Shania Twain reveals her one diva demand!
In her appearance on the Dish Podcast with Waitrose, Shania Twain charmed listeners with candid reflections on life, food, music, and her approach to stardom. Despite being one of the most successful female artists of all time, she came across as down-to-earth, humorous, and relatable.
Shania described her recent time in the UK, arriving to dramatic storms yet feeling energized by being in one of her favorite cities. While work brings her to London, she also enjoys moments of leisure, like horseback riding in Hyde Park when time allows. She spoke about disguising herself in public, noting that women often find it easier to go unnoticed by simply leaving the “stage beauty” at home.
The conversation turned to her upcoming Glastonbury performance, which she called an honor and a “wow” moment. She admitted it was difficult to keep the news secret even from friends and family but emphasized how special it felt to finally share. Preparing for the legendary festival, she humorously discussed her love of rubber boots (Wellies), complete with pink and horse designs.
Food also took center stage. As a vegetarian, Twain spoke passionately about dishes like zucchini fries and eggplant parmesan, even offering cooking tips. She revealed her pre-show diet, avoiding heavy meals to protect her diaphragm, sticking to smoothies and pureed foods before performing, then indulging afterward with her favorite—French fries.
A lighthearted segment uncovered fun trivia: her song “Honey, I’m Home” was once played on the Space Shuttle Atlantis, and Prince once wanted her to record an album with him under the condition of no swearing—something she declined, as she felt it limited creative freedom.
Finally, when asked about her one true “diva demand,” Shania kept it simple and human: no smoking around her. She explained it firmly but without arrogance, underscoring her reputation as a grounded artist who values health and authenticity over extravagance.
In the end, Shania Twain reminded fans why she remains such a beloved figure—equal parts superstar and approachable storyteller, blending humility with a career that continues to inspire across generations.
