A new viral clip has given fans one of the most delightfully relatable Shania Twain moments in years — the day she walked into a small-town bakery, spotted a slightly overcooked pie, and good-naturedly tried to negotiate the price like any everyday shopper.
The video, recorded by another customer who didn’t initially realize who she was filming, begins with Shania examining a rack of fresh pastries. She picks up a rustic-looking berry pie, turns it in her hands, and squints at the darker-than-usual crust. With a playful shake of her head, she calls out to the woman behind the counter:
“Now hold on… this pie’s a little burnt, isn’t it?”
Her tone is teasing, light, and unmistakably mischievous.
The cashier laughs and agrees that the edges came out “a bit crispier than planned.” Shania raises an eyebrow dramatically, as if delivering a punchline on stage.
“So,” she continues, “what kind of discount does a girl get for a pie with… extra personality?”
The two women burst into laughter, and the small bakery suddenly falls silent as people begin recognizing the familiar voice. Once someone whispers, “Is that Shania Twain?”, heads snap around, eyes widen, and a few quiet gasps ripple through the shop. But Shania, unfazed, keeps chatting about the pie like any practical customer.
She points to the crust again and jokes, “I’m just saying — this half is regular price, this half is… slightly toasted.”
Even the baker comes out from the kitchen, amused and a little starstruck. “I can’t believe you’re bargaining over a pie,” he tells her.
Shania grins. “Hey, I bargain over everything. I grew up this way!”
Eventually, the baker offers her a lighthearted deal: half price for the “crispy-edged special.” The crowd cheers, and Shania lifts the pie triumphantly above her head like she just won a trophy.
But the moment doesn’t end there.
When the person filming finally approaches her and says, “I can’t believe Shania Twain is here arguing over pie,” Shania puts a hand on her hip and answers:
“Well, I’m not arguing — I’m negotiating. There’s a difference!”
Her delivery is so charismatic, so effortlessly funny, that the clip took off on social media within hours. Fans flooded the comments:
-
“This is the most Canadian thing she could’ve done.”
-
“Imagine bargaining for pastries and SHANIA TWAIN walks in.”
-
“Burnt pie? That don’t impress me much — unless it’s discounted!”
What people loved most about the moment wasn’t the celebrity factor; it was how completely unpolished and human it felt. No entourage. No staged photos. Just Shania being charming, witty, and beautifully normal.
Before leaving the bakery, she thanked everyone, posed for a couple of quick selfies, and joked that she would “rescue the pie from its tragic edges.”
Fans say the clip is one of the sweetest reminders of why Shania remains such a beloved figure: she’s glamorous onstage, iconic in music history — and utterly, wonderfully relatable when faced with a slightly burnt pie.
A true queen of both hits and humor.
