Let's Go Girls — Shania Twain Rocks New England
Pre-pandemic, concerts were a more collective experience of joy. A night more akin to a church or temple than individual. Post-COVID, has been anything but. Shania Twain’s Queen Of Me tour appears to be one of a limited number of exceptions.
It's more like The Eras Tour than anything since 2020, with stunning visuals, rabid fans sharing in the collective joy of the female icon and legendary songs to go with.
In Mansfield, MA last week, Twain tore through her catalog of hits — old and new. Her vocals, despite criticism at some shows, sounded fantastic. From the moment she emerged, kicking the concert off amid the croud, her and her band did all the little things right.
No matter where you focused, there were moments of joy — big and small — bringing people together in the name of music. No small accomplishment in an era where artists are inundated to take BeReals or selfies with individual fans at each show.
