Canadian country music star Shania Twain will lead the 2025 Stampede Parade, the Calgary Stampede said Wednesday.

"A global superstar, celebrated songwriter and style icon, Twain is a five-time GRAMMY winner and one of music and fashion's most renowned trailblazers," the organization wrote in a newsletter.

"With six albums released and more than 100 million albums sold worldwide, Twain remains the top-selling female country pop artist of all time."

The 59-year-old from Windsor, Ont., said she's looking forward to it.

"I can't wait to see you on Friday, July 4," Twain said in a video posted Wednesday.

"The Calgary Stampede is an amazing celebration of western heritage and culture. It embodies the true spirit of Calgarians and Canadians."

This year's Stampede runs July 4 to July 13.
