Shania Twain has revealed that being invited to perform in the Glastonbury's legends slot felt like 'a once-in-a-lifetime thing' ahead of her set later this month. 

The Canadian singer-songwriter, 58, is set to take to the Pyramid Stage on Sunday June 30 for the coveted legends slot, filled by the likes of Johnny Cash and Diana Ross over the years.

Speaking to Tuesday's Radio Times, the Man! I Feel Like A Woman! hitmaker revealed she was on the edge of her seat as she awaited confirmation of her slot.

'My manager said, "I wouldn't be surprised if that comes up," but it's an invite that feels like a once-in-a-lifetime thing,' she said. 'I was on the edge of my seat until it became a reality.'

Shania also opened up about starting out in the music industry at such a young age and recognised how male-dominated it is, as she admitted it can be intimating for women.

Ahead of her Glastonbury performance, Shania referred to getting booked in the legends slot as an 'honour' and 'accolade'.

'Other people who have played the slot, like Lionel Richie and Dolly Parton, are musicians I'm heavily influenced by and look up to,' she said.

Shania has never been to Glastonbury, so when asked how the gig came up she said: 'I'd been hearing about it for years.'

She added: 'I'm excited but nervous. I'm going as a fan, too: I want to cheer on my fellow Canadian Avril Lavigne, kaikoslot and I've never seen Cyndi Lauper or Coldplay live.'

Of starting out as a performer so young, Shania said: 'I began my career on a live stage so young - my first gig was when I was eight - that by the time I got my deal in Nashville, I was fearless about the music industry. 

'I didn't open myself up to intimidation, but I recognise it is intimidating for most women. The industry is mostly men, not just in the higher positions, but also musicians. 

Shania said that not as many women pursue touring band jobs but vowed to 'show younger girls it's possible'.

She revealed that she would like to inspire women coming through the industry to demand change and respect, rather than trying to change the minds of those in charge.

I'm really glad that it's announced and I'm just buzzing.'I feel like it's well, I don't know if this is the right language, but it feels like an accolade of sorts, really something that you have to earn, it's just very rewarding, it's a really beautiful feeling.'
