This does impress us much: Shania Twain is set to receive a special honor at the upcoming 2022 People's Choice Awards, which will take place on Tuesday Dec. 6.

The superstar will receive the "Music Icon" award in recognition of her historic, decades-long career as the best-selling female country-pop artist of all time.

"I'm so incredibly honored to be named Music Icon," Twain said in a statement. "I have some of the greatest fans in the world. They have supported me since the early days, and it's their love and passion that keeps me going. I'm thrilled to go back on tour and bring my new music and fan favorites to them, and what better way to start than at the People's Choice Awards!"
