'It will be our song.' Watch Shania Twain make up a ballad for Oklahoma during Tulsa show

TULSA — It started out as a typical moment you might see at any concert.

During Shania Twain's sold-out show Saturday night at Tulsa's BOK Center, one enthusiastic concertgoer screamed out, "I love you, Shania!" during a brief break between songs.

The "Queen of Country Pop" responded with the usual, "I love you, too," but she didn't stop there.

Already perched on a stool in front of her microphone stand with her guitar in hand, the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Famer then spent several minutes making up on the spot a heartfelt ballad about just how much she loved Oklahoma.

"I promise you, that's a song," Twain said after warbling a few lines. "I'll write it, I'll finish it, and then it will be our song."

The best-selling female artist in country music history, who is on the road with her "Queen of Me Tour," even invited her opening act, "Cross Country" up-and-comer Breland, back to the stage to serenade the audience with her.

"We're writing a song right now. We're just doing this in the minute, and that's fine, because, Breland, you're so talented," Twain assured the "My Truck" hitmaker, who returned to stage with a big hug and even bigger smile for Twain.

With the word "Tulsa" shining brightly on the video screen behind them, the pair spent the next few minutes crooning improvised verses of a song the superstar called "Oklahoma, I Love You, Too."

The Tulsa show marked Breland's debut on Twain's "Queen of Me Tour," which is also spotlighting rising country artists like Lindsay Ell, Hailey Whitters, Kelsea Ballerini and Mickey Guyton.

Breland told the Oklahoma audience during his entertaining set that he missed his 10-year high school reunion Saturday night to perform his first show on the icon's tour.

"I'm gonna be fan-girling when Shania comes out just like y'all," he confessed to the crowd during his set.

The improvised song wasn't the only time Twain paid tribute to her loyal devotees during her Tulsa concert, where the high-definition video backdrop featured for a time the word "Oklahoma" in large candy-colored letters.

The "Man! I Feel Like a Woman!" hitmaker threw in a medley of fan favorites like "She's Not Just a Pretty Face," "Waiter! Bring Me Water!" and "When" that she hasn't regularly performed in concert prior to this tour. She brought a nightclub intimacy to the arena by inviting six pairs of concertgoers to stand at little tables on stage while she crooned her ardent chart-topper "From This Moment On."

Twain even invited two Oklahoma City hairstylists in the audience — one dressed in a replica Twain's iconic costume from the "Man! I Feel Like a Woman!" music video and the other paying homage to the superstar's memorable outfit from the "That Don't Impress Me Much" video — to join her on stage after seeing a video they posted on Instagram.
