"She certainly appeared to be back in fine form as Saturday's marathon 20-plus song set made abundantly clear." - Vancouver Sun

"Shania now is every bit as good as Shania then." - Vancouver Sun

"Over two hours of spectacle, this was the best I've ever seen Twain, even compared to the mid-'90s, and it's just a delight to witness her confidence and skill underlining something a lot of us have known for a long time: she's a total survivor." - Edmonton Journal

"After a 15-year absence, Shania Twain stepped back into the spotlight at Rogers Arena last night (May 5) like she never left." - Vancouver Weekly

"The country legend can still put on a show to remember even after performing for 25 years." - BeatRoute Magazine

Earlier this month, it was announced that the country music trailblazer will be taking part in the new USA Network Country Music Showcase Series "Real Country", alongside country sensation Jake Owen. Each week, Twain and Owen will hand-select emerging solo artists, duos and groups to perform in showcases in Nashville. The series will film this summer in Nashville and will premiere in Fall 2018. Twain will also be hosting the 2018 Canadian Country Music Awards at the FirstOntario Centre in Hamilton on Sunday, September 9th at 8 PM EST/5 PM PST live on CBC.
