On Facebook, reactions ranged from disapproval to disbelief. One user wrote, “Is that an adult diaper?” while another commented, “Those costumes are ridiculous! Why in the world would she even think she needs them!”
Some criticized Twain’s attempt to push fashion boundaries. “Outfit not working for her.., trying to be 20 years younger or more and looks trashy (sorry). Does look like a diaper [sic],” one user remarked. Another added, “I’m embarrassed for my [generation’s] female artists. They refuse to embrace their sunsets.”
Users continued to voice their disappointment, with one writing, “Horrible look for her! So tacky and classless, I expect better from Shania,” and another stating, “She needs to eat and wear [age-appropriate] clothes.”

Some defended Twain’s choice, explaining, “It is actually a body suit with skin color, full skin color tights with costume elements over it (or could be sewn to it. So while skin tight, she is totally covered [sic].”
Another mentioned, “Well, first off, she has a type of full-body pantyhose thing going on.” Yet, even among explanations, a user expressed, “Regardless, she is trim!”

TikTok also offered its share of opinions, with users divided between admiration and concern. One commenter wrote, “any singer I notice who is in decline always starts shedding the clothing. it’s so sad. it totally takes away from their talents [sic].” Another posted, “whomever decided on this wardrobe for Her should be FIRED [sic]!”
Amid the wardrobe controversy, Twain has remained focused on connecting with her fans and celebrating the final shows of 2024 in Las Vegas. On December 6, the country music star shared a lively Instagram post featuring herself and several fans, which included women and even young girls.

Alongside the photos, she wrote, “If I don’t invite my gorgeous fans up onto the @phlivevegas stage during a show… is it even a Shania Twain show?! We had a wild Wednesday night in Vegas – what a crowd! You guys knew how to have fun!!”
Building on her recent performances, Twain’s L.A. journey continues to gain momentum. In August 2023, the five-time Grammy Award winner revealed on CBS Mornings that she would headline a new Las Vegas residency in 2024, titled “Shania Twain: COME ON OVER – The Las Vegas Residency – All The Hits!”. This highly anticipated residency launched on May 10, 2024, at the Bakkt Theater at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino.

In July 2024, Twain shared her excitement about returning to the stage for the next leg of her residency, which celebrates her landmark 1997 album Come On Over. She described the project as a unique homage to the record that remains the best-selling album by a female solo artist of all time.

Her journey began in country bars in Ontario, Canada, where she performed as a child. “I was very uncomfortable with it,” she admitted, recalling how she sang in adult venues, many of which had cages.
Despite the discomfort, Twain performed because the adults around her believed she was destined for stardom. However, her aspirations leaned toward becoming a veterinarian or engineering architect.

Music, though, remained her passion. After The Woman in Me gained traction in 1995, Twain made the bold decision to focus on writing her next album instead of touring. “A lot of people lost a lot of money for me not going on tour. But I didn’t care. Dedicating myself to the writer in me, I wrote a better album,” she shared.
That decision paid off, as Come On Over became a groundbreaking success, featuring hits like “Man! I Feel Like a Woman!” and “You’re Still the One.”

Between shows, Twain said she found solace on her ranch, where she spent time with her five horses. “This is a little park oasis that I can just walk out my door and do this. It’s so calming and peaceful,” she expressed in her July 2024 interview.
As she embraces her Las Vegas residency and connects with fans, she proves her enduring ability to command the spotlight and leave a lasting impact.
