A visibly excited Shania Twain said Friday that her splashy new Las Vegas show represents the most "personal journey" of her music career - but she wouldn't have been able to get through the lengthy preparation process without the support of her husband, Frederic Thiebaud.
On the eve of the premi猫re of Shania: Still the One, Twain told a news conference at Caesars Palace that she's been focused so intensely on her new show that she's only seen sunlight about once per week.
But she's clearly thrilled about the process, gushing about the ambitious production, which will take place at Caesars' dazzling Colosseum.
She said the show will feature a horse, as well as other elements of nature and her first-ever onstage duet with her sister, Carrie.
Twain joked that if she hits any off-notes, the audience will know it's Carrie's fault - but also got serious, saying the sisters wish their mother was alive to see the show.
While Twain said that she's never had a "more exciting" show, she also conceded that the 'round-the-clock preparations had her leaning on her Swiss husband - whom she married in 2011 - more than usual.
"Oh, he's a daily support," said Twain, clad in a beige sweater with pale gold jeans and knee-high black leather boots. "I can't live without him. I need that support. I need him, and I just need what we have."
