Shania Twain Talks Super Bowl, Vegas, and Influence on New Artists
In a recent interview on The View, Shania Twain reflected on her career, personality, and ongoing success. Although she is widely celebrated for empowering anthems like “Man! I Feel Like a Woman”, Twain described herself as naturally shy and solitary, noting that she spends much of her creative time alone. Yet, when she performs, she embraces interaction and connection with her audience.
She also shared childhood memories of being a tomboy growing up in Northern Ontario, often hunting with her father and being mistaken for a boy due to her appearance.
Discussing her 2003 Super Bowl performance, Twain was asked about the controversy surrounding Jennifer Lopez and Shakira’s halftime show years later. Twain defended them, praising their confidence and professionalism, calling them strong and healthy role models rather than performers relying on spectacle.
The interview highlighted her continued impact on younger generations, with stars like Post Malone and Halsey publicly showing admiration for her music. Twain expressed gratitude for this diverse and youthful audience, especially since many were children when her biggest hits were first released.
Looking ahead, Twain announced the extension of her Las Vegas residency through December, describing the show as a high-energy, interactive, and fun experience where fans can “let their hair down.” She emphasized its informal, party-like atmosphere, with dancing, singing, and plenty of audience participation.
Finally, the day of the interview also marked the 25th anniversary of one of her Grammy-winning albums, adding a special milestone to her current chapter of achievements.
