Shania Twain's recent comeback in music has been epic as she released a new album, Queen Of Me, in February and has been on a world tour this year all over the U.S. and Canada, with more dates on the tour next month in Europe.
Having sold more than 100 million albums worldwide, her music hold has been strong since she released her The Woman In Me album in 1995. She quickly spread her music from country to pop in her success, but has stayed a staple in country music for many years.
Twain has been busy in the last year promoting her new music and will resume her "Queen Of Me Tour" with dates in Europe in September.
Shania recently announced that her "Come On Over" Residency will launch in May 2024 at the 7,000-seat Bakkt Theater at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino. The residency will be 24 shows set for May, August, September, November, and December. This marks Twain's third career residency, following her "Still the One" residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace (2012-14) and the more recent "Let's Go!" Residency at Zappos Theater in Planet Hollywood (2019-22).
Shania talked with Billboard about the new Las Vegas gig, saying she wants to "change things" up and "evolve." She noted that the whole theater would be her "playroom for a while." She also said that she loves doing residencies because she gets to "consistently build a show" that she doesn't have to worry about moving around.
Shania also said that It's a very different approach to production when you have the luxury of things being maybe a "little more fragile" that you couldn't take on the road. She loves that "controlled environment" and that the custom element of her production is a "luxury."
The new slate of shows will take place in May (10, 11, 15, 17, 18, 23, 25, and 26), August (23, 24, 29, and 31), September (1, 4, 6, and 7), November (29 and 30) and December (4, 6, 7, 11, 13 and 14). Tickets for the Vegas dates went on sale last week (8/21).
As Twain marks her 58th birthday with celebration today (8/28), we celebrate her music by ranking thirteen of her biggest and best songs in the last 30 years.

13. "Endless Love" (Lionel Richie featuring Shania Twain) – 2012
UMGThis is a remake but done so nicely by Twain and Richie who recorded it at Shania’s home in the Bahamas. Lionel Richie told me in an interview later that she was the hardest person to pin down when he decided to record his country collaboration album, Tuskegee. He also said that he was so happy with the final result of the duet.
12. "Whose Bed Have Your Boots Been Under?" – 1995
IMGReally the song that started it all for Shania who splashed onto the scene like a hurricane in 1995. Still a solid song to this day. Shania never misses a chance to sing this now classic in her concerts.
11. "The Woman in Me (Needs the Man in You)” – 1995
UMGThis is another song Shania wrote with her then-husband and producer Robert “Mutt” Lange. It was her third number-one single on country radio. The music video for "The Woman in Me" was shot in Cairo and Saqqara, Egypt. It was filmed during the first week of July 1995 and released on August 9, 1995 on CMT. In the video, Twain is riding around on a horse through the desert by the pyramids and riding a boat down the Nile River.
10. "(If You're Not in It for Love) I'm Outta Here!" - 1995
UMGHer fourth number one song and the first single promoted with several different mixes. "I'm Outta Here!" was later included on Twain's 2004 Greatest Hits package, and has been performed on all of her tours.
9. "God Bless the Child" – 1996
UMGA touching song that showed Shania’s softer side. Her eighth single from her ‘Woman In Me’ album, the video features two choirs. One included the Fisk University Jubilee Singers, and the second was a local performing arts choirs singing along with Twain in a hangar at the Nashville airport.
8. "Love Gets Me Every Time" – 1997
UMGThe lead single from Twain's third studio album "Come On Over."Twain developed the song at first and brought it to Lange under the title, "'Gol Darn Gone and Done It", which derived from a country expression. The name made Lange burst into laughter when he first heard it, and the couple completed the song together.
7. "Any Man of Mine" – 1995
UMGThis song was nominated for both Best Country Song and Best Female Country Vocal Performance at the 1996 Grammy Awards. It won Single of the Year at the Canadian Country Music Awards.
6. "Honey, I'm Home" – 1998
UMGThis one is freaking catchy. I’ve been singing it since I started this list. Is it fair to say the lyrics are super simple? Well, they are, and maybe that’s what appeals to me. The song became Shania's seventh, and to date, her final number-one single on the Billboard Country singles chart.
5. "That Don't Impress Me Much" – 1998
UMGAny song that mentions that Brad Pitt doesn’t “impress me much” is a winner for me. Yeah, I love Pitt, but this song has it all, and what a beat. In 2017, during a listening party for her fifth studio album Now, Twain revealed the reason behind using Brad Pitt's name instead of other male celebrities. She said that after she heard about the scandal between Pitt and Gwyneth Paltrow and the subsequent leaking of Pitt's naked photo in Playgirl magazine, she was left unimpressed by all the fuss as she felt that it was normal to see naked people.
4. "From This Moment On" – 1997
UMGWhat an emotional love song! This song was written during a soccer game in Italy. “My husband loves sports. I don't know the game that well, so my mind drifted, and I started writing." Initially, Shania thought that "From This Moment On" would be perfect for singer Celine Dion.
3. "No One Needs to Know" – 1996
UMGI have always loved the rhythm and the words of this song. She plays the song live in concert with just a twelve-string guitar. It is featured in the 1996 movie Twister.
2. "You're Still the One" – 1997
UMGSo very good. "You're Still the One" was nominated for four Grammy Awards in 1999, winning two. It won Best Country Song and Best Female Country Vocal Performance. Tim McGaw recently called it one of the best love songs ever written.
1."Man! I Feel Like a Woman!" – 1999
UMGAn epic anthem and the song that closes out every one of Shania’s shows. My son wasn’t even born till 2007, almost ten years after the song came out, and well, because of his mom, he knows every word.
