Shania Twain Puts Rumors to Rest, Announces 2023 Nashville Show

Man, it feels like Shania Twain is everywhere these days! After releasing a new track " Waking Up Dreaming " in September, the country singer has announced she's doing a special show in Nashville next summer.

Rumors about upcoming shows had been swirling online, which Twain admits has been fun to watch.

"There’s been a few rumors in the press about what’s coming next from me - It’s been fun to watch," Twain writes on social media with a crying laughing emoji. "Well I am here to officially confirm ONE of those rumors... NASHVILLE, won’t you wake up dreaming with me, @kelseaballerini and @breland at @geodispark on June 7th 2023??"

Kelsea Ballerini  and  Breland  will join the "You're Still the One" singer as special guests for the show.

Ballerini was on hand to honor Twain at the ACM Honors in August with a performance of "Man, I Fell Like a Woman" as she received the ACM Poet's Award. She also donned Twain's iconic 1999 Grammy gown on the red carpet.

Breland is also a big fan of Twain's: His song "Natural" is an ode to the veteran singer-songwriter and brings a "Man, I Feel Like a Woman" vibe. He also shared on social media earlier this year that he has the perfect song for Twain to be featured on. Perhaps that will become a reality with this show announcement?

Next summer's show is the first show announcement for Twain since wrapping up her Let's Go! Las Vegas residency on Sept. 10 at Zappos Theater.

Twain's new song "Waking Up Dreaming" is her first musical offering since 2017. It feels like a new era for the "I'm Gonna Getcha Good" singer, who has also taken on some acting roles recently, including a cameo in FOX's new show Monarch and as Mrs. Potts in a live-action  Beauty and the Beast,  set to air on ABC on Dec. 15.

Tickets for Twain's Nashville show will be available on Friday, Oct. 28.

Of the new album — her first since 2017’s Now — Twain said the songs will reflect her current state of mind.

“ Right now, I’m feeling very comfortable in my own skin — and this album reflects that musically,” she shared. “Life is short and I want to be uplifted, colourful, unapologetic and empowered. ”

She continued, “ I want to carry a clear message, particularly as a woman, to always remember my power and I hope the songs are a reminder to you, of that same power inside you! ”

To coincide with the tour and album news, the Grammy-winning music icon released the anthemic new single, Last Day of Summer .

“This new record is fun and celebrative, really on the other side of Now ,” Twain told Rina Sawayama in a recent Rolling Stone Musicians on Musicians interview . “I’m happy in my own skin. I’m celebrating that feeling, less apologetic for who I am and what I’ve become. This is me, and I like myself.”

Shania twain drops new song, 'waking up dreaming': watch the music video.

Twain said the song is "just the start" of a "new chapter."

Let's go, girls! Shania Twain's newest song, "Waking Up Dreaming," is finally here.

After announcing the tune on Monday, the Canadian superstar dropped the track -- and its accompanying music video -- on Friday.

The dance-worthy song has a throwback and upbeat feel to it and the music video and puts her in a variety of colorful wigs and outfits -- all while rocking some crazy-long eyelashes.

When discussing the arrival of "Waking Up Dreaming" on Monday, Twain said she gets "such a rush of adrenaline and nerves" when announcing new music, adding that the feeling "never gets old."

"I've spent the last couple years working away on new music ... on my documentary ... on the Vegas residency and it's been such a creatively fulfilling time for me," she said at the time. "I can't wait for this next chapter and 'Waking Up Dreaming' is just the start."

In the promotional image shared with the announcement, a seemingly topless Twain is seen wearing a white skirt and boots with various shades of pink while topping the look off with a cowboy hat.

If the song were to be the lead single off her next album, "Waking Up Dreaming" would kick off Twain's sixth studio album -- her first since 2017's "Now."

Shania Twain returns with electrifying comeback single ‘Waking Up Dreaming’

  • By Connor Gotto
  • September 19, 2022

Shania Twain Waking Up Dreaming

Shania Twain is back with her brand new single Waking Up Dreaming . 

The country-pop superstar took to social media to announce the track as she enters the “next chapter” of her career. 

“Every time I get to announce something like this I get such a rush of adrenaline and nerves – it never gets old,” she penned.

“I am super excited to share with you that my new song ‘Waking Up Dreaming’ is coming out this Friday!! 

“I’ve spent the last couple years working away on new music… on my documentary… on the Vegas residency and it’s been such a creatively fulfilling time for me, I can’t wait for this next chapter and Waking Up Dreaming is just the start.⁠”

The  Honey I’m Home  star recently teased new material in her  Netflix documentary film ‘Not Just A Girl’ , which saw her in the studio in London finishing work on tracks for the project. 

“I am here in London finishing my album – and getting with some great UK talent and creatives,” she teases, before offering a look into studio sessions with producer Mark Ralph.

In addition to her soundtrack release  Not Just A Girl , Shania has worked with the songwriter and producer on further tracks for the project, two of which she previewed in the film. 

‘I’m not a girl / I’m not a boy / I’m not a baby / I’m not a toy / I’m a queen’ , she sings on one number, on which she declares herself the  ‘queen of me’ . 

“It’s uplifting. It’s still a lot of female point of view,” she adds of the new material. “I’m more swinging back into the space of, I don’t even want to say ‘female empowerment’, but self-empowerment. 

“I mean, I’m a woman but I’m just feeling very good in my own skin and less apologetic than ever. I’m good, you know. Unless something else knocks me down along the way, but like I always do I think I’ll just get back up again.”

A release date for Shania’s sixth studio album has yet to be confirmed. ‘Not Just A Girl’ is streaming on Netflix now.

Shania Twain Talks Inspiration Behind Topless Cover Art For Single “Waking Up Dreaming”

SUNDAY TODAY WITH WILLIE GEIST -- Pictured: Shania Twain on Mar. 8, 2020 --

(Photo by: Mike Smith/NBC/NBCU Photo Bank via Getty Images)

Shania Twain has been making massive statements since 1993, when she first released her debut single, “ What Made You Say That .” Not much has changed for the top-selling female country artist, as she still marches to the beat of her own drum and takes risks. 

The legend caught up with “ The Sun ” to discuss the risqué cover art for her recently released (Sept. 23) track, “ Waking Up Dreaming .” The eye-catching snapshot features the singer-songwriter shirtless, covering her top half and sporting a white silk button-down around her waist. To bring her ‘80s-country flair to the forefront – Twain slipped on groovy multi-colored stilettos, that match perfectly with the title of the single printed in script.  

The “ I'm Gonna Getcha Good ” trailblazer said it was her idea to go topless in the shoot to stress body positivity. 

“I styled that photograph myself. It was all about taking off the bra, taking off the shirt, tying the shirt around my waist,” Twain explained to the publication. “This is a statement of being comfortable in my own skin and just being really myself,” she noted. 

With every brave move, comes critics. However, Twain revealed that she doesn’t let the hateful comments or backlash get under her skin. 

“You have to be strong,” uttered the fearless hitmaker. “I never really get angry with criticism. You can’t please everybody, that’s normal.” 

The same free-spirited mentality is displayed in the “ Waking Up Dreaming ” music video, where the 57-year-old shows off her glamorous superstar side. Throughout the attention-grabbing clip, Twain channels her internal ‘80s rocker with outrageous wardrobe changes. While delivering the country-pop anthem, Twain intermingles with her bandmates in a retro-style green room and makes her way into the limelight to display her powerhouse vocals in a fire red wig. 

“So let’s start wakin’ up dreamin’ | And dress up crazy like superstars| There ain’t no shakin’ this feelin’ | Tonight, we’re makin’ our way to Mars | Way up higher than we’ve ever been| No, we won’t stop at the ceilin’ | So let’s keep wakin’ up dreamin’” she sings while embracing pure moments with her devoted entourage. 

Twain penned the playlist-worthy anthem alongside critically acclaimed songsmiths David Stewart and Jessica Agombar. “Waking Up Dreaming” serves as Twain’s debut single with Republic Nashville and first single since 2017. Twain called in friend and frequent collaborator Marc Bouwer to turn her rock ‘n’ roll vision into a reality in the state-of-the-clip. 

“She really loves having me on the set, and we really have become close collaborative friends,” Bouwer told ‘ WWD .’ “I have traveled all over the world with her. We shot ’Ka-Ching!’ and ‘Up’ in Madrid and then ‘I’m Going to Get You Good’ in London.”

The South African fashion designer is Twain’s go-to stylish and has worked closely on her “ Come on Over ,” “ From This Moment On ,” “ That Don’t Impress Me Much ,” and “ Man! I Feel Like a Woman ” music videos. To push the narrative along, Bouwer dressed Twain in three eye-catching ensembles that respect late musicians Prince, David Bowie, Debbie Harry, and Cyndi Lauper. The group shot the film at a Toronto studio with director Isaac Rentz. 

“ Waking Up Dreaming ” marks the first single from her forthcoming collection. She classified the highly anticipated project as “very chirpy,” “very frank,” and an overall “happy album.” The vocalist has not confirmed the official release date.

Shania Twain Opens Up About ‘How Good It Felt’ Posing Topless: ‘I‘m Comfortable in My Own Skin’

"This is me expressing my truth," the star explained of her "Waking Up Dreaming" art.

The best thing about bein’ a woman is the prerogative to have confidence in your body, no matter what stage of life you’re in. That’s exactly how Shania Twain feels, anyway.

Shania Twain Excited About ‘Queen of Me’ Ushering in ‘Renaissance’ Period: ‘I Feel a Renewed…

“I think the best fashion is confidence, and whatever you wear — if you’re wearing it with that, it’s fashionable,” she continued. “I am a woman in my late 50s, and I don’t need to hide behind the clothes. I can’t even tell you how good it felt to do nude shooting. I was just so unashamed of my new body, you know, as a woman that is well into my menopause. I’m not even emotional about it; I just feel OK about it. It’s really liberating.”

Though she has had her struggles with self-image, according to People , Twain has projected confidence in her body since the beginning of her career. In the music video for her 1993 single “What Made You Say That,” for example, she went braless. But now, she’s learning to carry that confidence into her late 50s.

“From the very beginning — the very first video — I was ditching the bra,” she told the publication. “But, I was a lot firmer then, so as I grew older, I started feeling a different pressure of, ‘Well, your breasts are not as plump as they used to be. Your skin is not as tight as it used to be. Maybe you should start covering it up a little bit more.'”

“I hit this wall and was like, ‘Whoa, my confidence is regressing,'” she added. “‘My courage is dulling. Why am I allowing this? Frig that.’ I am not regressing. I am embracing my body as it changes, as I should have from my childhood to my teens, as I should be from my taut 20s and 30-year-old self, to my menopausal body. I’m not going to be shy about it. I want to be courageous about it, and I want to share that courage in the artwork that I am directing.”
