She’s still the one.
Shania Twain returned to her roots for an intimate, one-night-only SiriusXM concert Thursday night at Racket NYC, performing a handful of her greatest hits including “Man! I Feel Like A Woman!,” “Come On Over” and “You’re Still The One” for a packed room of fans and subscribers.
She also sang several songs from her brand-new seventh studio album, “Little Miss Twain” (out today), including “Dirty Rosie” and “Stranger Things.”
The 60-year-old Queen of Country Pop looked glam as ever in a sheer, caped blouse with a plunging neckline, which she layered over a black bustier and paired with matching hot pants.
Knee-high heeled suede boots and a hefty helping of diamond jewelry — including a show-stopping necklace, shoulder-dusting chandelier earrings and several sparkling bracelets and rings — completed Twain’s onstage ensemble.
During the set, the five-time Grammy winner shared the personal stories behind some of her new tunes, which were inspired by her time growing up as an aspiring musician in Ontario, Canada.
“Faded Blue Jeans,” which features Queens of the Stone Age’s Josh Homme, paints a picture of young love and the beloved denim she wore in her 1995 music video for “Any Man of Mine.” (And yes, she still has those jeans.)
“Little Miss Twain,” meanwhile, is a love letter to her mother’s support and sacrifice as the young singer vies to become “the next Tanya Tucker.” (Tucker herself duets on the track, in a true full-circle moment.) While Twain’s parents died in a car accident when she was just 22, the artist’s sister was in attendance at Thursday’s show, and received a special shoutout from the stage.
In honor of Twain’s album release, SiriusXM has launched Little Miss Twain Radio, a new pop-up channel celebrating her discography and musical influences.
