The pink-haired Canadian country superstar Shania Twain performed several hits alongside her new single “Waking When Dreaming” and accepted the Music Icon Award.
Shania Twain accepted the award and performed a medley of her hits at the People’s Choice Awards on Tuesday (December 6).
Shania Twain proved that this is what makes her a music icon.
One of the highlights of her performance — which included her 1995 Billboard Hot 100 hit “Any Man of Mine” — was her crossover of the late-’90s pop smashes “That Don’t Impress Me Much” and “Man! I FEEL FELT LIKE A. WOMAN.”!!”
Her latest single—”Waking Up Dreaming”—is when the pink-haired singer swaps out her famously spoken “Brad Pitt” line from “Impress” for a fellow Canadian star. Alongside the performance, Twain also gave a heartfelt acceptance speech, accepting the Music Icon Award from his friend, actor Billy Porter.

“Am I dreaming? I really am, I think,” he began. “Thank you so much for presenting me with this award and highlighting my work as an important influence. I’m not sure if this is the right thing to say, but this has always been my ambition: to inspire people with my music. .”
In these moments of life, I always remember my mother. He would love to see his young daughter alive right now. But my fans, my friends, my team – you’re the ones who really fill that space. Not my mom’s place, but you’re here with me and you’re celebrating, we’re celebrating together, and you’ve made my entire work life feel loved and special. And I will be forever grateful for that, thank you.
“From a very young age, I turned to songwriting as a form of escape,” he said. “This is my go-to place. It never occurred to me how powerful songs can become when you can record them and share them with the whole world.
It is a great honor to be recognized as a songwriter. But the biggest honor for me is knowing that people have found strength and inspiration in my work, and in the songs, I sing. Thank you for that, I love you for that.”
She also highlighted her role as a fashion icon, noting that early in her career, she was simply dressing with whatever she had on hand.
“I just went into my closet and picked up whatever I had, or went to a department store and picked up budget items, because I didn’t have a huge budget. With that, a sharp pair of scissors, and a Large sample, I just cut and draw and cut…and hoped for the best.

Twain ended the speech with some words of encouragement for his young fans. “I just want to say: Kids, embrace your individuality and your crazy ideas. Just be brave.
Let’s remember, there is strength in numbers, we are in this together, love is love, and when someone slams the door in your face, make a frantic run and jump your door and slam it! You won’t regret it.
