Shania Twain had one of the wildest calendar conflicts of the year. Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce tied the knot at Madison Square Garden in July, and Shania wasn’t there. Her reason: she was already booked to perform with Harry Styles at Wembley Stadium that exact night. She told Us Weekly she’d committed to Harry first, and she would never go back on a commitment.
She also admitted she hasn’t sent Taylor and Travis a wedding gift yet, which she laughed off during the interview. So while the rest of us were refreshing photos from the reception, Shania was on a stadium stage in London. Fair trade? That’s for you to decide.
The timing is actually great for her, because Shania has a lot going on. Her seventh album, Little Miss Twain, arrived in July. She linked up with Zedd for a new version of“You’re Still the One”made for Candy Crush. And she says recording in the studio with Harry Styles would be a dream come true. Two icons, one Wembley stage, and maybe a future collab? We’re listening.
Would you skip a friend’s wedding for a gig you’d already committed to? Tell us in the comments.
