SHANIA Twain has been slammed by critics over her new collaboration with rapper Yung Gravy.
The country icon and 28-year-old musician debuted the single on Instagram to mixed reviews.
Yung Gravy, whose real name is Matthew Hauri, and Shania, 58, appeared in an Instagram video promoting the single on Monday.
When the video began, Yung Gravy appeared alone, sitting on a white couch.
The rapper was wearing a fluffy black jacket with a silky pink interior.
He donned a matching black cowboy hat and several silver and gold necklaces.
A few minutes into the song, Shania appeared.
She was wearing the same jacket with a silver sequin dress underneath.
The pair were singing a country melody about White Claw.
“Shania Twain and I are serving ‘White Claw’ this Friday June 7th. Pre-save at the link in bio baby,” the caption read.
Yung Gravy previously teased the track in a comedic video he posted on Instagram last week.
The clip showed Shania showing up at Yung Gravy’s door.

Upon realizing they’re wearing the same outfit, the pair alternate saying, “s**t.”
“We got something cookin’ for y’all… stay tuned,” the rapper captioned the post.
In the comments, fans weighed in on the song, with many making it clear that they weren’t feeling it.
“Go back to rap please,” one person wrote to Young Gravy.
Shania Twain’s Relationship History
Shania has been married twice, and there’s a unique link between their husbands.
1993
Shania married music producer Robert John “Mutt” Lange.
2001
Shania and Mutt welcomed a son, Eja. Shortly after Eja’s birth, they met and befriended married couple Marie-Anne and Frédéric Thiébaud in Switzerland, with Shania even hiring Marie-Anne as an assistant in running her home.
2008
Mutt surprised Shania by asking for a divorce, leading Shania to ask Marie-Anne if she’d noticed any strange behavior from him. Marie-Anne reassured Shania that nothing strange seemed to be going on.
Soon after, Shania learned that Marie-Anne and Mutt had been having an affair.
2010
Shania’s divorce was finalized, and the star was supported by Marie-Anne’s ex Frédéric – who found out about the affair before her – throughout the difficult time.
2011
Shania and Frédéric got married.
“Ugh… country?” a second commenter complained.
“I genuinely hope this is satire, or a tragic paid promo. I’m embarrassed for them,” yet a third commented.
“I’m so confused,” a fourth wrote, as another added, “This is terrible!”
“Just when country music couldn’t get any worse,” another commented.
SHOW STOPPER
Shania’s collaboration with Yung Gravy comes on the coattails of an awkward on-stage moment.
The Man! I Feel Like A Woman singer mistakes a prop for a microphone while performing during her Las Vegas residency.
Video from the concert shows the singer shaking out her hair, which hung down to her butt, and flaunting her figure in a black minidress and thigh-high boots.
She held her microphone in one hand and a sparkly prop in another.
While performing, it appeared that she got the two items confused, singing into the sparky prop.
Upon realizing her mistake, Shania laughed and quickly returned to singing.”Oh my god, that was hilarious!” she shouted, bending over to hold in her laughter.
She couldn’t seem to get over it, as she mimed singing into the prop again.
Her and the audience shared a laugh.
“I’m really glad somebody captured this moment, it’s made me laugh all over again,” she captioned the video.
KIND WORDS
Fans in the comments were quick to respond, with many praising the singer for her reaction to the mix-up.
“Haha thank goodness her vocals didn’t keep going when she did that, would have been real awkward. I actually love when singers make mistakes like this, it’s cute and makes them relatable a bit,” one person confessed.
“Oh damn, this is you. Nice sense of humor you’ve got there,” a second person wrote.
“That is funny. Happens to the best too,” another fan gushed.
“This is my fav video of literally all time,” a fourth fan gushed, adding a string of laughing emojis.
“Sorry Shania! I laughed out loud at this!” someone else shared.
“Hahahaha such a funny/iconic moment! You handled it perfectly! See you soon queen!!”
WIGGING OUT
While Shania is being praised for her handling of the recent blunder, she’s also been subject to some negativity.
Last week, the country-pop artist shared photos and videos from her weekend shows on social media.
The first photo showed Shania sitting on a motorcycle with one leg extended in the air.
She had on a sheer overcoat with a silver outfit underneath, matching metallic platform heels on, and a long platinum-blond wig.
A video shared by the star showed her sporting another long blond wig while performing Rosanna with Toto frontman David Paich.
Fans in the comments weren’t loving her wigs, with one person critiquing, “I know I will get feedback but I used to love Shania but I am not a fan of the wigs or clothes anymore.
“Granted her voice isn’t the same but do we also have to have the wigs and those costumes.”
“Lose the wigs,” demanded another.
“Why don’t you read the comments about you and your pink hair?” someone else complained.
“I miss your old look. You are a beauty without the wigs and crazy outfits,” someone else commented.
Shania has ignored the negativity for the most part.
She showed off a more natural look during an appearance on the How to Fail podcast, proving that her bizarre makeup removal method is working to maintain her youthful look.
