Shania Twain Dazzled Fans With Surprise Performance
Partway into the show, fans got the surprise of their lives when Shania Twain's "Man! I Feel Like A Woman" started to play and the singer stepped out on stage.
"I have to tell you, in the car with my mother as a child, this lady taught me to sing," Styles gushed of the country star. "She also taught me that men are trash — but to you, for the memories you gave me with my mother, I will be forever grateful."
Twain thanked him for his kind words and admitted she was "starstruck" to be on stage with the boy-bander.
"I’m a fan of you of course and I realized that when I was writing this song you were just a kid," she told him, "so it’s kind of a dream and very surreal to be sitting here right now singing this song with you."
