Shania Twain recalls a VERY awkward dinner with Oprah Winfrey that ‘went sour’ when they started talking about religion: ‘There was no room for debate’
Shania Twain has revealed that she once had a very awkward moment with talk show icon Oprah Winfrey over dinner, when the conversation turned to religion.
The 57-year-old country singer sat down for a podcast interview on Table Manners with Jessie and Lennie Ware to promote latest single Waking Up Dreaming, and revealed how things quickly turned ‘sour’ with Oprah, 68.
While she explained that it was ‘one of my most memorable dinners’ with Oprah, that took place at a restaurant, Shania recalled how she could sense a disagreement between them over their religious beliefs.
‘It was great to just and have real talks, but as soon as we started talking about religion, it all went sour,’ Shania said.
Shania Twain’s latest single Waking Up Dreaming was released earlier this month. And during her promotional tour for the song, the country singer sat down for a podcast interview on Table Manners with Jessie and Lennie Ware.
‘So, I said, “Let’s stop talking about religion,”‘ adding that Oprah ‘is quite religious.’
The country singer called Oprah ‘a smart lady.’
She clarified her position on the topic, noting that she’s ‘not religious in the sense that I’m dedicated to a religion. I’m much more of a spiritual person. I would say I’m a seeker.’
The 57-year-old artist recalled a dinner she had with Oprah Winfrey, which went ‘sour’ after they started talking about religion.
Shania, who was born in Windsor, Ontario, Canada, further hinted how things got awkward between herself and Oprah, making the point to say that she likes to debate things.
She added: ‘There was no room for debate, and I like to debate. Canadians like to debate everything. So, I’m like, “Oh, OK. It’s time to change the subject.’
The singer explained that at the time of the dinner, the star was open to having a conversation about their religious differences but said ‘it just wasn’t debatable,’ and didn’t elaborate.
During the podcast, the star repeated the phrase: ‘Everyone always says, “Never talk about politics or religion.’
