Few artists can say they’ve secured a Las Vegas residency – but Shania Twain has achieved not one, not two, but three in her career.
So it’s only fitting that the 58-year-old star secured the Pyramid Stage’s legends slot for her Glastonbury debut over the weekend. And Shania – who was born Eilleen Regina Edwards – was ready to bring the fun, admitting ahead of her performance that she had even packed her wellies.
“I am getting into the spirit of the whole experience,” she laughs. “I will be bringing rubber boots – wellies, as you call them here. I will probably wear a cowboy hat if it’s raining… so I can keep myself from looking like a wet rat.”
With 100 million plus record sales under her belt, the You’re Still The One singer has more than earned her spot on that stage. Reserved for the very best of the best, the legend slot has seen the likes of Diana Ross, Dolly Parton, Dame Shirley Bassey and Tony Bennett storm the stage over the years.
But despite performing countless times over her career – five world tours, to be exact – Shania views Glastonbury as her biggest award. “So many of my heroes have done it,” she gushes. “Honestly, I feel like it’s well, I don’t know if this is the right language, but it feels like an accolade of sorts, really something that you have to earn, it’s just very rewarding, it’s a really beautiful feeling.”
Completing the line-up alongside Cyndi Lauper, Dua Lipa and Coldplay – to name but a few – at the Somerset based festival, the Queen of Country Pop is treating this, justifiably, as a career highlight.
“My manager said, ‘I wouldn’t be surprised if that comes up,’ but it’s lifetime thing,” Shania explains. “I was on the edge of my seat until it became a reality.”
