Shania Twain is loving Sabrina Carpenter!

The country superstar took to her Instagram Stories to repost a video in which Carpenter is seen covering her 1997 hit, “That Don’t Impress Me Much,” during her Short n’ Sweet tour stop in Toronto on Wednesday night (Sept. 25). The cover was performed at the part of the show in which Carpenter delivers a random cover decided by a wheel of fortune. The performance was even more fitting, as Twain is an Ontario native.


On the red carpet for the People’s Choice Country Awards, which Twain hosted, the singer told E! that she loved Carpenter’s tribute. “It’s just a huge compliment. I mean she’s such a talented person! She’s smart, so it’s a compliment,” she gushed of Carpenter.

Twain isn’t just hosting the PCAAs. She’s also a nominee, as Shania Twain: Come On Over—The Las Vegas Residency- All The Hits! snagged a nomination in the concert tour of 2024 category. Her residency is currently slated to run through early 2025.

“It’s a really full-circle experience for me,” Twain told Billboard of hosting the event. “It takes me back to my own beginnings in Nashville and as a new recording artist there, and obviously the historic location is always appealing. I meet new artists, and I’m running into old friends, making new friends.”

Bryan leads this year’s nominees with 19 nominations, followed by Beyoncé with 17 nominations.

The Canada Music Fund is getting a new boost from the federal government.

At last night's ADISQ Gala in Montreal (Nov. 8), the Minister of Canadian Identity and Culture, Marc Miller, announced that the federal government will invest $67 million to the Canada Music Fund, as part of the government's promised $600 million investment into the cultural sector. The sum was first announced in June to provide "immediate relief" to the country's audio and audiovisual sector and confirmed for 2026-27 in the latest federal budget, which was tabled last week. Over the weekend, Ottawa gave a long-awaited breakdown of how the funds will be allocated.
