Following the presentation of the Equal Play Award to Twain by the “Body” rapper at the CMT Music Awards held in Austin, Texas on Sunday, Entertainment Tonight caught up with country star Shania Twain During the interview, Twain shared her excitement about meeting Megan and revealed her desire to collaborate with the rapper.
“I love her. What a sweetheart,” the 57-year-old “Giddy Up!” performer told the outlet. “We were sitting together in the audience. We really gelled very well. I really love her as a person.”
“She’s a great talent. I was just glad she didn’t ask me to twerk out there, you know? I would’ve had to say no. That I cannot do,” added Twain. “She was amazing and said so many sweet things. I was really flattered that she was there for me.”
Subsequently, the Grammy award-winning artist expressed her interest in a potential musical collaboration with Megan, who is 28 years old. “I was thinking that,” she explained. “I think that would really work… I love her whole mind.”
In addition to Megan, Shania Twain has recently expressed her desire to work with other artists as well. During the same Entertainment Tonight interview, she mentioned that she would be open to collaborating with Alanis Morissette– “We’ve crossed paths so many times over the years, and we just never did work together. We should, of course, as fellow Canadians.”
In an interview with People at the 2023 Grammys in February, Shania Twain expressed her desire to work with young artists who have drawn inspiration from her music and revealed her interest in hitting the studio with them.
“It’s true that I haven’t done a lot of collaborating. I’ve always written music that I’ve recorded myself for the most part, like pretty much 99.9% of the time,” said the star. “But at this point, I’d love to just have more fun getting together with other artists.”
Having collaborated with Kelsea Ballerini and shared the stage with Harry Styles at Coachella, Shania Twain acknowledged that numerous artists have told her they grew up listening to her music.
“I’m running into a lot of young artists now that were little kids when my first albums came out, so I feel like I’m having a reunion with them, and we can have adult conversations,” she continued. “They’re not 6 anymore. They’re all grown-up! So, I think that would be really surreal thing to do, would be to collab with some of these kids that aren’t kids anymore.”
In that very same interview, Shania Twain also expressed her admiration for Beyoncé and her desire to work with her, stating that she would “absolutely” love the opportunity as she finds the R&B superstar to be “so extraordinary.”
