Shania Twain Joins Sabrina Carpenter for Surprise 'That Don't Impress Me Much' Duet at ACL

The cross‑generation cameo underscored Twain’s public endorsement of Carpenter’s country‑leaning era ahead of her Grand Ole Opry debut.

Overview

  • On Saturday, Oct. 4, at Austin’s Zilker Park, Sabrina Carpenter’s ACL headlining set featured a surprise duet with Shania Twain on the 1998 hit “That Don’t Impress Me Much.”
  • Before bringing Twain onstage, Carpenter told the crowd she wanted to give them “a little gift tonight,” introducing “the one and only Shania Twain.”
  • After the performance, both artists celebrated on Instagram, with Twain posting, “It’s like Loretta and Dolly except it’s SHANIA & SABRINA,” and Carpenter calling it the “crowd of my dreams.”
  • The collaboration follows their December 2024 acoustic “Santa Baby” on Carpenter’s Netflix special and Carpenter’s prior tour cover of Twain’s song.
  • Reports differed on the live crowd’s reaction, with one outlet describing it as muted, as Carpenter moves to a Grand Ole Opry debut on Oct. 7 and returns to ACL on Oct. 11.
