NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Shania Twain joined CNN correspondent Anderson Cooper and his best friend Andy Cohen as they hosted the New Year's Eve special on CNN on Tuesday, December 31. 

As the 59-year-old county star took to the stage to belt out an eclectic performance, Twain became the center of the internet’s attention regarding her appearance. 

Soon as the ‘Any Man of Mine’ hitmaker took the stage, several fans complained that the country superstar looked almost “unrecognizable.”

While the songstress looked dazzling under stage light, several fans pointed out that she looked ‘unrecognizable.’ Some fans even speculated that she has opted for cosmetic work on her face. 

The latest criticism comes just a few days after the songstress thanked her fans for supporting her throughout the years. As 2024 was wrapping around, Twain took to her Instagram as she wrote, "Just a few highlights from my year… This was so hard to cut down into a short video!! You guys believed in me from day one and you’re the reason I do what I do every day and this year was no exception - 2024 was full of some of my favorite memories and I can’t wait to make even more with you all next year."
