Let's Go, Girls: Shania Twain Is Coming to St. Louis

Okay, so you're Brad Pitt

Man, she feels like a woman

The time has come, St. Louis. Shania Twain is coming to ~~Riverport~~ Hollywood Casino Ampitheatre (14141 Riverport Drive, thehollywoodcasinoamphitheatre.com) next summer and you’d better start getting ready now.

Break out your sequined cowgirl boots and your shiny tops and get ready to step on some hearts because Twain's tour is scheduled to stop in St. Louis on June 4, 2023. Tickets go on sale on Tuesday, November 1, at 10 a.m. and you won’t want to miss out.

This is just the ray of hope we needed as our days slip into frigid darkness. There might be a brutally cold, barren season ahead of us, but at least we have St. Louis Blues hockey and the promise that one day next summer we’ll be sweating and singing along to “That Don’t Impress Me Much” from the lawn at Riverport while our country queen owns the stage.

Twain proved that she’s still the one at Coachella earlier this year when the biggest pop star on the planet invited her onto his stage as his special guest. Harry Styles and Twain sang together, and as a result one generation renewed their faith in her and a new generation learned that she’s a boss. Respect.

18 Things That St. Louis Stubbornly Insists on Calling By the Wrong Name

Riverport Our large outdoor ampitheatre hasn't been named "Riverport" in sixteen years. After it changed to the infuriatingly named "UMB Bank Pavillion" (that's "United Missouri Bank Bank Pavillion"), it was Verizon Wireless Ampitheatre before it became Hollywood Casino Ampitheatre. Whatever. It will always be Riverport to us. Photo courtesy of RFT

Highway 40 There is only one acceptable name for this stretch of highway and that is "Highway 40." The number stuck around after the road was absorbed into the Interstate system. The rest of the world might call this road Interstate 64 (hell, they even call it that in Illinois just over the river), but a true St. Louisan only says Highway 40. Say it with the honking, vowel-defying regional accent ("Highway Farty") for bonus points. Photo courtesy of Paul Sableman / Flickr

Dogtown The Dogtown neighborhood is famous as the place in St. Louis where the big St. Patrick's Day parade happens every year. Dogtown also doesn't exist. The area that we call Dogtown is actually five separate neighborhoods. (Clayton-Tamm, Franz Park, Hi-Pointe, Cheltenham and part of Ellendale.) You won't find it on any proper map. Weird, huh?

The Kiel/Scottrade/Savvis/Enterprise Whatever Can just one of our sports areas please keep a static name? This place started as Kiel Center, then became Savvis Center and is now the Scottrade Center. TD Ameritrade recently purchased Scottrade, so we anticipated yet another name change, but TD Ameritrade was smart and said they don't have any current plans to change the name. Good, because we can never remember the first names, anyway. Photo courtesy of Herkie / Flickr

Shaw's Garden We natives always call the Missouri Botanical Garden "Shaw's Garden" after its founder, Henry Shaw. Apparently we're all really tight with the noted philanthropist because we say Shaw's Garden like we know the dude and it's just his back yard. Photo courtesy of Missouri Botanical Garden

The Dome It's real full name now is The Dome at America's Center, but this place has suffered from the same ailment as Riverport: too many names. It started as the Trans World dome and then became the Edward Jones Dome and ugh. Exhausting. Most residents just call it That Ugly Place Where The Rams Always Lost That Now Hosts Supercross Events.

Hoosier To the rest of the country, "hoosier" is a nickname for a person from Indiana. But in the Lou, hoosier is a word that's used as a synonym for white trash. The origin of this particular usage is unclear, but one thing is for sure, you don't want to be called a hoosier in St. Louis. Photo courtesy of Google Maps
