Shania is also, in trademark fashion, breaking out some more stunning looks for the new run of shows, ranging from her familiar black mini dress and top hat combo, to a jaw-dropping black ball gown with a huge ruffled skirt for a performance of the track "From This Moment."
The dress is so huge, in fact, that the singer even had a name for it — Fiona. "She's called Fiona and she probably weighs, I am guessing, around 20 pounds, maybe more, maybe even 20 to 30 pounds," she revealed.

Elaborating more on the construction of the outfit, which she shared took "weeks" to make, she added: "She is a structure. I designed her."
"I already knew what it was meant to be and then it was just about adding the right amount. It was kind of like putting a puzzle together. But I already knew what [the] puzzle was going to look like, what it wanted it to look like. It's a production to get her in place, to get her on, to get her off."
