Shania Twain laughs off on-stage blunder
Shania Twain, the iconic country music star, recently had a hilarious on-stage mishap during her Las Vegas residency. The 58-year-old singer, known for her professionalism and charm, momentarily forgot which hand held her microphone while performing her hit song “(If You’re Not in It for Love) I’m Outta Here!” Instead of singing into the mic, she brought a drumstick prop to her lips, much to the amusement of the audience.
“Oh my God, that was hilarious,” Twain exclaimed into the microphone after realizing her mistake. A fan in the audience captured the moment on video, which quickly went viral. Twain herself shared the clip on Instagram, captioning it, “I’m really glad somebody captured this moment, it’s made me laugh all over again.”
Fans were quick to praise Twain for her genuine reaction and the proof that she was indeed singing live. Comments flooded in, with many noting how the incident showcased her authenticity. “That shows she is really singing live,” one user commented, while another added, “Proof she isn’t lip-syncing.”
Twain’s Las Vegas residency, “Come On Over,” at Planet Hollywood, has been a hit with fans. The residency, which kicked off last month, is set to run until December. Twain has been sharing glimpses of her pre-show routine, which includes an all-liquid diet to avoid any distractions while singing. “If I eat any solids hours before the show, I’ll have to burp,” Twain told People magazine. “It’s just a nightmare because you have to sing around the burp, and it’s distracting in itself. So I usually don’t eat any solids at all on show days until after the show, only liquids.”
In addition to her diet, Twain follows an intense exercise routine to maintain her stamina for the performances. “I am an athlete, I have to breathe, I have to project,” she told The Sun. “I have to pace everything.”
The singer’s candid moment on stage has only endeared her more to her fans. Many took to social media to express their admiration for her ability to laugh at herself and continue the show seamlessly. “The way you flawlessly continued this is amazing and purely in the moment,” one fan commented. Another added, “This video will live rent-free in my head for the rest of my life, thank you for this perfect content.”
Twain’s residency has been filled with memorable moments, both on and off stage. She recently spoke with People magazine about feeling “comfortable” with the crowd and the environment in Las Vegas. “I’m comfortable with the environment and I feel friendly with everybody, so I feel at home,” she said.
The singer also opened up about her approach to aging, revealing that she embraces her natural appearance. “Every month or day that I may notice another sag or another bit of cellulite, I want to know it’s there. I want to be okay with it instead of thinking, ‘I have to cover it up’ or not to look,” she told The Sun. Despite her words, some fans have noted that she looks unrecognizable in recent photos, sparking discussions about her appearance.
Twain’s ability to connect with her audience, both through her music and her candid moments, has solidified her status as a beloved performer. Her Las Vegas residency continues to draw fans from all over, eager to see her perform live and perhaps witness another charming mishap.
As Twain continues her residency, fans can look forward to more unforgettable performances and candid moments. Her ability to laugh at herself and keep the show going is a testament to her professionalism and charisma. Whether she’s singing into a drumstick or belting out her hits, Shania Twain remains a true entertainer.
