TRENDS CONTINUE. SO WHAT IS THIS, LISTEN.
WHAT IS THIS MOMENT FEEL LIKE FOR YOU, SHANIA TWAIN?
>> I AM JUST SO INCREDIBLY ENERGIZED LATELY.
I THINK THAT COVID WAS, IT WAS A VERY CREATIVE TIME FOR ME, THE
ISOLATION. >> Stephen: I HEAR YOU LIKE
ISOLATION. >> I MEAN NOT THAT KIND OF
ISOLATION, OF COURSE. >> Stephen: BUT CREATIVELY.
>> I LOVE BEING ISOLATED. I LOVE TO WRITE MUSIC.
I LIKE TO BE ALONE. I LOST MYSELF IN THE BATHROOM
OFF EP TO GET THAT ALONE TIME SPACE, IN CLOSETS.
I MEAN I REALLY-- . >> Stephen: YOU LITERALLY
CRAWL INTO A CLOSET AND CLOSE THE DOOR.
>> CLOSETS ARE GREAT. I NEED TO BE ALONE.
I REALLY DO. >> Stephen: I'M GUESSING
SHANIA TWAIN YOU HAVE A BETTER CLOSET THAN I DO.
>> I KNOW IT DOES SOUND WEIRD TO SAY IT OUT LOUD BUT I NEED THE
ISOLATION. I NEED A SPACE WHERE I CAN LET
GO OF MY INHIBITIONS, THERE IS NO WRONG THING TO RIGHT THERE IS
NO WRONG THING TO SAY, SAY IT OUT LOUD, CAN I SCREAM T
WHATEVER THE EMOTION. IS AND NOT FEEL JUDGED.
SO THIS IS PLIE NO-- ZONE BATHROOMS, CLOSET, WHERE I CAN
FIND PRIVACY. >> Stephen: WELL, YOU HAVE WON
MANY AWARDS, FIVE GRAMMYS AS I SAID BEFORE.
MI JUST CURIOUS HOW THIS MOMENTS FEELS TO YOU.
THIS IS ANOTHER HIGH POINT RECENTLY.
WHERE IS THIS, A TRAIN WAS NAMED AFTER YOU, THE SHANIA TRAIN.
(APPLAUSE). >> Stephen: IS THIS CANADA.
>> IT'S TRUE. THERE IS IN SWITZERLAND.
>> Stephen: IN SWITZERLAND, THEY TAKE THEIR TRAINS
SERIOUSLY. >> THEY TAKE THEIR TWAIN TRAINS
VERY SERIOUSLY. NO, I HAVE A LONG HISTORY WITH
TWAINS FROM MY CHILDHOOD GROWING UP IN CANADA.
SO IT WAS VERY COOL FOR ME TO BE ABLE TO BE THERE AT THE
INAUGURATION AND HAVE THE TRAIN NAMED AFTER ME IT WAS REALLY A
COMPLIMENT, SHANIA TRAIN. >> Jon: YOU HAVE A CITY
UNDERNEATH, DID YOU SIGN IT LIVE IN THE MOMENT.

VERSION OF MY SIGNATURE, BUT YEAH, IT'S PERMANENT, HOWEVER
GOOD OR BAD IT IS, IT IS PERMANENT.
>> Jon: D. >> Stephen: ANYONE WHO RIDES
THAT TRAIN COULD FORGE A CHECK BY YOU.
>> I SURE HOPE NOT. >> Stephen: NOW YOU HAVE
INFLUENCED A GENERATION OF YOUNGER MUSICIANS, TAYLOR SWIFT,
HARRY STYLES, POST MALONE, DIPLO, WHAT DO YOU SAY TO THIS
NEXT GENERATION. >>
>> Stephen: IT GOES ON AND ON. WHEN THEY SAY, WHEN POST MALONE
SAYS YOU REALLY INFLUENCED ME, DO YOU EVER SAY, I DON'T HEAR IT
OR. >> NO.
ACTUALLY I'M A REALLY BIG FAN OF SO MANY DIFFERENT STYLES, I LOVE
POST MALONE. I'M A GENUINE FAN OF HIS MUSIC
AND HIS VOICE, WHAT HE HAS TO SAY.
YOU KNOW, WHAT THIS ALL MEANS TO ME IS THAT THINGS HAVE GONE FULL
CIRCUMSTANCE NELL THE LAST 25, 30 YEARS FOR ME.
THESE ARE ARTISTS THAT WERE KIDS, FOUR, FIVE, SIX YEARS OLD,
GROWING UP TO MY MUSIC. AND NOW THEY'RE GROWN UP AND
ABLE TO SAY, EXPRESS WHATEVER THAT INSPIRATION WAS TO ME.
SO IT FEELS REALLY, REALLY GOOD. I JUST WANT TO SIT DOWN AROUND A
CAMPFIRE WITH THESE GUYS AND SAY LET'S JUST SEE WHAT HAPPENS, YOU
KNOW. LET'S GET OUT OUR GUITARS.
>> Stephen: THAT WOULD MAKE A REALLY GOOD SPECIAL.
I WOULD WATCH THAT. SHAFN EYEA TWAIN TAKES THE TWAIN
TRAIN. >> THAT'S IT.
>> Stephen: UP TO THE JUNKS AND GET OUT AND SIT AROUND THE
FIRE WITH A GUITAR. >> ROLL ON THOSE TWAIN TRACKS
RIGHT DOWN TO THE FIRE. (APPLAUSE).
>> Stephen: HOW DID YOU, SO THIS IS A GREAT SHOFT YOU AND
HARRY ON STAGE. HOW DID YOU BECOME FRIENDS WITH
HARRY STYLES, DID YOU GUYS HANG. >> HE WAS PLAYING IN NEW YORK,
ACTUALLY. THIS IS BEFORE HE REALLY BLEW
UP. AND I WENT BACKSTAGE TO MEET
HIM. AND HE SAID YOU KNOW, WE BECAME
ACTUAL FRIENDS AT THAT MOMENT. AND TEXT ME AND SAID WOULD YOU
CALL MY MUM AND WISH HER HAPPY BIRTH DAIVMENT I WAS LIKE OF
COURSE, SURE. >> HE SAID MY MUM WAS A BIG
INFLUENCE ON ME AND WHY I GREW UP WITH THE MUSIC.
SO I CALLED HER UP, WISHED HER HAPPY BIRTHDAY AND HARRY AND I
HAVE BEEN FRIENDS EVER SINCE. >> Stephen: WE HAVE TO TAKE A
QUICK BREAK BUT WE WILL BE BACK WITH MORE SHANIA TWAIN,
EVERYBODY.
