2 Shania: Still the One Live From Vegas on Blu-ray/DVD: Country superstar Shania Twain is undertaking her first national tour in over a decade — it stops at Dallas’ American Airlines Center on Aug. 10 — and you can get a sneak peek of what she might have in store with Shania: Still the One Live From Vegas, out now on Blu-ray and DVD. Filmed during Twain’s residency at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace, this sleek, hit-packed concert features Twain backed by a 13-piece live band, a plethora of costume changes, cutting-edge visuals and — because, hey, why not? — live horses.
