Shania Twain says Las Vegas’ creative spirit helped her “push the limits” in her residency

Shania Twain’s lengthy Las Vegas residency is coming to an end this month, as the singer closes out her final run of shows on September 10.

As her residency winds down, the country legend says she’s grateful to the city where she’s spent so much time as a performer in recent years. Vegas, Shania explains to Billboard, is a hotbed of creative inspiration.

“The whole attitude of the city as far as entertainment goes is: ‘What can we do better? How can we get better all the time?’ That attitude, for me, that’s growth,” the singer says. “That’s a healthy, positive way to look at entertainment. There’s nothing stagnant about it.”

When it came time to plan her Vegas residency, Shania says the creative energy of the city helped her “push the limits” of her stage production, and the glitz and glamour of her show.

“You’re not gonna shine any better than you shine in Las Vegas, and they set it up that way!” she says. “Everyone wants to win, everyone wants success for every show. I feel like it’s a community in that sense.”
