Austin City Limits 2023: Random Early Thought

I know that by now, if you are still reading this blog right now, you are mired in 90's Nashville country hell with me, but know that soon enough you will be freed from this prison.  

OR WILL YOU?!?!?!

I just saw an announcement for Shania Twain's big world tour in support of a new album, which piqued my interest enough to click on the article.  Guess what ol' Momma Twain is up to next fall?  She'll be finishing up the London leg of her tour by September 28, and then has a nice little gap in her dates, before she picks the tour back up in San Antonio on October 12.  What's that you say?  When is ACL in 2023?  That's right, it is October 6-8 and October 13-15.  Which means that an October 12 show in San Antonio would be no problem for her.  The only issue there is that she is playing the Dickies Arena in Fort Worth on the 13th, but she absolutely is wide open for a Saturday or Sunday headlining slot at the Fest.

And, while it also seems insane to predict, it seems a lot less insane this year after having P!nk and The Chicks play headliner sets.  Ten years ago, you would have been laughed out of the room for predicting that Shania freaking Twain might headline ACL.  But no more.  She definitely feels like someone in the same neighborhood of the big girl-power headliners ACL has leaned towards recently.  Seems legit to me!

LONG LIVE CRAPPY 90'S NASHVILLE COUNTRY FOR LYFE!!!
