In a one-on-one interview with Jeff McArthur, host of The Morning Show on Global Television, the nation music legend mirrored on how she acquired the invite to saddle up on the entrance of this yr’s parade.
“So last year I was hanging around with some new friends that I’ve made in Calgary and they’re very involved with the Stampede and I said, ‘Oh, I would just love to be doing that right there, riding a horse in the parade.’ And I’m like, ‘Oh well, you know, not everybody can be a parade marshal — yeah, I’m sure it’ll never happen,’” Twain stated.

“I love to see the people. I love the people. I love the excitement. I’m going to feed off the energy and just enjoy myself, really. Say hello to a lot of people from in the saddle — that’s really the exciting part,” Twain stated.

“It’ll be crazy in a really good way — a very exciting way — it’s really just all about the party and having fun,” Twain stated. “I love people to forget about life for a little while, as I do when I’m on the stage. We all kind of escape together and just sing along and have a great time.”
