Let’s go, girls, guys, and every rhinestone-studded fan. Last night, Shania Twain brought the glitter, grit, and decades of country-pop bangers to the first of two shows at Hard Rock Live in Hollywood. And in true Twain fashion, she owned the room.

Taking the stage at exactly 8:34 p.m., Twain appeared in silver sequined boots, yes – New Times was able to get that close! – jean shorts, and a matching sparkle-drenched jacket. The outfit shimmered under the lights as she launched into “Rock This Country!” backed by her band dressed in crisp white. The visual balance gave Twain the center stage she commands and deserves.

Fresh off a long-running Las Vegas residency, the show was tight to perfection. At times, it bordered on over-rehearsed, but Twain’s natural charisma kept it from feeling sterile. She cracked smiles, tossed out high karate kicks, and let fans know she was genuinely enjoying herself. There was some crowd interaction, too.

The setlist was pure nostalgia gold. Twain breezed through fan favorites like “Don’t Be Stupid (You Know I Love You),” “Up!,” “You Win My Love,” “I’m Gonna Getcha Good!,” and the newer “Waking Up Dreaming,” released in 2023 as a single from her Queen of Me album. “From This Moment On” slowed things down, giving fans a moment to catch their breath, and maybe shed a tear or two. And of course, “Man! I Feel Like a Woman!” hit hard, prompting an arena-wide sing-along.

The crowd brought their A-game too, donning cowboy hats, fringe, and bedazzled denim. Homemade signs declared devotion to the Canadian queen, and the energy in the room was palpable. Everyone – from longtime fans to newcomers raised on ’90s playlists – was there to celebrate a living legend.

Twain, who turns 60 later this month, showed no signs of slowing down. With minimal props, she relied on her voice, stage presence, and catalog of hits to carry the night, and it worked, proving that she’s still the one.
