed to do the chorus of “Let’s Go Girls.”

With Twain leading, the two young ladies gave it their all, to thunderous cheers from the audience.

“There’s a lot of words there, right?” Twain said, helping out when the duo got a bit stuck on the lyrics.

And together, Violet and Hazel concluded with “man, I feel like a woman!”

It was the capstone for the thoroughly positive and upbeat show, and surely a memory that those two friends, their mothers, and the entire audience will not soon forget.

Concert review: Shania Twain keeps it simple for first Jacksonville show in a decade

By Tom Szaroleta | Jacksonville Florida Times-Union | July 30, 2025

Spoiler alert: If you're planning to see Shania Twain at Daily's Place in downtown Jacksonville on Wednesday, you probably should stop reading now.

For those who packed Daily's Place on Tuesday to see Twain's first Jacksonville appearance in a decade, well, you already know you had a good time.

Twain's Tuesday night show leaned heavily on her "The Woman in Me," "Come on Over" and "Up!" albums, which makes sense, since the albums released from 1995-2002 sold tens of millions of copies and made Twain the best-selling female country artist ever. She sprinkled in a few songs from 2023's "Queen of Me," but the show was about delivering the hits, and she ignored her first album and 2017's "Now" entirely.

At the only other stop on Twain's brief summer tour where she's played two nights, she performed pretty much the same setlist twice in a row. That's good news for fans going to her Wednesday night show, since it means they'll likely get the same treatment as Tuesday's fans.

Twain's four-piece band (which, curiously, did not include a bass player) drove the songs hard all night, planting titanic guitar riffs through the country/pop setlist, particularly on "Up!" and "I'm Gonna Getcha Good." "Honey, I'm Home" got a nice bluegrass intro, with guitar, fiddle and banjo.

Twain is coming off a long Las Vegas casino residency, so the show is very tight and well-rehearsed, maybe a little too much. To add a little spontaneity, she interacts with the audience. At Tuesday's show, she called up a couple holding a "We Named Our Baby Shania" sign and learned that they decided to get married after the man bought the woman a ticket to see Shania in Vegas. The story was so improbable that it had to be real.

Twain, who turns 60 in a month, looked and sounded great, even if she was singing in a lower register than she did in her heyday. She threw karate kicks, stalked the stage in platform sandals and shook her long mane like a headbanger during guitar solos. She played a little bit of guitar during an acoustic set and showed off her voice a few times, especially during "You're Still the One" and at the start of "(If You're Not In It For Love) I'm Outta Here." The show had no back-up dancers or elaborate props and, other than a cowboy hat that appeared mid-set, Twain wore the same outfit for the whole show, nearly unheard of for a country diva.

The heatwave that has gripped Northeast Florida this week took a short break for the show, and a light breeze kept the atmosphere inside the amphitheater comfortable. That allowed fans to dig out their boots, fringed tops and blinking cowboy hats for a girls' night out.

Twenty-six years after she headlined a show on the other side of the wall at what was then called Alltel Stadium, Twain brought the sound of the late '90s back and had the crowd dancing all night. "Any Man of Mine" is a kick-up-your-heels song if ever there was one, and the echoes from "Man! I Feel Like a Woman!" (one of five songs she played with exclamation points in the title) will probably still be ringing through the rafters when the crowd files in for Wednesday night's show.

Review: Shania Twain Delivers a Hit-Filled Show for Miami Fans

The country-pop star played the first of two shows last night at Hard Rock Live in Hollywood.

By Flor Franceschetti | Miami New Times | August 2, 2025

Let's go, girls, guys, and every rhinestone-studded fan. Last night, Shania Twain brought the glitter, grit, and decades of country-pop bangers to the first of two shows at Hard Rock Live in Hollywood. And in true Twain fashion, she owned the room.

Taking the stage at exactly 8:34 p.m., Twain appeared in silver sequined boots, yes — New Times was able to get that close! —, jean shorts, and a matching sparkle-drenched jacket. The outfit shimmered under the lights as she launched into "Rock This Country!," backed by an all-women band (save for one male guitarist) dressed in crisp white. The visual balance gave Twain the center stage she commands and deserves.

Fresh off a long-running Las Vegas residency, the show was tight to perfection. At times, it bordered on over-rehearsed, but Twain's natural charisma kept it from feeling sterile. She cracked smiles, tossed out high karate kicks, and let fans know she was genuinely enjoying herself. There was some crowd interaction, too.

The setlist was pure nostalgia gold. Twain breezed through fan favorites like "Don't Be Stupid (You Know I Love You)," "Up!," "You Win My Love," "I'm Gonna Getcha Good!," and the newer "Waking Up Dreaming," released in 2023 as a single from her Queen of Me album. "From This Moment On" slowed things down, giving fans a moment to catch their breath, and maybe shed a tear or two. And of course, "Man! I Feel Like a Woman!" hit hard, prompting an arena-wide sing-along.

The crowd brought their A-game too, donning cowboy hats, fringe, and bedazzled denim. Homemade signs declared devotion to the Canadian queen, and the energy in the room was palpable. Everyone — from longtime fans to newcomers raised on '90s playlists — was there to celebrate a living legend.

Twain, who turns 60 later this month, showed no signs of slowing down. With minimal props, she relied on her voice, stage presence, and catalog of hits to carry the night, and it worked, proving that she's still the one.

Night two kicks off tonight. If you missed Friday, grab a ticket while you can; there are still a few left!

Since this was technically the "Live In Concert" tour, I would assume the ticket sales and revenue are separate and not included in the "Queen Of Me" tour sales.

I can't believe the Live In Concert summer tour is over already!! I have had the best time on the road with you all!! Every night was a party and every crowd brought their a-game in outfits, dance moves and vocals! You guys truly are the most fun, fabulous, kick-ass fans anyone could ask for! Now it's time for me to wind down... only joking, you know I love to work 😜 I'm off to work on new music... Stay tuned!

Shania Twain @shaniatwain

Looking back on this summer, these two nights in Toronto really stayed with me… the energy, the vocals, the love in that room - it was electric ⚡️ Being in my home country, halfway through the tour, and feeling that much support from the crowd… I’ll never forget it. I say it all the time, but performing live really is where I feel most alive! You guys are the reason I do this, and I’m so grateful we get to share these moments together. From Montana, through Ontario, to Florida - every single night of this summer run was an absolute dream. Until next time 😘

Shania Twain must have had vocal surgery before the tour because on some interviews and shows she was wearing this thing around her neck. Regardless it worked because she sounds way better now singing then she did in years.

You mean the scarf she's wearing around her neck in the iHeartRadio Canada and Etalk interviews? I'm pretty sure it was just part of her outfit for media day. (I think when she was in Calgary or Toronto.)
