Shania Twain jokingly told BBC Breakfast on Wednesday that she loves animals, especially horses, and hopes to borrow one to ride to her Glastonbury show.
When asked if she'd bring a horse on stage, Shania Twain replied, "I could, but I need to check if it's allowed. If it is, I'll do it."
Shania Twain, who loves horses, often shares TikTok videos of her riding. In 2012, she made a splash riding with 40 horses down the Las Vegas strip to announce a concert residency. In her music video for the 2005 song "Don't!" she rides on horseback, and in 2020, she serenaded a horse with acoustic versions of "Honey I'm Home" and "Man! I Feel Like a Woman." Her recent tour even featured a horse-shaped motorbike as a stage prop.
Shania Twain, 58, will perform in Glastonbury's coveted "legends" slot on Sunday afternoon, a tradition that draws some of the festival's biggest crowds. Past legends include Dolly Parton, Lionel Richie, Diana Ross, and Tom Jones.
Shania Twain's music career started in 1993, but she broke through in the UK in 1997 with the Top 5 hit "Don't Be Stupid (You Know I Love You)." Her album "Come On Over" spawned five Top 10 singles including "That Don't Impress Me Much" and "You're Still the One." Her next album "Up!" in 2002 also produced three Top 10 hits. While her success on the UK singles chart has slowed, her fan base remains strong, and her recent albums "Now" and "Queen of Me" both reached No. 1.
During her tour for the album "Queen of Me" last year, Shania Twain received a glowing review from The Guardian for her Glasgow show, earning four stars. They described it as a two-hour spectacle filled with hits, wild cowboy and alien themes, and a powerful display of self-assurance.
Speaking to BBC Breakfast, Shania Twain expressed her enthusiasm for performing crowd-pleasers at Glastonbury: "I want to sing along with everyone, be part of their experience, and play all the familiar hits they know and love."
Shania Twain mentioned she's deciding which wellies to bring, joking about having several pairs at home. Fortunately, the weather forecast predicts mostly dry conditions at the typically rainy Worthy Farm site, which should be a relief for her.
Shania Twain also shared some tent advice: "Don't try to be a hero. Just go for a pop-up."
