On Tuesday, Shania Twain treated the audience at the 2022 People's Choice Awards to some of her iconic tunes, including "That Don't Impress Me Much" which had an updated lyrical twist.
When the song was originally released in 1998, the Canadian singer belted the pre-chorus:
"Oh, oh, you think you're special,"
"Oh, oh, you think you're something else."
"Okay, so you're Brad Pitt."
Followed by the titular diss:
"That don't impress me much."
During her performance at the awards, however, Twain sang:
"Okay, so you're Ryan Reynolds."
As the camera captured a caught-off-guard yet delighted Reynolds, she jumped into the chorus:
"That don't impress me much."
You can watch the amazing moment below, Reynolds' expression and all.
Twain tweeted the clip captioned:
"Sorry not sorry @VancityReynolds."
\u201cSorry not sorry @VancityReynolds \ud83d\ude02\ud83d\ude18 #PCAs @peopleschoice\u201d— Shania Twain \ud83d\udc8e\ud83d\udc8e\ud83d\udc8e (@Shania Twain \ud83d\udc8e\ud83d\udc8e\ud83d\udc8e) 1670427691
The Deadpool actor and fellow Canadian, of course, loved the moment.
He even shared it to his Instagram story with the words:
"This may be the best thing that's ever happened to me."

He later took to Twitter to quotetweet the singer with:
"I can't think of a more iconic, smart and beautiful person to not impress all that much."
"Thank you for an amazing night, @ShaniaTwain."
He completed the tweet with a heart.

The twitterverse was impressed—and highly entertained.
Many also took the opportunity to applaud the country music icon on choosing a fellow Canadian to insert in the line.

One Canadian to another.

You can say a lot about how Ryan Reynolds here has made it… but nothing… NOTHING will ever say he’s achieved top tier more… than Shania Twain using his name in that song live.
Could’ve chosen anyone in the room… could’ve stuck with Brad Pitt… chose you sir.
