Shania Twain announced Tuesday she plans to roll the dice again in Las Vegas next year. Twain, who is spending much of the year on her international Queen of Me Tour, will head back to Las Vegas for her third residency in May of 2024. Shania Twain: COME ON OVER – The Las Vegas Residency – All The Hits! will open at Bakkt Theater at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino on Friday, May 10, 2024. Tickets will go on sale 10 a.m. PT Monday, Aug. 21, ticketmaster.com/shaniavegas. “I am excited to be returning to Vegas for my third residency COME ON OVER, Twain said. Performing in Vegas is a huge honor, and I love this theatre. The audience can expect ALL THE HITS with a few fan favorites from the new album in there, too. I am in a celebratory mood, and there is nowhere better to party than VEGAS, so I hope you all join me!” The Canadian told People she planned to play around in the fashion more on her third residency because she had really discovered the joy of creating my styling myself. “Ive always collaborated, but this is a whole other level, she said. Im going to be doing more of that at the Come on Over residency. She said she didnt want to give anything away but that shell bring elements from her previous Las Vegas residencies as well as her current tour to the more intimate stage. “Im always learning, but I am enjoying the maturity of having the confidence in my decision-making,” she said. “I’m enjoying the confidence that experience has given me now, and it just gives me a lot of room to play, and it gives me a lot of room to be spontaneous. Ive got more confidence in being spontaneous and trying new things, as well.” Twain doesnt know where she finds her energy now, she reported to People, but theorizes it could be a combination of confidence and gratitude. I’ve got just more self-confidence, she said. Self-doubt, I just dont have time for that. I would rather be wrong and make a mistake but still be moving forward than to be stuck or fenced in by fear or self-doubt. Just no time for that, no room for that. And the things that have taught me that have been the ailments along the way.” Twain added, “I do work too hard sometimes, but if its something that Im loving, good luck trying to slow me down.” The 24 performances going on sale are: May 2024: 10, 11, 15, 17, 18, 23, 25, 26 Aug. 2024: 23, 24, 29, 31 Dec. 2024: 4, 6, 7, 11, 13, 14 Shows begin at 8 p.m. For more information and to purchase tickets, please visit ticketmaster.com/shaniavegas.

Four years have passed since Granger Smith and his wife Amber lost their four-year-old son, River, in a drowning accident in the family swimming pool. The couple, who had two other children then, openly shared their grief on social media. Earlier this year, Smith revealed plans to step away from the country music business and focus on seminary – a decision he made after his devastation and dangerous coping mechanisms nearly led him to a suicide attempt. He details his and his familys journey to healing in his new book Like a River thats out now. Smith was using marijuana in various forms to help him sleep through the night. He developed a dependence, and he went downhill from there. I would wake up in the middle of the night many times and … go, I lost my son, and then I couldnt go back to sleep, Smith told ET. It was every night, so I would take weed in some form so that hopefully I would sleep all night and it worked. Marijuana made him feel so good he decided to use it in the morning, too, in case something happened at breakfast. Then he thought he might as use it at lunch, too. And then I thought, If I dont have it, Im in trouble, and the slideshows gonna overtake me, he continued. And the slideshow was just random images of River, of losing him and whether hes face down in the pool or Im holding him, or were going to the hospital or the doctor saying, Were gonna lose him. The singer recalled things got so bad that one night on his tour bus in Idaho, he was drunk with a gun in his hand. He called it as rock bottom as it got. I just wanted to end it all when the weed wasnt working anymore, and the alcohol couldnt numb it, and self-help certainly couldnt help anymore cause it takes a level of strength to self-help, he said. And when you dont have any strength, what do you do? Maybe the only answer is to end it all because maybe thats where the peace is. Maybe thats when you can finally rest in that. He saw the faces of his children Lincoln and London in his head and started praying. I said, Jesus, save me, and suddenly I felt life sort of stop for the first time, Smith said. The slideshow stopped. I slid the gun out of my hand, and it hit the bank, and I fell down on the floor, and I was crying, and I was horrified at my shame and my guilt and the weakness I was and the lack of strength that I had and the weak man I that I was. It all hit me at once, and that was the beginning. Smith threw himself into his faith earlier this year and revealed plans to leave country music for seminary. His last concert is on Aug. 26. He explained that giving music up is a huge sacrifice because he loves it and has long been passionate about it. I just feel like now I have a more important message to give, and theres not enough time to do music, he told ET. This season of my life will be actually being with my family and going to our little local church and learning under our pastor and going to seminary and getting out and speaking occasionally and talking about this book and telling people about my darkest night and how I was saved from that, so thats where I am right now. Smith and his wife Amber welcomed their son, Maverick, in August of 2021, two years after Rivers death. The singer said Maverick is the closest human being there ever was to River. He looks like him, he talks like him, he likes the same things, he said. He has blond hair instead of red. He is so similar, and he looks at his picture, and he stares at his picture, and he says, River, the singer shared. Ill never understand that kind of chemistry and how that works, but Maverick will continue to carry on that legacy. If you or someone you know has thoughts of suicide, contact the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK (8255), text STRENGTH to the Crisis Text Line at 741-741, or visit suicidepreventionlifeline.org.

Taylor Swift is finally booking an Eras Tour stop in Toronto and making amends with a six-show stint in the city. The “Anti-Hero” singer-songwriter announced on Thursday that she will be spending almost two weeks in Toronto in the fall of 2024. Her first string of concerts is booked at the Rogers Centre — a venue with a capacity of more than 50,000 — on Nov. 14, 15, and 16, followed by another stint on Nov 21, 22, and 23. “Turns out it’s NOT the end of an era,” Swift teased on Twitter while announcing the second leg of her tour coming to Miami, New Orleans, Indianapolis and Toronto. The mega pop star said tickets aren’t on sale yet, but they will be on Wednesday. In the meantime, verified fan registration for Toronto shows is now open. American musician Gracie Abrams, who Swift has called one of her favourite friends while performing together in Ohio, will be joining her on stage in Toronto. In June, Canadian fans were left in the lurch when Swift announced 40 new dates for her Eras Tour, including Mexico, Europe, Asia and Australia – skipping Canada entirely. It seems Swift is eager to smooth over the rough patch with Canadians – the only other cities that got six shows were Los Angeles and Singapore. The original omission pushed Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to tweet at Swift with paraphrased lyrics from her own songs, posting, Its me, hi. I know places in Canada would love to have you. So, dont make it another cruel summer. We hope to see you soon. TAYLOR SWIFT WILL HAVE ‘ENORMOUS’ IMPACT ON TORONTODestinations Toronto Executive Vice President Andrew Weir said Swift’s shows will have an “enormous” impact on the city’s tourism and hospitality industries when they need it most. “Thats a critical time for our industry, just as the time when a lot of business travel starts to subside, leisure travel for the holidays hasnt really picked up yet,” Weir told CP24. As the only city in the country with shows booked, Weir said he expects the geographic radius of Swifties inundating Toronto will be significant, and in turn, reflect a substantial monetary value. On average, Era Tour fans are spending U.S. $1,300 – equivalent to more than $1,700 in Canada – on tickets, merchandise, alcohol, food, parking and hotels, Canadian music correspondent Eric Alper told CP24. “You tabulate that, she could be raking in anywhere between $75 million and $100 million just based on these six dates alone,” Alper said. He notes that several days linger between Swift’s Toronto shows, which could leave room for more dates to be announced, or even a quick visit to stages in another major city, like Montreal or Vancouver. THE ERAS TOUR SO FARThe first leg of the Eras Tour launched in March with the final date booked in Brazil at the end of November 2023.After a few months to rest her vocal cords, Swift will be back on stage in Tokyo in February 2024. The three-hour concert takes fans through the eras of the Grammy-winner’s 17-year career, spanning from “Love Story” in her earliest era to her most recent “Anti-Hero.” With the first stretch of the tour nearly in the rear-view, Swift wrote, “really blows my mind that we have one last city on the US leg,” on Instagram this week before heading to Santa Clara. More than halfway through the eight-month stretch, and the hype for her tour has only roared louder, with her Seattle concert generating seismic activity equivalent to a 2.3 magnitude earthquake just last week. While Canadian Swifties are rejoicing about the new tour dates, securing tickets could be a battle in itself. When tickets for the first leg of her Eras Tour were released, Swift broke Ticketmaster with insufficient supply to meet the extraordinary fan demand.
