There’s a certain magic that happens when Shania Twain takes the stage. It’s not just the rhinestones, the anthems, or the high-octane production. It’s that undeniable warmth—the kind that makes a massive stadium like Hersheypark feel more like a campfire jam session between old friends. Saturday night, under the dusky July sky, Shania did what she does best: she made everyone feel like the only one.
Opening the evening was the ever-upbeat Andy Grammer, who had hearts pumping and hands in the air from the jump. His infectious positivity wasn’t lost on the crowd, many of whom showed up early in summer dresses and cowboy boots to catch every note. Songs “Keep Your Head Up” and “Honey, I’m Good” had the stadium buzzing, and it was clear he wasn’t just filler—he was part of the joy that carried through the whole night.
When the lights dropped for Shania, the roar was deafening. With a strut and a smile, she emerged in full force, diving straight into her catalog of era-defining hits. “Rock This Country!” kicked things off in a glitterstorm of nostalgia and empowerment, and from there, it was a two-hour celebration of hooks that never left our heads.
“Any Man of Mine,” “That Don’t Impress Me Much,” “You’re Still the One”—they all landed with the weight of classics and the joy of living room sing-alongs. But Shania didn’t just rely on the hits. She peppered in selections from her more recent work, like “Waking Up Dreaming” and “Giddy Up!,” blending eras with ease, never missing a beat.
Between songs, she kept things personal. Shania talked about her long-running love for Hershey and teased that she’d been gifted a five-pound Hershey’s chocolate bar in her dressing room. “It’s going to take me until I’m back here next year to finish it,” she joked, drawing laughter and cheers. Moments like that made the night feel less like a tour stop and more like a homecoming.
By the time the night closed with “Man! I Feel Like a Woman!” and a stadium-wide dance party under lights, there was no denying it: Shania Twain hadn’t just performed. She connected, empowered, and reminded us why she remains one of music’s most beloved icons.
If Saturday night was any indication, we’ll be seeing her again next year—and hopefully with that chocolate bar still half-eaten.
