Shania Twain’s reunion with an old friend has gone viral online.
The “Man! I Feel Like a Woman!” singer took to the stage at Churchill Park Music Festival in St. John’s, Newfoundland, Canada, over the weekend. She performed on Friday, with an additional two encore performances on Saturday and Sunday.

“40,” Gloria replied, to which the country music star said: “Forty years, yes. I’m gonna be 59 in a few days or something.” Twain—whose real name is Eilleen Regina Edwards—celebrates her birthday on August 28.
