Shania Twain, the queen of country pop, stole the show on Thursday night at the People’s Country Choice Awards, rocking a striking custom-made denim two-piece that had everyone talking. The 59-year-old superstar turned heads with her 1960s-inspired blonde bombshell hairstyle, accentuating her light brown eyes and leaving fans in awe as she graced the red carpet.
Twain arrived at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, Tennessee, exuding confidence in the sparkling denim ensemble she helped design. "I was involved with the sketches and the design... to me, that’s the joy," Twain told *E! News* on the red carpet. "It’s not about putting on something amazing—it’s about being part of it."
Sporting a short blonde bob, the singer's look sparked mixed reactions, but her fans rushed to her defense. "Shania in her unapologetic era. Love that for mother," one fan wrote on social media, while another highlighted Twain's resilience through tough times, including losing her voice and undergoing open-throat surgery in 2018.
The night was particularly special for Twain, who not only hosted the award show at the iconic Grand Ole Opry House but was also nominated for the prestigious Concert Tour of 2024. Competing with country heavyweights like Tim McGraw, Luke Combs, and Morgan Wallen, Twain drew inspiration from fellow country legend Reba McEntire, praising her as a role model for hosting.
Twain’s journey has been filled with both triumphs and challenges. In 2003, she contracted Lyme disease, which damaged her vocal cords, leading to her surgery in 2018. Last year, she revealed a harrowing experience with COVID-19 and pneumonia, which resulted in her being airlifted to a hospital. Despite these health battles, Twain returned stronger, releasing her sixth studio album, *Queen of Me*, in February 2023 and landing a Las Vegas residency.
“It’s great to be just singing again, on a tour with my new voice after my surgery,” Twain said, reflecting on her health struggles and the joy of performing once more. “I’m in a very celebratory state of mind.”
