Shania Twain, 60, Is Hosting the ACMs—and Her Comeback Story Is One for the Ages
From Lyme disease to betrayal to the ACM stage—the country icon's recent few years have been remarkable
Key Takeaways
- Shania Twain will host the 2026 ACM Awards on May 17 on Prime Video.
- The musician has been booked and busy in recent years, though she's endured struggles.
- In July, Shania Twain will release a new album, 'Little Miss Twain.'
In a few days, Shania Twain will take the stage at the ACM Awards as host. The 60-year-old “Man! I Feel Like a Woman!” singer will bring her charm, talent and charisma to one of country music’s biggest nights, and fans are excited to see her take the lead at this Las Vegas ceremony airing on Prime Video at 8 p.m. EST. Additionally, the songstress just announced that this summer, she would be releasing a brand new album, Little Miss Twain, set to debut on July 24.
With so many great things ahead of her and the last few years being full of exciting new projects and career moves, it’s hard to imagine that there was ever a time that the musician thought she would have to retire from music due to her struggles with Lyme disease, and despite the strength she displays to the public, some tend to forget about the difficult chapter of her personal life, when her husband cheated with one of her closest friends. In spite of the struggles that she’s endured over the course of her career in the public eye, these last few years have proven that the multi-talented musician can truly come back from anything. Before we watch Shania take the stage this weekend at the ACM Awards, take a look back at what she’s been up to over the last few years of her career.
New albums from Shania Twain
In 2023, Shania Twain released her album Queen of Me, which touched on themes of self-love and positivity while also digging deep, addressing feelings and experiences we all endure, such as loneliness and letting go. Now, fans can get excited as they look ahead at her upcoming album, Little Miss Twain. Releasing on July 24, Shania described this album as an “homage to my roots, my youth and my mother,” per her Instagram caption.
Touring, live performances and a Vegas residency
To accompany her album Queen of Me, Shania embarked on a tour that took her all over the world, sharing her talents with fans as they celebrated this fun new chapter of her life and career. In 2024, Shania kicked off an exciting Vegas residency, “Come On Over” at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino. In February 2025, the show concluded, with Shania sharing a heartfelt tribute to her Instagram.
“Vegas holds a special place in my heart and this experience was even better than I could have imagined. Every crowd showed up with 100% energy, the best outfits on The Strip, the loudest sing-alongs, and the most kick-ass onstage moments. I couldn’t ask for better fans…You are everything!!”
Shania hits the screen
In 2022, the Netflix documentary Shania Twain: Not Just a Girl revealed her rise to fame across both pop and country genres as well as the personal experiences that have shaped her both before and after she became a public figure. More recently, she joined Canada’s Got Talent as a judge.
Shania Twain’s journey reminds us that our most powerful chapters can come after our biggest challenges. Whether she’s commanding the stage, releasing heartfelt new music or hosting the ACM Awards, she’s proof that resilience, grace and a little bit of sparkle can carry us through anything.
