Shania Twain has admitted that she once got into an uncomfortable argument with Oprah Winfrey about religion.
Appearing on the Table Manners podcast on Wednesday (28 September), Twain was asked by host Jessie Ware about her most memorable dinner ever.
“I think one of my most memorable dinners was with Oprah Winfrey,” Twain said.
“I mean, she’s such a smart lady. And, you know, it was just great to just sit and have real talks, you know. But as soon as we started talking about religion, it all went sour. So I was like, ‘Oh, let’s stop talking about religion.’”
Twain continued: “She is quite religious. I’m not religious in the sense that I’m dedicated to a religion. I’m much more of a spiritual person. I’m much more of an inner– I’m a seeker. I would say I’m a seeker.
“That was like, ‘OK, yes. I’ve entered into –’ You know how everyone always says never talk about politics or religion? It just wasn’t debatable. There was no room for debate. And I like to debate, Canadians like to debate about it, you know, debate everything. So I’m like, ‘Oh OK, Sorry. Change subject.’”
Last week, Twain released her new single “Waking Up Dreaming” following a resurgence of interest in her music after “Man! I Feel Like A Woman” went viral on TikTok.
The 57-year-old also recently opened up about her experience with Lyme disease, explaining that the illness would make her black out while performing live.
