Shania Twain took to the stage at this year’s 2022 People’s Choice Awards on Dec. 6. Twain performed a combination of her beloved hits before accepting The Music Icon Award.
During her performance of “That Don’t Impress Me Much,” Twain switched up her famous Brad Pitt lyric by replacing his name with that of Ryan Reynolds.
Twain sang, “OK, so you’re Ryan Reynolds. That don’t impress me much.” During the show, Reynolds, who received The People’s Icon Award later that evening, laughed and looked surprised to be mentioned by the iconic singer.
In a video clip featuring part of the show, he wrote, “This may be the best thing that’s ever happened to me.”

Twain also posted on social media. In a post on her Twitter account, while referencing Ryan Reynolds, she said, “Sorry not Sorry,” to which he replied,
I can’t think of a more iconic, smart and beautiful person to not impress all that much. Thank you for an amazing night, @ShaniaTwain ❤️ https://t.co/od2KsUoo2s

The night to remember for both stars was reflected in their awards. Billy Porter presented Twain with her award, and as she spoke, she said her “wish is to always inspire people” with her music. The multiple Grammy award winner then gave a moving message to her fans, saying,
“I always miss my mother at these moments in my life. She would have loved watching her little girl living this moment right now. But you know what? My fans, my friends, my team, you are the ones who really fill that space. I mean, not my mother’s space, but I just think that you’re here with me, and we’re celebrating together, and you’ve made me feel loved and special my whole working life, and I’ll always be grateful for that.”
