This weekend, Shania Twain gave fans a fright when she took a tumble on stage at the Credit Union 1 Amphitheater in Tinley Park, Illinois. But, in true Shania style, the 57-year-old recovered from the mishap like a pro. She was performing her 1997 song Don't Be Stupid when she made her way to the side of the stage to be closer to the audience.
Her right foot skidded on the slippery stage and down she went! But, somehow, Shania didn't miss a note. She gracefully got back up and laughed off the awkward moment, cautiously testing the friction of the slippery spot on the stage before smashing through the rest of her set and putting on a killer show.
According to TMZ, Shania was not injured and the packed crowd didn't react to her stumble as she continued with the show so smoothly. She's currently travelling with her Queen Of Me tour, which will arrive in Bethel, New York on July 3.
The country legend has been delighting fans with her tour, after she once feared she would never be able to sing again. In 2018, she underwent surgery to repair damage to her vocal cords caused by Lyme disease, which she contracted 15 years earlier.
Speaking to Metro, Shania said the successful procedure even helped her overcome her career-long struggle with stage fright. ‘I would freak out before going on stage, it was such an anxiety panic-attack situation,’ she said. ‘I’ve learned a lot about mind over matter, more than ever before. Since my surgery, I’ve learned I am so lucky that I am able to sing. It’s like, “Wow, OK, the last thing I want to be, or should be, is afraid to get out there”.
The I'm Gonna Getcha Good! singer added: ‘I’ve recovered from this very difficult surgery that may have left me without my voice. It may not have worked. I’m just grateful to be here.’
Shania Twain certainly proved that she is a true pro, and she gave the crowd a night to remember. She was brave enough to get back up and continue on with her show, demonstrating the power of mind over matter. We are certainly glad that she was able to make a strong recovery and that she is able to keep on performing her amazing music.
