Greeted by fans, Shania Twain and her beau Frederic Thiebaud were spotted arriving at the Four Seasons hotel in Toronto today (March 27) for lunch at the Studio Cafe.

Following their romantic meal, the country music legend headed to the Air Canada Centre for rehearsals for the 40th Juno Awards.

Shania is expected to walk down the red carpet tonight for the first time ever alongside her Swiss-born Nestle business executive.

The Junos are the Canadian equivalent of the Grammy Awards. Hosted by hip hop star Drake, the awards show will feature a special tribute to Young, Joni Mitchell, Gordon Lightfoot and The Band performed by some of Canada’s most popular young artists.

The event will also include performances by Arcade Fire, Sarah McLachlan, Johnny Reid and others and appearances by Barenaked Ladies, Bryan Adams, Daniel Lanois, Randy Bachman, The Band’s Robbie Robertson and Rush‘s Alex Lifeson and Geddy Lee.

This marks the 40th anniversary of the Juno Awards.

Meanwhile, "Why Not? With Shania Twain," a new reality series featuring the Canadian singer, will premiere May 8 on OWN.

It will air immediately following the finale of The Judds.

The new series sees the normally reserved country star opening up about her life, including the end of her 14-year marriage and losing the ability to sing.

“First I found out that my marriage was over, and then the next day I found out about the affair. It was a real death. I really lost my sense of trust, compassion and honesty. I lost my ability to express myself and my ability to sing. I’ve lost it. For some reason I’m not comfortable singing in front of people anymore,” she said in a statement.

Shania adds that the bigger her career got, the more she felt the pressure to be better and better all the time, making her slowly lose her confidence.

Guests stars on "Why Not? With Shania Twain" will include Lionel Richie and Gladys Knight among others.
