Viewers Call Shania Twain the ‘Worst Host Ever’ — What Happened During the 2024 People’s Choice Awards?

Another comment followed, “Worst host EVER!!!” Others shared similar sentiments, with one comment reading, “This show was a disaster” and another one stating, “What an awful show.” Yet another comment read, “Not the best of host tonight [sic]!”

Some users went further, criticizing both the event and Twain’s hosting. One viewer remarked, “This whole show has been an embarrassment. Especially Shania Twain. And before you attack me asking me if I can sing or dance or host a show, no, I can’t – but several years ago the show had the greats, and it’s no longer that way and she’s an embarrassment. Let it go, Shania.”

While many comments were negative, others defended Twain and appreciated her hosting. One user wrote, “She’s just a real girl! She’s an entertainer, people.” Another fan commented, “Awesome show tonight,” while one netizen enthusiastically said, “Shania is awesome!!”

Her outfit added to the spectacle, with the fringe detailing swaying as she greeted the audience. She completed the look with white gloves and a sparkling silver belt, giving a nod to her country roots with a modern twist.

The look was accessorized with long black gloves, which were adorned with beaded fringe that extended past her elbows, and a statement black choker that matched the beaded detailing.

A black top hat completed the outfit, perfectly tying together her playful, old-world magician aesthetic. Twain further elevated the look with a pair of knee-high black boots, adding an edgy vibe to the otherwise classic ensemble.

The country music icon, known for her standout fashion choices, graced the red carpet in a stunning all-denim ensemble that turned heads for both the right and wrong reasons. Twain, who hosted the awards on Peacock, wore a custom mermaid-style denim gown adorned with sparkling rhinestones.

Twain herself expressed her enthusiasm for the look, stating, “Isn’t it crazy? I love it. I was involved with the sketches and the design and the silhouette and everything. To me, that’s the joy. It’s not about putting on something that’s amazing—it’s about being part of it.”

One user wrote, “Totally ruined her looks,” while another added, “She’s not recognizable now; too sad.” Criticism of her blonde hair was a common theme, with one comment reading, “Yikes 😬 that doesn’t suit her. Blonde not so much either.” Another fan commented, “What a shame,” while someone else suggested, “Bring back the brunette [color!].”

While some fans expressed disappointment, others were completely in awe of Twain’s striking appearance. One enthusiastic admirer gushed, “I only have one word: WOW. SHE LOOKS SO DAMN GOOD MY JAW LITERALLY JUST DROPPED @shaniatwain 😱😍💗.”

Another fan embraced the Barbie-inspired look, saying, “It’s giving country Barbie [vibes] and I love it!! 😍.” Yet another netizen echoed the sentiment, writing, “@shaniatwain looking like a beautiful Barbie doll with that hair. Love it 🔥🔥🔥🔥.”

One playful comment even dubbed her outfit “Canadian Tuxedo Barbie,” referencing the denim-on-denim style reminiscent of the classic Canadian tuxedo look.

“It was really about my throat surgery,” Twain explained when asked about the struggles she’s faced in recent years. “I lost my voice, my singing voice, for several years. Regaining that [and] having to go through open-throated surgery to get it back reset my reality.”

“The creative element of the industry,” Twain shared, is what fuels her. “I love new songwriting. I love design and production. There’s so much more that goes into being an artist than just standing on the stage and singing — even though, of course, that’s a very big part.”

While Shania Twain’s hosting performance at the 2024 People’s Choice Country Awards stirred up mixed reactions, both her fashion and fearless approach to the evening kept her in the spotlight. Whether it was her bold outfits or her role as host, Twain once again proved that she’s never afraid to push boundaries and get people talking.
