Watch Reel Stories: Shania Twain – Preview

Presenter Dermot O’Leary cosies up to Shania Twain to discuss the pop superstar’s rollercoaster career. With five Grammy Awards and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, she’s one of the best-selling music artists of all time. Not impressed much? Then you should also know that she’s bagged the “Legends” slot at this year’s Glastonbury Festival. The interview is set to be intimate, candid and full of archival footage, and our guide below explains how to watch Reel Stories: Shania Twain online from anywhere – and for FREE on BBC iPlayer.

The BBC's Reel Stories series finds O’Leary in conversation with some of the biggest names in the music business: reminiscing about TV interviews, unforgettable concerts, and waxing lyrical about the highs and lows of their show business journey. Previous guests have included the Pet Shop Boys, Kylie Minogue, and Jon Bon Jovi, and now the “Queen of Country Pop” is getting the This is Your Life treatment.

Chatting within the intimate interior of an old London cinema, Twain reflects on formative moments from her three decade-long career. Performing in local clubs as early as eight years old to help make ends meet, the “You’re Still The One” singer hit the big time in the ’90s and ’00s with the release of a trio of hugely successful albums: The Woman in Me (1995), Come On Over (1997) and Up! (2002).

Although Lyme disease forced Twain to take a hiatus, she overcame adversity and released Now in 2017. Her first studio album in 15 years, it rocketed straight to number one. She’s currently on her third Las Vegas residency. And, as she excitedly explains to O’Leary, she’s about to make her Glastonbury Festival debut on Sunday, June 30 (which you can catch with our Glastonbury 2024 viewing guide).
