Shania Twain will be back in Ottawa on Nov. 26 to perform during halftime at the Grey Cup.

It will be the second time the country-pop superstar has entertained at the CFL’s championship game — she also performed at the 2002 Grey Cup in Edmonton. 

Twain was last in Ottawa on Canada Day to introduce the country’s newest astronaut.

"It's an absolute honour to return to the Grey Cup stage in the nation's capital during Canada's 150th birthday," Twain said, in a statement.

"I'm thrilled to be coming home and being a part of the country's biggest annual party.”

Twain is busy promoting her new album — her first since 2002 — which comes out Sept. 29. The Ontario native will perform on Aug. 28 at the opening ceremony of the U.S. Open.
