Let’s go, girls…
Shania Twain kicked off the weekend by unveiling the name of her upcoming album and tour: “Queen of Me.” The album is set to debut on February 3, and the tour — which comes at the heels of Twain’s jaw-dropping Las Vegas residency and includes dozens of stops worldwide — kicks off in late April of 2023.
“These days, I'm feeling very comfortable in my own skin - and I think this album reflects that musically,” Twain shared as she made her announcement on Friday (October 28). “Life is short and I want to be uplifted, colorful, unapologetic and empowered. I want to carry a clear message, particularly as a woman, to always remember my power and I hope the songs are a reminder to you, of that same power inside you!”
Queen of Me is set to include a few previously-released songs on the 12-track project, including “Not Just A Girl” and “Waking Up Dreaming,” Twain’s latest single that she released in September. The country music icon said at the time that she “had to give you some more outfit inspo” with the vibrant music video, and hoped, as with all her music, fans would “take it and make it your own.”
The global “Queen of Me Tour” is set to include special guests on select dates, including Kelsea Ballerini, Lindsay Ell, Hailey Whitters, Breland, Robyn Ottolini, Priscilla Block, and Mickey Guyton. One of Twain’s tour stops is at GEODIS Park in Nashville, Tennessee, where she’ll headline the first-ever concert at the new venue. Ballerini and Breland are set to join the country queen on that date.
“I want to celebrate this new chapter with you all on my tour!” Twain continued. “Vegas has been a dream, but I’m ready to be on the road and sing with you, dance with you and have a kick a** night out with you! This one's gonna be a big party - no inhibitions, no conditions, let's get a little out of line!!
“I’ll be Queen Of Me – you be Queen of YOU! 👑”
