The country superstar, who turned 59 on August 28, spent her birthday weekend performing at her Las Vegas residency, “Shania Twain: Come On Over — The Las Vegas Residency — All the Hits!” It was during her August 29 show at Planet Hollywood’s Zappos Theater that Twain received a delightful surprise from a legendary R&B group.
An Unforgettable Surprise
The night began with Twain delivering a high-energy performance that captivated the audience. The show took an exciting turn when legendary R&B group Boyz II Men made a surprise appearance on stage.
