Shania Twain gave fans a bit of a fright when she took a tumble on stage this weekend.
But, in true Shania style, she recovered from the mishap like a pro.
Performing at Credit Union 1 Amphitheater in Tinley Park, Illinois on Saturday (July 1), the country musician gave the crowd a night to remember.
Belting out all her hits, the 57-year-old looked sensational in a series of glitzy costumes, including a sparkly silver dress and glittery thigh-high boots, which she wore when her stumble occurred.
Shania was performing her 1997 song Don’t Be Stupid (You Know I Love You) when she made her way to the side of the stage to be closer to the audience.
The Canadian crooner seemed to get a little too confident with her strutting, however, when her right foot skidded and she ended up on her bum.

Ever the pro, Shania – born Eilleen Edwards – didn’t miss a note, and carried on singing as she gracefully got back up and laughed off the awkward moment.
She cautiously tested the friction of the slippery spot on the stage where she fell before smashing through the rest of her set and putting on a killer show.
TMZ later reported that the singer was not injured, while fans told the outlet that ‘the packed crowd did not react when Shania took her spill’ because she continued with the show so smoothly.
Shania is currently travelling with her Queen Of Me tour, which will arrive in Bethel, New York on July 3.
The Man! I Feel Like A Woman hitmaker has been open about the challenges she’s faced with her voice over the years.

While she’s still very much able to get an audience in the palm of her hand, Shania was once terrified she wouldn’t be able to sing again.
In 2018, the chart-topper went under the knife to repair damage to her vocal cords caused by Lyme disease, which she contracted 15 years earlier.
Speaking to Metro, she explained that the successful procedure even helped her overcome her career-long struggle with stage fright.
‘I would freak out before going on stage, it was such an anxiety panic-attack situation,’ she said. ‘I’ve learned a lot about mind over matter, more than ever before. Since my surgery, I’ve learned I am so lucky that I am able to sing. It’s like, “Wow, OK, the last thing I want to be, or should be, is afraid to get out there”.’

The I’m Gonna Getcha Good! singer added: ‘I’ve recovered from this very difficult surgery that may have left me without my voice. It may not have worked. I’m just grateful to be here.
‘It’s unfortunate that I couldn’t get there without a crisis, but I’m just happy that I’m there now.’
