Shannen Twain has built a reputation for herself as one of the most professional and prominent country-pop singers throughout the course of her more than thirty-year career.
The 58-year-old Canadian singer is now living in Las Vegas and managing her most recent residency, Shania Twain: Come On Over — The Las Vegas Residency — All The Hits!, which has already had a thrilling beginning.
Shania has been offering up personal moments along with eye-catching attire in her most recent run of shows, which began last month and are scheduled to run through December.
A video of the star’s on-stage moment from a recent performance attracted fans’ attention, and it immediately became viral and circulated around the internet.
She was singing “(If You’re Not in It for Love) I’m Outta Here!” from her 1995 album. During her drum solo, Shania played half of the song with a drumstick in her hand, joining her background drummers.
She did, however, mistake the drumstick for her microphone just before the chorus and attempt to sing through it. As soon as she understood what she had done wrong, she sought to swiftly backpedal and right herself.
Of course, as charismatic as always, Shania was left in hysterics by the incident on stage, bending over in laughter and shouting out: “Oh my god! That was hilarious!”
The singer took it in good spirits, singing out of her drumstick a couple more times for comedic effect while seamlessly carrying on the show and continuing to giggle throughout. A fan captured the moment on video and shared it on social media, and it quickly began sparking up a frenzy.
Fans found Shania’s reaction to the gaff extremely charming, while many also took it, at the very least, as an indicator that she was in fact singing completely live, and composed herself rapidly enough to keep going.
A week after the video was first shared, the “You’re Still the One” singer posted the clip on social media herself and reacted to the blunder, writing: “I’m really glad somebody captured this moment, it’s made me laugh all over again.”
The singer’s followers reacted to her clip with comments like: “The way you flawlessly continued this is amazing and purely in the moment,” and: “This video will live rent free in my head for the rest of my life, thank you for this perfect content,” as well as: “Hahahah what a way to wanna be!!”
Shania spoke with People the day after kicking off her residency on May 10 at the Bakkt Theater in Planet Hollywood and gushed about feeling “comfortable” with the crowd. “I’m comfortable with the environment and I feel friendly with everybody, so I feel at home.”
And how did she feel about opening night? “I’m not just relieved, I’m really happy…I was really able to enjoy the adrenaline, because adrenaline can also throw you off.”
