Shania Twain has taken over the Pyramid stage at this year’s edition Glastonbury Festival and social media has been reacting to her performance.

The country icon performed the coveted legend’s slot at the annual music bash at Worthy Farm. Previously sharing that she wanted to “borrow” a horse for her performance, Twain arrived with a group of drag queens all holding up toy horses.

There was a massive turnout for her set. Hundreds of thousands made their way to the Pyramid stage to see her play. She opened with her 1997 hit ‘That Don’t Impress Me Much’.

Upon singing the first lines of the track, fans and viewers took to X/Twitter to express their concern over Twain’s singing. “Watching Shania Twain delivering a mediocre performance of That Don’t Impress Me Much at Glastonbury and trying to think of a witty way to tweet my feelings about it,” wrote one user.

However, other fans seemed to enjoy Shania’s performance, with one user writing: “Great set by Shania, very enjoyable.”

Though many were confused about the livestream’s sound during the singer’s set at the music festival, others were in awe of her performance. “Shania Twain looks incredible some dodgy notes here and there but what a performer! So many bangers,” wrote one user.

Another user shared that Twain sounded amazing live and BBC should look into what went on during the live stream. “Anyway in better news, Shania actually sounded amazing live for people who were actually there so bbc need to fire someone asap,” they wrote.

 

 

 

 

 

In a three-star review of her Glasto performanceNME shared: “You can’t argue with the songs, her voice or the way her guitarists shred their axes, though. The rumoured Harry Styles appearance obviously doesn’t come off, but there’s enough camp to go around when she hams up it during an acapella section of ‘You’re Still the One’ and her fiddle player absolutely loses it during ‘Any Man of Mine’. By the time she inevitably closes with ‘Man! I Feel Like A Woman!’ and pink flares stream across a field full of cowboys and gals belting it out karaoke-style (“Man’s shirts! Short skirt!”), you’d have to admit she’s revved the crowd up pretty well.”

In other Glastonbury news, Paloma Faith paid tribute to Amy Winehouse with a cover ‘Back To Black’ during her performance at the Pyramid stage. Elsewhere, fans have been sharing their love for Gossip following their eruptive set at Glastonbury – which saw them call out the US government.

Still set to come this weekend at Glastonbury 2024 are performances from SZA, Janelle Monae, The National, Two Door Cinema Club, Avril Lavigne, Justice, Nia Archives, James Blake, Alvvays, Romy and more.

Coldplay‘s electric headlining set on Saturday scored them a four-star reviewLittle Simz‘s Pyramid performance marked her bid as a future headliner, while Camila Cabello turned in a chaotic performance.

SZA SHOWS OFF GYMNASTICS SKILLS IN ‘DREAM’ MEETING WITH OLYMPIAN SIMONE BILES

SZA may be one of music’s biggest stars, but her talents extend beyond the studio or stage.

In a video shared on Instagram ahead of the 2024 Paris Olympics, the TDE songstress met up with U.S. gymnast Simone Biles and showcased her own skills in the gymnasium.

The clip begins with the two women embracing before SZA reveals that it had been a “dream” of hers to meet Biles, who is the most decorated gymnast in history.

The “Kill Bill” hitmaker also talks about her own past career in gymnastics before she decided to pursue music.

“When it was clear to me that I wasn’t gonna be a national gymnast, I was like, ‘Okay, let me see what I can do.’ I needed something to be competitive at,” she says.

SZA then dusts off some of her old moves by doing a handstand alongside Biles.

The Grammy-winner also posted a video on her Instagram Stories of her and Biles backflipping into a foam pit, after which SZA says: “That was fun as shit.”

Check out both clips below.

SZA isn’t the only musician who has been participating in the Olympic buildup.

Last month, Snoop Dogg showed off his physical fitness by running a 200-meter sprint during Team USA’s Summer Olympics track and field trials.

NBC, the broadcaster for the Olympics in the U.S., posted a video on X (formerly Twitter) of Tha Doggfather showcasing his sprinting skills in Eugene, Oregon.

In the clip, the 52-year-old rap legend busts a lung as he completes the dash while rocking a red, white and blue stars and stripes outfit, including a Kobe Bryant shirt.

After racing past the finish line, Snoop reacted to his time and came away rather impressed: “34.44 for a 52-year-old? Ain’t bad,” he declared.

It was previously announced that Snoop Dogg would join NBCUniversal’s coverage of the 2024 Olympic Summer Games in Paris, which begin on July 26.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Snoop will speak with NBC Olympics host Mike Tirico and provide his “unique take” on the events.

He will also “explore the city’s iconic landmarks, attend Olympic competitions and events and make visits to the athletes, their friends and families.”
