While she explained that it was “one of my most memorable dinners” with Oprah, which took place at a restaurant, Shania recalled how she could sense a disagreement between them over their religious beliefs.

Shania Twain’s latest single “Wake Up Dreaming” was released earlier this month. And during her promotional tour for the song, the country music singer sat down for a podcast interview with Jessie and Lennie Ware on Table Manners.
“So I said, ‘Let’s stop talking about religion,’ adding that Oprah is ‘pretty religious.’
The country singer called Oprah “a smart lady.”
She clarified her position on the issue, noting that she “is not religious in the sense that I subscribe to a religion. I’m much more of a spiritual person. I would say I am a seeker.’

Shania, who was born in Windsor, Ontario, Canada, went on to hint at just how uncomfortable things were getting between her and Oprah, stressing that she likes to debate things.
She added: “There was no room for debate and I enjoy debating. Canadians like to discuss anything. So I say, “Oh, OK. It’s time to change the subject.”
The singer explained that the star was open to talking about their religious differences at the time of the dinner, but said “it’s just not debatable,” and didn’t elaborate.
During the podcast, the star repeated the phrase, “Everyone always says, ‘Never talk about politics or religion.’
