• Shania Twain surprises fans with a new collaboration with McDonald’s called “Shania’s Sides.”
• The 59-year-old singer fondly reminisced on the days before stardom when she once worked at a McDonald’s in Canada.
• The singer’s limited-time collaboration with the fast food giant includes a special edition fry flavor, a strawberry pie, and a keychain keepsake for fans who order an Extra Value Meal.

Before she was packing arenas and singing about men who really don’t impress her much, Shania Twain was slinging fries and rocking those McDonald’s golden arches. Now, nearly four decades later, the country-pop queen is back where it all started, but this time, she’s in charge.

In a delicious full-circle moment, the “Man! I Feel Like a Woman” singer has teamed up with McDonald’s Canada to launch “Shania’s Sides,” a limited-time collection of mouthwatering extras that hit participating Canadian locations this past week. In true Shania fashion, the campaign is already turning heads (and appetites) thanks to its mix of nostalgia and some very stylish potatoes.

Leading Shania’s deliciously glam lineup is the All Dressed McShaker Fries which is a play on the Canadian chip aisle classic and coated in a sweet/salty/savory “All Dressed” seasoning. And because Shania’s not the kind of woman to forget dessert, the collab also comes with the fan-favorite Strawberry Pie for the sugar-coated mic drop you would only expect from the popstar.

Luckily, it doesn’t just stop there. For fans looking to take a piece of Shania on the road, there’s a limited-edition cowboy boot keychain available with the purchase of an Extra Value Meal, but like a good pair of boots at a thrift shop, once they’re gone, they’re gone.

“This collaboration feels like a homecoming for me,” Shania admitted. “I fell in love with McDonald’s fries while working as a crew member in Toronto, so being able to dress them up with my personal touch was surreal. Whether you’re enjoying your All Dressed McShaker Fries, or gearing up for a big moment, life is just more exciting when you’re all dressed up.”

Shania’s Canadian fans are jumping at the opportunity to try the singer’s menu items and it’s going viral on social media already. But, with all the hype, us American fans aren’t too thrilled that we can’t get Shania’s Sides here in the States. After seeing a TikTok post of what fans are able to get their hands on in Canada, the comments exploded with people joking that they’re ready to cross the border just to get a taste of the new collaboration. They let their feelings known in the comments section with messages like “Cries in American” and “Oh it’s in Canada now I’m upset.” Another wrote, “I NEED THIS. Why can’t it be in the U.S.?” and one commented, “I wish the US had these I’d be there bright and early for the keychain.”

Despite not having access to the delicious looking sides, we love seeing Shania make these fun career moves that no one sees coming. After all, it’s a full-circle moment for the singer. Before her global stardom, she was working the drive-thru, headset and all, where she says she found joy in the rhythm of taking orders and serving up smiles.

Now, she’s doing it all over again, but this time, with a little more seasoning and a lot more sparkle. Whether you’re a longtime fan or just in it for the seasoned fries, “Shania’s Sides” are proof that sometimes, the best way to move forward…is to circle back (preferably with a pie!).
