The 58-year-old country music sensation took to social media on Sunday, June 2nd, to share a humorous moment from her recent Las Vegas concert.

Glad you're still having fun and enjoying what you do!" Another fan added, "The way you smoothly carried on from this is incredible and completely in the moment ️️️️."
Some fans took the chance to dispel any rumors about Twain not singing live at her shows. "Proof she isn't lip syncing," one person pointed out. Another fan agreed, saying, "That shows she is really singing live."
Twain is currently performing at her Planet Hollywood residency, Come On Over – The Las Vegas Residency – All The Hits!, which started earlier this month.

She shared her happiness about being back on stage, loving life, sharing her new music, and feeling truly content. Twain mentioned her hope to bring inspiration and positivity to her audience.
This residency, titled Come on Over, is Twain's third time performing in Vegas.

I Feel Like a Woman," "From This Moment On," "You're Still the One," and "That Don't Impress Me Much."

The country singer faced health issues that made her uncertain about her music career. It took seven years for doctors to discover that nerve damage to her vocal cords was caused by Lyme disease. She recalled getting bit by a Lyme tick while horseback riding in the forest.
