Shania Twain announced the second leg of her 2023 "Queen of Me Tour." Due to demand following the announcement of the first leg, Shania is adding 19 new fall dates to her tour. The tour supports Shania's forthcoming album, Queen of Me, out on February 3, 2023.

Leg two kicks off on Thursday, October 12, in San Antonio, TX at the AT&T Center, with stops across North America in Nashville, Toronto, Buffalo, Edmonton and more before wrapping up on Tuesday, November 14 at Rogers Arena in Vancouver.

"The Queen of Me Tour" marks one of Shania's biggest tours to date, with over 70 dates taking place across North America and Europe next year. This is also her first tour in nearly five years following her residency run in Las Vegas.

Tickets for the newly added dates go on sale starting Friday, December 16, at LiveNation.com.

Twain and Live Nation have announced that $1 of every ticket purchased to Shania's "Queen Of Me" Tour will be donated to Shania Kids Can (SKC.) Established in 2010 by Twain, SKC provides services that promote positive change in children's lives in times of crises and economic hardship. SKC provides children with one-on-one consultations, academic support, group activities, and nutritious snacks and meal programs where needed, all while in the safe, confidence-building environment that is the Shania Kids Can Clubhouse. These children are learning the skills to cope with and overcome family hardships which, in turn, improves their ability to succeed in school.

Tonight (12/6), Shania will also receive the Music Icon award at the People's Choice Awards.

The People's Choice Awards will air on NBC and E! at 9:00 pm ET/6:00 pm PT from the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, CA.
