Shania Twain to host new country music talent show

Singer Shania Twain has been roped in to host USA Network's new county music TV singing competition titled "Real Country".

The "That Don't Impress Me Much" hitmaker has previously appeared as a guest mentor on "The Voice" and guest judged "American Idol".

"It's been an incredible year for me, releasing my new album and coming back to country music. I feel it's time for me to add my own support in finding our greatest undiscovered talent. It's beyond thrilling to be leading the charge with Real Country, and I'm on a mission to find artists who will keep country music diverse and dynamic. The kind of diversity that inspired all of us," Twain told the network.

Premiering later this year, the eight-part show will soon start filming in Nashville and is produced by Wilshire Studios, with Twain, Nicolle Yaron, Stijn Bakkers, and Leslie Garvin set to executive produce.

ACM Award-winning and platinum-selling singer-songwriter Jake Owen will co-host the show.
