Kelly Clarkson was left speechless when she learned country icon Shania Twain‘s real name.
In a video posted on The Kelly Clarkson Show socials on March 14, the talk show host played a game where she guessed celebrities from their real names.
“Shania Twain’s name isn’t Shania?! How many of these did you know?” the caption asked.
Canadian country singer-songwriter Shania Twain was born Eilleen Regina Edwards. Clarkson seemed surprise to learn this fact, however.
After she was given the hint, “This five time Grammy winning country singer is still the one,” Clarkson guessed correctly.
“Shania Twain’s real name is Eilleen?!” she said. “No. It’s Shania.”
Clarkson added, “I feel like I just want to call her Eilleen from now on.”
Other names mentioned in the game were Emily Jean Stone, which Clarkson easily guessed was Emma Stone, and Dakota and Elle Fanning, who use their middle names as their first.
The talk show host also guessed Bad Bunny‘s name correctly after receiving a hint that he’s the first musician with an entirely Spanish-language album to win the Grammy for Album of the Year in 2026. His real name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio.
Clarkson and Twain swapped onstage mishaps during a 2023 interview on The Kelly Clarkson Show.
The host recalled the potential for a wardrobe malfunction after doing a quick change off stage.
Twain noted, “There’s lots of swearing in the quick change — it’s a scream, swear-fest because you have to get out there in time.”
Clarkson explained, “One time in my quick change, they forgot to do something. They zipped me but didn’t do the … And I jumped around a lot on that tour and so my dress almost came completely off. And I was commando.”
“So that would have gone real European beach real quick,” she added.
Twain then shared her embarrassing story. “Well, actually the biggest mishap I’ve had on stage was my horse,” she revealed. “One time my horse — I was on stage — drops a big poop. And I mean, it’s big and it’s steamy and it’s stinky, you know.”
“I mean, not for me, I love the smell of horse poop,” the singer added. “Everything I own smells like horse poop, but it was just really awkward. And so I just had to say, ‘Well, sh-t happens.'”
