With her big hits and a handful of new songs from her latest album, Shania Twain served up glamour and charm through a hefty, energetic set Friday night at Dos Equis Pavilion for her Queen of Me tour stop in Dallas.
Throughout her two-plus hour show, she even threw in nods to her queer fans which only added to her gay icon status. Not making it too much of a surprise as a spotlight shone in the middle of the audience, Twain opened the show amid her fans on the main walkway of Dos Equis with “Waking Up Dreaming.” In a blond bob on a rolling platform, she gave some major face time to her audience.
The opening served more as a preamble because the energy exploded when she and her band and backup singers hit the stage with “Up!” Spacey colorful visuals played behind her as she rolled out high energy hits “Don’t Be Stupid” and “I’m Gonna Getcha Good.” In the more upbeat songs, Twain delivered her tunes with a relaxed confidence.
She pranced and posed throughout the stage in glittered sneakers and her flowy cape taking the audience on a ride of hits as far back as a quarter-century that still sounded fresh and fun.
