In case you missed it...

A new documentary on the history of the CMA Fest airs this week. "CMA Fest: 50 Years of Fan Fair" will debut on Wednesday, July 5th. The full-length film will include artist interviews, festival performances, and never-before-seen footage. This year's CMA Fest was June 8th through 11th in Nashville. CMA Fest started as Fan Fair in 1972.

Shania Twain was playing a show in Toronto this past week when she spotted a sign in the crowd: "Shania, will you do my gender reveal?" and she was hyped. "Do you wanna come up here? I feel so privileged!" Twain told the mother-to-be, who made her way to the stage. The expectant mother told Twain and the audience that she and her partner would be happy with either a boy or a girl, but that, "We’re kinda hoping you’ll say, 'Let's go girls!'" The fan handed Twain an envelope, but instead of blurting out the results, Twain immediately went into her song "From This Moment On," changing the lyrics to reveal what everyone was waiting to learn: "From this moment/ Life has begun/ From this moment/ You are the one/ Right beside you/ There’ll be a girl!" Congratulations to the mom - and to Shania, for being part of the big moment!
