SHANIA TWAIN ARRIVED at this year’s 2022 People’s Choice Awards to perform her ’90s country-pop smashes, “That Don’t Impress Me Much” and “Man! I Feel Like a Woman!”
The Canadian country superstar also received the Music Icon award for her record-breaking hits and immeasurable impact on generations of artists.
“Reba’s brand was ‘somebody should leave,’ Trisha’s was a little ‘please don’t leave’ and Faith had ‘no one would ever leave me, obviously,’” singer-songwriter Caitlin Rose once told Rolling Stone,
“but Shania’s brand was, ‘I will take no shit and all of your money, thanks!’ and it worked. Nobody stepped on Shania, especially not the men in her songs.”
Her performance also included her 1995 Billboard Hot 100 hit “Any Man of Mine” and her latest single “Waking Up Dreaming” – her first new music since 2017, when she released the Number One album Now.
When accepting her award from Billy Porter, the icon delivered a heartfelt speech about how her fans have helped her feel loved since the passing of her mother.
“I always miss my mother right now at these moments in life. She would have loved watching her little girl living this moment right now,” said Shania.
She also shared words of advice for her fans: “Embrace your individuality and your crazy ideas. Just be brave.
Let’s remember, there is power in numbers, we are in this together, love is love, and when a door slams in your face, take a freaking run and leap at your door and kick it down! You won’t regret it.”
