Shania Twain sure knows how to keep the party going, and it was definitely shown at the Calgary Stampede for the Fourth of July weekend.
The legendary Canadian country-pop superstar took Calgary by storm with her powerful vocals and boundary-pushing music. Her headlining performance at the Scotiabank Saddledome came on the heels of her wrapping up her Las Vegas residency. She is now embarking on a summer tour that includes festivals and major performances across the continent.
In Calgary, Twain not only performed but also proudly served as the Parade Marshal. Mrs. Marshal Twain embraced a role that reconnected her to her Canadian roots, and by the looks of it, she nailed it! What stood out about the singer, aside from her stellar performance, was her elegant outfit. She rocked sparkling red cowboy boots that screamed country, making sure they popped out by only wearing an all-white outfit.
A Surprise Duet with Drake Milligan
The highlight of Twain’s performance came when she invited rising country star Drake Milligan to the stage. Milligan, a Texas native who rose to fame on “America’s Got Talent,” joined Twain for a fun and energetic rendition of her 2004 hit “Party for Two.” Originally featuring Billy Currington, the track got a fresh twist as Milligan joined the superstar for a dynamic performance that delighted the Calgary crowd, which you could tell by the excited clapping and singing along.
“From this song, he’s gonna rush off stage and go on to his own show to perform. He’s a real trooper,” Twain joked as she introduced him to the audience. The two musicians clearly had a blast on stage, as their chemistry lit up the arena.
“I’m so ready,” Milligan responded when Twain asked if he was ready to party. The duo’s playful banter and energetic performance captured the crowd’s attention, making for a moment no one will forget.
After the performance, Twain took to social media to express her thanks, writing, “Ain’t no party like a @calgarystampede party! 💃🕺🏼 Big thank you to the very talented @drakemilligan for jumping onstage to join me for a party for two before his own show mere moments later.”
Milligan responded, saying, “Such a blast! Thanks for having me,” confirming the great time they had during the surprise collaboration.
The Fun Doesn’t End Here!
What’s next for the country Diva? Well, she’s set to perform at several more festivals and concerts throughout the summer, including her headlining slots at various major venues. These include venues in New York, Pennsylvania, Florida, New Hampshire, and more. Known for her show-stopping stage presence and songs that have made her the superstar she is today, the icon continues to captivate audiences worldwide.
Milligan, who has been making waves in the country music scene, has been busy opening for country superstars like Blake Shelton and Luke Bryan. He’s been working on new music between his packed touring schedule, with more exciting releases anticipated soon. His rich blend of traditional country, contemporary sound, and let’s face it, Elvis feel, has won him a growing fan base. Expect big things soon, especially after his songs have been making such a strong impact. We can’t wait to see where he lands.
Both artists are at the top of their game! Their collaboration during the Calgary Stampede was a moment of pure musical magic.
