Turning 59 years old on August 28th, Shania Twain looked back on her life in the spotlight. Stepping on stage during the 1980s, the country singer dominated the airwaves with songs like “From This Moment On” and “That Don’t Impress Me Much.” Winning Grammy Awards and landing a spot in the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame, Twain was labeled the “Queen of Country Pop.” And while she continues to entertain fans, she recently received a special celebration when she welcomed Boyz II Men to the stage.
Taking the stage for another show during her Las Vegas residency, Twain decided to treat fans to a special performance with Boyz II Men. Together, they performed songs like “You’re Still the One” and “I’ll Make Love to You.” Having set up the surprise, Twain believed they were only going to sing two songs, but the boy band had other plans when they started to sing “Happy Birthday” to Twain.
