"I'm honoured and genuinely amazed that she's coming with us," Styles revealed. "She's someone who musically has been in my life for a really long time.

Twain's Enthusiastic Response
Following the announcement, Shania Twain herself took to Instagram to express her excitement about the collaboration. The Canadian music legend wrote: "Let's go London. All I've got is good memories of summer in the UK. From Party In The Park in the 90s to more recent adventures at Glastonbury and BST Hyde Park."
She continued: "For as long as I can remember I've had major UK-specific items on my bucket list and I'm ticking them off one by one... can't believe at 60, I tick a really big one off – playing Wembley Stadium, and with someone I love and admire so much, @harrystyles." Twain also shared her anticipation for quintessential British summer experiences including "Wimbledon viewing, Pimm's o'clock, horse riding, sunny days and long summer evenings with friends."
