***The tweet doesn't match what Shania is talking about in the Billboard interview. When she said "think purple" she was talking about her secret being announced on January 26. Not her show.

***My guess is she's attending (maybe performing) the Grammys in Los Angeles on January 26 and receiving some type of achievement award. The night before Shania will be the honoree at the annual Nevada Ballet Theatre Black & White Ball at Caesars Palace where she will be named Nevada Ballet Theatre Woman of the Year.
It doesn't sound like Shania's "secret" is about the Grammys afterall. There'll be some kind of announcement on Jan. 26.
Vegas @Vegas
We’re excited for #LetsGoVegas! You’re still the one … and one important piece of something BIG we can’t wait to share with everyone on Jan. 26! What’s it all about? Stay tuned!
“When I say, ‘What Happens Here,’ you say, ‘Only Happens Here!’ ” Tyler told the packed house. Tyler asked this, by my count, four times — including once near the end of the show, with onstage cameramen trained on him and the crowd.
The effort, and the legendary rock band, is reportedly in the upcoming campaign to unveil “What Happens Here Only Happens Here” as Las Vegas’s new tourism slogan. This is an upgrade of the city’s “What Happens Here, Stays Here” campaign.
That phrase, the result of a partnership between the LVCVA and R&R Partners, was unleashed on the public in 2003.
Hints peppering social media indicate a full rollout of the new slogan on Jan. 26. LVCVA officials have not responded to inquiries about the updated branding effort, but here is what we know:
Tyler uncorked “What Happens Here, Only Happens Here” to a theater of full-throated fans on Tuesday night. The band’s IG page followed with a message, “You know we oly do ‘Amazing’ things. Which is why we’ve teamed up with #Vegas to create the next big thing for the city … Find out more January 26th, 2020!”
Shania Twain recorded her own promotional clip on Fremont Street and at the Palms last Monday, riding a horse along the FSE promenade as fans observed from behind metal barriers. Twain didn’t specify the reason for all the hubub, but did tag the LVCVA’s @Vegas account on social media, adding, “Vegas is full of secrets … I just learned another Stay tuned 1/26/20.” The @vegas official account responded, “You’re still the one … and one important piece of something BIG we can’t wait to share with everyone on Jan. 26! What’s it all about? Stay tuned!”
Lady Gaga bandleader Brian Newman, too, teased to the Jan. 26 date — he made a quick trip to Las Vegas from New York last week, posting an IG video as he left.
And, those familiar with the campaign report Zappos Theater resident headliners Gwen Stefani and Christina Aguilera have also participated.
More tangible info about this Vegas messaging is found on Linkedin, oddly enough. One Daphne Baxter, a brand and content strategist with New York agency Idea Loft, has posted in her profile: “More recently, Daphne refreshed Las Vegas’s iconic ‘What Happens Here Stays Here’ positioning to “What Happens Here Only Happens Here” in an effort to inject new intrigue for the brand and broaden its appeal to a more diverse audience.’ “
Consider our interest piqued, and our expectations lofty, for Jan. 26.
Can you believe my #LetsGoVegas residency starts next week and it's been 7 years today since the opening show of my 'Still The One' residency 😍 Who was there back in 2012? I want to hear your memories!

***Shania and Fred attended the National Finals Rodeo at Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas on Monday, December 9. Allie Burgett sang the National Anthem and sat in a suite with Shania and Fred.

Shania Twain delivers a very Vegas opening at Planet Hollywood
By John Katsilometes | Las Vegas Review-Journal | December 8, 2019
How’s this going to go down? Shania Twain will tell you.
“You can stand during this show,” Twain told her full-house crowd at Zappos Theater on Saturday night. “Get your butts up and out of your seats. This is a party.”
So simple. With equal measures of confidence and comfort, Twain opened her “Let’s Go!” residency this weekend at the busy Planet Hollywood theater.
The show illustrates Twain’s seemingly seamless range as an artist. While it’s common for music artists to reinvent themselves over the course of a career, Twain manages it between numbers.
She opens with a song indicative of her rock-country attitude, “Rock This Country,” ascending down a red-carpeted staircase, the American flag flying across the LED screens and flames firing from the stage. Twain’s octet of backing dancers, who give the show additional Vegas panache, spend much of the show shirtless and wearing assorted vests.
Given Twain’s Canadian heritage, these gents could be known as the Thunder From Up North.
Soon, she’s seated on the fully-stacked bar at the Twain Saloon, casually imbibing from a sparkly sippy cup, not knowing if the clear beverage is gin or vodka. “I prefer champagne,” she says. “I’ll drink it through a straw. I need to conserve my lipstick!”
Hey. Idea. Shania Shampagne, served in commemorative bedazzled cups, should be offered at Zappos Theater.
A the creative director of this show, Twain has promised to push the limits of a Vegas residency. It’s a tall order, given the investment and imagination in the ongoing Gwen Stefani and Christina Aguilera productions. But Twain did her ground work, landing on Zappos Theater specifically because of its party atmosphere (including its standing pit at the front of the stage) and “gentle rake” that allows her to look her fans at close to eye level.
For local flavor, Las Vegas entertainment followers will recognize violinist Chandra Meibalane of Nina Di Gregorio’s Femmes of Rock, and also David Perrico’s Pop Strings lineup at Cleopatra’s Barge.
As a producer, Twain relishes such ode-to-Vegas video elements as tumbling dice and spinning slot reels, with fake cash showering the crowd at the jackpot moment. She swaps out her costumes six times — a full golden gown especially eye-popping — without sacrificing the show’s crisp pace. At one point, the backing dancers wear a similar style of LED-trimmed suits used in “Michael Jackson One” at Mandalay Bay.
The set list covered the span of Shania’s career, a musical serpentine through “Up! ” “You Don’t Impress Me Much,” “Any Man of Mine,” and “Forever And For Always.” She nodded to her most recent release, 2017’s “Now,” with the title track and “Life’s About To Get Good” (click here for the full setlist).
Twain dials it down to introduce her pet pooch, Melody, who reclines on a lounge and (metaphorically) gobbles up the scenery. The moment hints to Twain’s “Still The One” show at the Colosseum from 2012-2014, when she invited a horse onstage to sing the show’s title number.
Twain also invited a quartet of fans onstage for a saloon dance. Later, she corralled a couple to a candle-lit table for “From This Moment On.” Twain ends in a flourish, and not bothering with an encore, for “Man I Feel Like A Woman,” in an all-black ensemble replete with a top hat as her dancers wore white tux jackets and matching hats. Formal and casual, all at once.
Twain showed her ease onstage throughout, at one point using a magic wand to flip away the hair falling into her face (the use of the prop might or might not have been inspired by her friendship with Carrot Top).
Midway through the show, she joked that she had began her recording career at age 8, or “twenty-two years ago!”
“That makes me 28 now,” she announced. “Wait! No, it would make me 30!”
She laughed, saying, “I failed math! I failed math twice, actually. I did graduate eventually. But it doesn’t matter now!”
True. For Shania Twain and Las Vegas, it all adds up.
