Shania Twain Opens Up About Harry Styles Friendship & His Request When They First Got in Touch

Shania Twain‘s friendship with Harry Styles can be traced further back in time than their onstage collaboration at Coachella.

If you forgot, the 57-year-old Queen of Me country legend joined the 28-year-old Harry’s House artist onstage for a performance of “Man! I Feel Like a Woman!” at the 2022 music festival. They also performed her hit “You’re Still the One.”

Although they might seem like an unlikely pair, Shania revealed that they’ve been connected ever since he asked for her phone number years ago. She talked about their relationship in a recent interview.

While on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Shania told host Stephen Colbert that Harry and her became “texting friends” after she met him at show.

“He was playing in New York,” she recalled. “This is before he really blew up, and I went backstage to meet him.”

He messaged her a few weeks later with a request: “‘Would you call my mum and wish her a happy birthday?’ I’m like, ‘Of course, sure.’ He said, ‘My mum was a big influence on me and she’s why I grew up with your music.’”

They’ve been friends ever since.

If you missed it, Shania debuted a drastically new look this week. She also talked about her decision to pose topless on the cover of her single “Waking Up Dreaming.”
