Shania Twain recently shared her unusual experience during a tour in Australia, which she only learned about the next day. The iconic country music star, known for hits like “You’re Still the One,” recalled a moment that left her sister in a state of panic due to a large cockroach in their hotel room.
Twain’s Australian Horror Story
During her tour, Twain’s sister encountered an experience that made her “silently scream.” While Twain was asleep, her sister noticed a massive cockroach on the ceiling. Living in northern Ontario, she had never seen a cockroach of that size before.
- Twain’s sister tried not to wake her while frantically figuring out how to deal with the insect.
- She ended up calling a neighbor for help.
- Twain was unaware of the incident until the following day, expressing relief that she hadn’t known during the night.
Despite this terrifying moment, Twain fondly remembers other experiences in Australia, particularly enjoying nature and horse riding near Melbourne. She stated that this was her only negative experience in the country.
New Collaborations and Upcoming Ad

- Twain described Cardy as brilliant and easy to work with.
- In the ad, she and Cardy perform a musical piece highlighting fun things you can do while not driving.
Twain expressed interest in potentially collaborating with Cardy on new music outside of her usual genre. She appreciated the ease of their creative chemistry, mentioning that they could write something unique together.
Controversy in Country Music
Throughout her career, Twain has faced scrutiny within the country music community. She reflected on the initial backlash regarding her image and music style. Some claimed she blurred genre boundaries and emphasized sex appeal over artistry.
