<\/p>\n

When Shania Twain kicked off her Manchester show from a spot hidden deep in the AO Arena crowd, so began a show full of surprises. There was the fan-designed outfit, a pink rhinestone two-piece sent to her by a local young designer. There was an on-stage proposal – which caught even Shania herself off guard. And there was the original outfit from the 1997 Man I Feel Like A Woman video, a structured black bustier which looked just as good as it did over two decades ago. \u201cIt\u2019s in better shape than I am, because it\u2019s been preserved in a museum for 26 years,\u201d joked Shania, who recently celebrated her third UK number one album with Queen of Me.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

It was around 30 seconds into the first song (Waking Up Dreaming) that I Googled \u2018how old is Shania Twain\u2019. And, fact fans, she is 58. Fifty eight. Fifty eight and still selling out arena tours. Fifty eight and with more energy than I have, standing still in the crowd. Shania Twain is endlessly impressive. <\/span><\/p>\n

Starting her set with Up!, Don\u2019t Be Stupid (You Know I Love You) and earworm I\u2019m Gonna Getcha Good! it was clear that the singer came to have a good time. <\/span><\/p>\n

Indeed Shania\u2019s 20-song-strong setlist was campy, quirky and gave the fans exactly what they wanted – the hits. <\/span><\/p>\n

And they were all in there – You\u2019re Still The One, From This Moment On and Forever And For Always came one by one like musical wrecking balls, to the delight of the cowboy-hat-donned, leopard-print-clad crowd. Inhale\/Exhale Air, her new release, sung with upcoming artist Breland, was a highlight too.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

No matter the song, Shania\u2019s voice was the star – powerful and expansive, with her trademark country twang. <\/span><\/p>\n

Yet behind the music, the staging was intriguing. Basic, almost budget, it was sparse, with just some steps and a large screen at the back onto which bad graphics – to the theme of cowboys in space – were played. Two dancers, who doubled as backing singers, worked hard for their money, filling the interludes with back flips and high kicks in a slightly chaotic fashion. <\/span><\/p>\n

My pet hate is audience participation, of which there was a lot. My view is that I want to hear the artist sing, not myself, who can barely hold a note. But there was something endearing about the way Shania played with the 21,000-strong Manchester crowd, so I\u2019ll forgive her this once. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

As the encore rolled around, a smattering of leopard print revealed what was coming. And, to the surprise of absolutely no-one, That Don\u2019t Impress Me Much and Man I Feel Like A Woman were the songs of the night. As we left, the choruses were still being sung in the streets. <\/span><\/p>\n

Campy, colourful and confident – with a smattering of chaos thrown in – our night with Shania was a right old knees up – and a whole lot of fun.<\/p>\n
