Shania Twainis ready to get back on stage.

“I love Vegas. I love it there. I love the food. I love the people. I love the visitors. There’s different flags in the audience all the time and it’s fun,” she says. “Everybody’s there to party and that’s what I’m there to do. So it’s great. And the sound is great. It’s just wonderful.”

“There’s a lot of visual art going on. It’s high energy because I’m hyperactive anyway so I’m everywhere. And then I feed off the audience,” she adds.

Twain teased that she’s also looking forward to February, when she’ll host a special Valentine’s Day show that she describes as “very romantic.”

Twain also shared that she looks forward to being in Las Vegas while other stars have their residencies. (Among those heading to Vegas areCarrie Underwood,Céline Dion,Katy Perry, among others.)

“Whoever’s in town, we go see each other’s shows. I’ve seen more shows in Vegas than anywhere else, because we’re all stationary for a little while. We’ve got a few days here. We might have the same day off or whatever,” she says. “I’m always hanging out with the artists backstage and they’re coming to my show. We have dinner. Yes, that happens. It’s awesome.”

“I love to cook. I’ve cooked forDavid Copperfieldafter his show at about 3 in the morning,” she says.

Twain also had some kind words for none other thanTaylor Swift, as she shared how theevermoreartist inspires her.

“I admire Taylor for a lot of things. I mean, she’s a songwriter. She is brilliant as a performer, she’s smart, confident and unapologetic,” says Twain. “She’s just a really great role model in my opinion. I think there are so many women in country that are more and more coming into their own as songwriters and lyricists.”
