Shania Twain has performed the esteemed legend’s slot at Glastonbury 2024 – here’s what she played.
After previously teasing that she wanted to “borrow” a horse for her performance at Worthy Farm, the country and pop icon arrived with an army of drag queens, all holding up toy horses.
The legend kicked off her set with ‘That Don’t Impress Me Much’, followed by ‘Don’t Be Stupid (You Know I Love You)’ and ‘You Win My Love’. Later on in the set, she amassed a loud and passionate singalong during ‘You’re Still The One’.

Fans have also expressed their concerned for Shania’s voice during the performance, with some remarking that she sounded “awful”, while other questioned if the mix for her set was “off”.
Shania Twain’s Glastonbury 2024 setlist was:
‘That Don’t Impress Me Much’
‘Don’t Be Stupid (You Know I Love You)’
‘You Win My Love’
‘Up!’
‘I’m Gonna Getcha Good!’
‘You’re Still The One’
‘Forever and Always’
‘Come On Over’
‘Any Man Of Mine’
‘Giddy Up!’
‘Whose Bed Have Your Boots Been Under?’
‘Honey, I’m Home’
‘From This Moment On’
‘(If You’re Not In It For Love) I’m Outta Here!’
‘Man! I Feel Like A Woman!’
In a three-star review of her Glasto performance, NME shared: “You can’t argue with the songs, her voice or the way her guitarists shred their axes, though. The rumoured Harry Styles appearance obviously doesn’t come off, but there’s enough camp to go around when she hams up it during an acapella section of ‘You’re Still the One’ and her fiddle player absolutely loses it during ‘Any Man of Mine’. By the time she inevitably closes with ‘Man! I Feel Like A Woman!’ and pink flares stream across a field full of cowboys and gals belting it out karaoke-style (“Man’s shirts! Short skirt!”), you’d have to admit she’s revved the crowd up pretty well.”
