Shania Twain has hailed her Glastonbury legends slot as a "once in a lifetime invite" while reflecting on the challenges of being a woman in music. The country superstar, 58, will take to the Pyramid Stage later this month for the coveted legends slot at the iconic festival. Over the years, the likes of Diana Ross and Johnny Cash have performed in the slot.
The Man! I Feel Like A Woman! hitmaker has now revealed she was waiting on the edge of her seat for her stint to be confirmed. Shania is on the star-studded lineup alongside headliners Dua Lipa , SZA , and Coldplay , as well as 00s pop star Avril Lavigne, the eclectic mix of LCD Soundsystem, Burna Boy, and Cyndi Lauper . Speaking of getting the legends slot, Shania said: "My manager said, 'I wouldn't be surprised if that comes up," but it's an invite that feels like a once-in-a-lifetime thing.
I was on the edge of my seat until it became a reality." "Other people who have played the slot, like Lionel Richie and Dolly Parton, are musicians I'm heavily influenced by and look up to," she told Radio Times . Shania has never headed to Worthy Farm before and admitted she is feeling "excited but nervous".
She is planning to cheer on her fellow Canadian Avril Lavigne and hopes to catch Coldplay and Cyndi Lauper. The That Don’t Impress Me Much star reflected on her career and how she started out performing when she was just eight-years-old. It meant that by the time she got her record deal in Nashville, she was "fearless".
