"I'm sorry y'all, but that is NOT Shania Twain," <a href="https://x.com/MKMG42/status/1839471589613613541">panned</a> a commenter on X (previously Twitter). "Not a fan of the hair" went another <a href="https://x.com/HCchillman/status/1839447081850896734">thumbs-down</a>. But some fans did praise her. "Both classy and funny, it's totally Shania Twain!" <a href="https://x.com/KVolcanicrock/status/1839449167166677203">said</a> one. (They did, however, add a rather backhanded comment about Twain wisely hiding her age behind the gloves and large collar).</p><p>Following through on her glam-nostalgia theme, <a href="https://www.thelist.com/201670/the-untold-truth-of-shania-twain/">county superstar Shania Twain</a> continued to shine through the entire broadcast of the People's Choice Country Music Awards. After doing a cold open in a fringed white cowgirl ensemble, Twain changed into the outfit she famously wore in her "Man! I Feel Like a Woman!" music video, complete with the top hat. "@ShaniaTwain in a top hat. That's it. That's the tweet," <a href="https://x.com/MarensGIRLs/status/1839463604057497846">swooned</a> an X user.
