It’s well-known that Shania Twain is at an important point in her career. The Canadian songstress is preparing to end touring for good. She is far from retiring though! She is currently working on a new album that will start the next chapter of a very successful country music career.
She’s almost finished writing the songs for her new album and she’ll start recording it in the fall after she finishes her upcoming tour.
After spending the better part of two years performing as a resident at Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas, the 49-year-old Twain will be taking her show on the road. It be her first and last series of concerts in 11 years.
Having wrapped up two weeks of rehearsals in Sin City, Shania kicks off her final road tour on Friday, June 5 in Seattle and winds things down in Toronto in October. She promises to play all her hits on tour, but warns the production will be tilted toward the rock side, including a new version of “Party for Two,” her hit duet with Billy Currington . She’s still entertaining the idea of debuting some of her new material on the road.
“I felt like I was going to accomplish everything I needed to accomplish, and what else was there left to do after Las Vegas? It was such a pinnacle moment in my performing career,” Twain tells Entertainment Weekly.
“It was a huge mountain for me to climb because I hadn’t been on stage in a long time, and I felt like I had arrived once I achieved that. I feel very satisfied after doing that. I’ve got so many things I want to do and not enough time to do them.”
When asked about planning her upcoming tour, Twain says “I normally just start with a theme. What theme do I want? People want to hear the hits, so they’re going to get that. I wanted it to be a rock show. There are so many guitars in all the songs. So when I say a rock show, the music is still what it is. It’s not like now I’m just making all the songs rock, they are what they are. But the theme is a more straightforward rocking spectacle. The contemporary side is more the technology and what we can bring to the stage as far as gadgets. I told the director the theme I want, and we went from there with all the latest and greatest technology.”
