Who Is On Tour With Shania Twain?
Shania Twain Tickets is on her Queen of Me Tour, and this tour started in April 2022. Following the COVID-19 pandemic that saw her cancel and reschedule her tour dates consecutively in the last couple of years, Shania is now touring and entertaining her fans. And with her on tour are some other artists as opening acts and guest performers.
The simple fact is that one of the main opening acts for the Queen of Me Tour, which Shania embarked on to promote the album of the same name, is none other than Kelsea Ballerini, an American country singer. The Grammy-nominated Ballerini started her career in 2015 with the song Love Me Like You Mean It and has continued her success with songs such as Peter Pan, Legends, and Half of My Hometown. Its pop-country sound perfectly fits in with the discography of Shania, who is famous for her country-pop music. It is refreshing that Shania is able to invite an up-and-coming female artist like Ballerini to open for her; thus, she is able to hand over the torch to the new generation of country-pop singers.
On other dates, Canadian pop artist Lindsay Ell is opening for Shania. Ell’s debut in the music industry was in 2017 as the first female country artist to enter the Top 20 on country radio with her tune Crimson Red. Born into a musical family and learning to play the guitar at a young age, Ell delivers great musicianship and excitement to get the audience going with an assurance of great country, rock, and blues. She is another ideal candidate for stirring up the audience with her beautiful voice, amazing soul, and remarkable songs.
Apart from two chief opening acts, Shania has hired some seasoned country vocalists to open as guests at some of the performances. This includes artists such as Travis Tritt, Terri Clark, and Pam Tillis. These veterans of the stage have approximately hundreds of records that have topped the charts, and they have sold millions of records. They back her up for a few songs and let her pay homage to those who have influenced country music. Their voices harmonizing with Shania on duets are some of the highlights that the audience gets to enjoy.
Another special guest Shania has been taking on tour is Lindsay Ell. She also came on other shows to perform Dancing With My Eyes Shut as she had in Elle King, even if Ell is not in the show as an opener. The fast-tempo song is always sure to put the audience in their dancing shoes. When Ell is opening the show, other guests have included Martina McBride, another country artist from Shania. It is evident why Shania gathers such talented performers, as two powerful voices are enough to demonstrate an incredible duet together.
Fans are also waiting for more contemporary artists to join the stage as well. There have been rumors that pop singer Kelsea Ballerini or the new country music star Tenille Townes may perform a song at some point in the tour. Although none of them are confirmed to be opening for Shania, these rising talents that listed her as a musical influence could be entertaining if they were to share the stage with her one day.
And of course, it wouldn't quite feel like a Shania Twain concert without an appearance from her most frequent special guest and one of her best friends, Lionel Richie. The legendary singer who co-wrote and co-produced Shania’s famous You’re Still The One song has been performing with her in recent years. It’s not just the duet of Endless Love or the electrifying performance of All Night Long that is on everyone’s lips; Lionel Richie’s cameo is always a game changer. Every night, fans are expecting the renowned singer to come out again in preparation for another spectacular performance.
Indeed, with all that extraordinary backing cast, it leaves no doubt whatsoever that Shania Twain is not going to be out on the road all by herself. She has featured some of the most talented artists of different generations and in different music genres. Swinging between the stars of the show and newcomers, singers who are closely associated with traditional country music and those who are more pop-oriented, her openers, special guests, and potential surprise guests form a diverse musical background. It reflects her establishment of a distinct career that crosses over subgenres as well as national borders. This means that with every tour date guaranteeing that the audience will be different, fans and followers have even more reasons to attend as many performances as possible. The Queen of Country Pop has crafted an event where the audience never knows what to expect. But one thing is certain: with Shania at the wheel, it’s going to be an unforgettable concert of an evening.
