Shania Twain was in for a real birthday surprise when Boyz II Men joined her on stage in Las Vegas.
On Thursday, August 29, the country singer belatedly celebrated her 59th birthday (the actual date was August 28) during one of her Las Vegas residency shows, inviting members of the iconic R&B group to join her on stage for a duet.
In a video shared on Twain’s X (formerly Twitter) account, fans can be heard cheering as Shawn Stockman, Nate Morris and Wanya Morris take the stage to accompany the singer on performances of her 1997 hit “You’re Still The One” and of the iconic Boys II Men song “I’ll Make Love To You.”

However, before leaving the stage, the group surprised Twain with a birthday cake and an impromptu rendition of “Happy Birthday” — and of course, they had the crowd singing along before she blew out the candles.
“Happy birthday,” the trio said to the singer. “We truly appreciate you inviting us to your beautiful stage.”
Twain later thanked the X trio for stopping by to celebrate her big day, writing: “As a little birthday celebration and surprise for my fans I invited @BoyzIIMen on stage at my show in Vegas last night – But what I didn’t expect was them, @LiveNationVegas and @CaesarsEnt surprise me with a cake 🥰”
“Would you believe I hate being in the spotlight with my career?! 😂 Thanks to my husband, Boyz II Men, my amazing crew, everyone at @PHVegas @PHLiveVegas and of course my amazing fans for celebrating with me. I feel much loved ❤️.”

“Happy birthday to this amazing human being @shaniatwain 😍🥳🎈🍰,” he wrote.
