Twain announced the tour alongside the album Queen of Me on October 28, 2022, through her Instagram account:
"I want to celebrate this new chapter with you all on my tour! Vegas has been a dream, but I'm ready to be on the road and sing with you, dance with you and have a kick ass night out with you! This one's gonna be a big party—no inhibitions, no conditions, let's get a little out of line!! I'll be Queen of Me—you be Queen of YOU!" [4] [5]
The tour was scheduled to kick off on April 28, 2023, in Spokane, United States and set to conclude on September 26, 2023, in Birmingham, United Kingdom, comprising 49 shows across North America and Europe. Tickets were go on sale on November 4, 2022, though pre-sales available on November 1, 2022, and she also announced that $1 from each ticket is donated to her children-focused charity, Shania Kids Can. [6] On November 28, 2022, Twain added five additional dates to the tour, including extra shows in Moncton and Glasgow, and new shows in Bethel, New Orleans, and Leeds. [7] [8]

[9]
Sterling Whitaker from Taste of Country praised the show, calling it "one of the most elaborate productions of her entire career." [10] While RETROPOP calling it "a dazzling set of new material, career classics, and deep cuts." [11] From Variety , Chris Willman reported on Twain's Hollywood Bowl show, citing, "when [Twain] pulled ["Man! I Feel Like a Woman!"] out as her inevitable final encore number Saturday, it still felt like it was cresting." [12] On the subject of Twain's new material against old, Roman Gokham from RIFF Magazine praised the setlist, stating, "Shania Twain was every bit the pop-country diva at her sold-out show… But nearly as impressive was how well the songs from her new album, Queen of Me, fit in alongside the classics." [13] While Joel Swenson from The Current reported on Shania Twain herself, citing, "two things were abundantly clear throughout Twain's set. First, she was having an absolute blast, as were her band and dancers... Secondly, Shania Twain really loves her fans. Besides shaking hands and fist-bumping people during the opening number, she found plenty of other opportunities to interact with fans." [14]
Marc Bearden from Palm Springs Tribune praised the Palm Springs show, quoted as saying, "it truly was a celebration of all things Shania." [15] From Tulsa World, Andrea Eger stating, "thanks to Twain, it was fans' prerogative to have a little fun and leave the joint on a show-ending high." [16] While Laura Klokowski from Music and Tour News praised the first-ever concert at Geodis Park in Nashville, saying, "....she delivered a barnstorming set of old and new hits with stunning moments of intimacy thrown in..... Overall, Shania Twain showcased just why she is the queen of pop-country with an electric set that showcased her incredible on-stage presence." [17] From Le Journal de Québec, Yves Leclerc reported on Shania Twain's Videotron Centre show, citing, "Shania Twain on fire, fit and entertaining." [18]
Matt Bailey from The Music Universe proclaimed, "a Shania Twain show is not complete without some sparkle. After all, the glam is an extension of Twain's empowering music: it screams individuality and self-confidence." [19] Twain's show at PNC Music Pavilion in Charlotte, NC was critically acclaimed by several news outlets. Théoden Janes from Charlotte Observer reported, "Shania put on a masterclass in country-music show-womanship, delivering energetic, joy-filled renditions of hits from 20-plus years ago in a variety of clever stagings, while wearing outfits that no doubt sparked conversations." [20] While Jeff Hahne from Queen City Nerve who was also in attendance at the Charlotte show, wrote, "for fans in Charlotte on Wednesday night, one thing was clear: Shania Twain is still the one fans want… Shania Twain delivered a solid performance from start to finish." [21]
Shania's Queen Of Me Tour continued in the United Kingdom and Ireland in September. Tara Hepburn from The Skinny gave opening night at OVO Hydro in Glasgow a 5 star review, quoted as saying, "Shania Twain's Queen of Me Tour has it all and more", [22] while Katie Hawthorne from The Guardian reported, "Backed by cowboys and aliens, the all-conquering country-pop outlier dons that leopard-print catsuit and leads her crowd through hit after hit". [23] Thomas Curtis-Horsfall from Smooth Radio was in attendance of the shows at The O2 Arena in London, quoted as saying, "I wouldn't have thought it possible for a legendary star to have as much fun during a concert as her crowds, but Shania - in this new era of self-acceptance, self-confidence, and contentment - made it possible." [24] Alastair James from Attitude Magazine, simply stated, "This is how it's done" with a glowing 5-star review.
