Shania Twain Reveals Beyoncé Sent Her Handwritten Note
Klaudia//July 20, 2024
Back in the spring, Shania Twain took delivery of an enormous bunch of flowers at her home in Switzerland. It was accompanied by a handwritten message, signed ‘Beyoncé’.
‘It was this lovely note just saying, “Thank you for the inspiration, I listened to your music all through the making of [her new country album] Cowboy Carter”,’ says Twain. ‘So that was very sweet! I wasn’t expecting that.’
These international megastars – Beyoncé, Swift and Twain – they do cross paths at awards ceremonies from time to time. ‘There is definitely a mutual respect among the artists who are prepared to put themselves in a more vulnerable situation – the ones who dare to be different,’ says Twain.
Still, she had no idea that she had inspired the soul singer to come up with an album of line-dance-ready country pop of the kind that she herself made inescapable in the late 1990s.
