Back in December, Shania Twain was honored at the People’s Choice Awards with the Icon Award. To celebrate the occasion, she rocked pink hair and some familiar threads! On the red carpet, she channelled her “That Don’t Impress Me Much” video with a hooded cheetah print look.

uring the show, Shania took the stage to perform a medley of her hits. The performance came with outfit changes, dancers and plenty of energy. Celebrities from Carrie Underwood, Kelly Clarkson, the Kardashians and Ryan Reynolds were among those seen in the crowd enjoying Twain’s performance.

She kicked the medley off with “Any Man of Mine,” where she sang in a fiery circle! Then, she moved on to “That Don’t Impress Me Much,” where her backup dancers were rocking leopard print body suits. That song is also where she made the big lyric change!

Instead of singing “Okay, so you’re Brad Pitt,” she changed the lyric to a fellow Canadian who was also being honored at the People’s Choice Awards, Ryan Reynolds! Immediately after she sang, “Okay, so you’re Ryan Reynolds,” Reynolds looks surprised and mouthed, “Me?!”

See Ryan’s reaction on Twitter below.

Since then, many people have wondered how Brad Pitt feels about this big lyric change! During a press interview for his movie Babylon, Pitt was asked about how he felt that his name was replaced by Reynolds recently, more specifically, the reporter asked Pitt how he felt about his thunder being stolen.

“[Ryan Reynolds] didn’t steal, I think we can share the wealth there. Yeah, Ryan’s a good egg, too. He deserves some love,” Pitt said.

He continued, saying that maybe Shania should continue to switch out the actor in that lyric, offering up Leonardo DiCaprio and Austin Butler!

We’ll have to wait and see if Shania takes his suggestions!
