When Harry Styles revealed earlier this year he would be going to on a world tour, fans couldn't believe their luck when he announced he would be playing a record-breaking 12 nights at Wembley. But not only that, for every night in London, Harry would welcome special guest and country music queen Shania Twain.
Ahead of his Wembley gigs starting on Friday 12th June, Shania joined Hits Radio Breakfast with Fleur East, Will and James, to talk about receiving that personal invite from the 'Aperture' singer, and the touching story behind why Harry is a fan of her music.
Did Harry personally invite Shania to be his special guest?
When asked if Harry had personally invited her to join him for his UK leg, Shania revealed: "Harry DID personally invite me, and I feel like this is the invitation of my lifetime.
"It is such a compliment. He's at the top of the world and he doesn't need any support from any other artists. But I just feel very personally welcomed by him, and I know he really means it."
The singer who has previously shared a stage with him at Coachella, continued: "You know, we text, we don't talk on the phone, but we talk in person, obviously, but we text on the phone and his messages are very sincere. He's a very sincere guy.
"So it feels like a just a really sweet invitation that will be exciting as anything. I mean, this is such an historic stadium, and the fans are going to be just crazy. And a lot of our fans cross over, which makes it feel like home for me as well."
Was Harry a fan on Shania's growing up?
Shania then went on to reveal how as well as being a friend, Harry is a fan of her music, dating back to when he was a child. "He learned my music through his mother, and then just became his own fan," she explained.
"So there's a lot of, I think, 'Harrys' out there in the audience that probably have the same story about Shania Twain's music when they were kids."
