When Shania Twain talks about pop sensation Sabrina Carpenter, the admiration is apparent. In an interview with\u00a0EtalkCTV<\/a>, country pop icon dissected collaborating with the \u201cManchild\u201d artiste, not just her artistry, but her integrity as well.<\/p>\n \u201cShe\u2019s so beautiful and she\u2019s so popular,\u201d Twain said. \u201cShe\u2019s almost too popular to have to be nice. But she\u2019s nice anyway, and I really love that about her. And she\u2019s super talented, you know? We were singing and doing rehearsals, and she\u2019s just got this beautiful voice, she can sing anything. And she\u2019s a great actress, she takes her career very seriously.\u201d<\/p>\n It\u2019s high praise from one of the best-selling female artists in history, and it comes on the heels of a year in which Carpenter and Twain\u2019s worlds collided onstage and on TV.<\/p>\n Carpenter ended 2024 with\u00a0A Nonsense Christmas, a holiday-themed Netflix variety special that borrowed from her cheeky Christmas redo of \u201cNonsense\u201d from her\u00a0Fruitcake\u00a0EP. The Grammy-nominated singer built the night around ridiculous duets, slapstick sketches, and a parade of high-fashion outfits.<\/p>\n She was joined on stage by the most promising faces in music. Tyla joined her on \u201cThis Christmas,\u201d Kali Uchis sang with her on \u201cI Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus\u201d amidst a roaring fireplace, and Chappell Roan shouted \u201cLast Christmas\u201d alongside Carpenter, who sported a fur coat tossed over her shoulders. Shania Twain guested for a sultry duet of \u201cSanta Baby\u201d that brought together two generations of pop queens.<\/p>\n Between digits, Carpenter proved her comedic strength in sketches with Quinta Brunson, Nico Hiraga, and Cara Delevingne. Perhaps the highlight starred Carpenter, Brunson, and Delevingne as ghosts of Christmas past, present, and future, respectively, who had all been romantically ghosted by Hiraga\u2019s character. Carpenter also unwittingly dated Santa Claus without knowing he was Kris Kringle in another sketch.<\/p>\n The costumes were part of the show as her music, from the strapless pink formal evening gown with which the night opened to the red bodysuit that sparkled during the finale.<\/p>\n Netflix first announced the special in September, and Carpenter teased in the trailer, \u201cChristmas is coming early this year. I wouldn\u2019t count on a silent night.\u201d<\/p>\n Just a few weeks prior, Carpenter was making headlines of another sort, her live performance of Shania Twain. During the Toronto stop on her Short n\u2019 Sweet Tour, the pop star from Pennsylvania surprised fans with a rendition of Twain\u2019s 1997 hit \u201cThat Don\u2019t Impress Me Much.\u201d<\/p>\n The show was no fluke. Twain, a national treasure in Canada where she grew up in Ontario, is adored, and Carpenter\u2019s rendition felt like a coming-home tribute. The show gained far over 500,000 views online, with comments like \u201cNow that impresses me\u201d and \u201cSabrina Carpenter getting in touch with her inner Shania, now that impresses me much!\u201d<\/p>\n As Twain viewed the clip, she was genuinely touched. Speaking with ET, she said, \u201cIt\u2019s just a huge compliment. I mean she is such a talented person. You know, she really does have a clue about what\u2019s going on behind the scenes. She\u2019s smart. It\u2019s a compliment to have her, I mean, not that she\u2019s paying homage, she\u2019s just a fan of music, and she\u2019s displaying it and expressing it. So, that\u2019s great.\u201d<\/p>\n The Short n\u2019 Sweet Tour, which launched only days after her Twain cover went viral, is Carpenter\u2019s first-ever arena headlining tour, an achievement mirrored in her record-breaking popularity. The tour is in support of her sixth studio album, Short n\u2019 Sweet, which was released last August, and features a rotating lineup of surprise cover songs. Including Twain\u2019s chart-topping song, she has performed ABBA\u2019s \u201cMamma Mia\u201d and Sixpence None the Richer\u2019s \u201cKiss Me.\u201d<\/p>\n For Twain, the admiration is mutual. For Carpenter, the timing couldn\u2019t be more fortuitous. Amid an arena tour, a Netflix stand-up special, and a co-sign from one of music\u2019s most legendary names, 2024 positioned her as a crossover force, and if Twain\u2019s commendation is anything to go by, a star whose talent and largesse shine just as brightly.<\/p>\n The post Shania Twain Says Sabrina Carpenter Is \u201cToo Popular To Have To Be Nice\u2026 But She\u2019s Nice Anyway\u201d<\/a> appeared first on Where Is The Buzz | Breaking News, Entertainment, Exclusive Interviews & More<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" When Shania Twain talks about pop sensation Sabrina Carpenter, the admiration is apparent.
