The U.S. Open held its gala opening night on Monday, and the sporty occasion received some serious star power with a performance by Shania Twain, who took to Arthur Ashe Stadium in Queens to perform a medley of her past hits and a few new songs from her upcoming album.
Twain, who is gearing up to release her fifth studio album, Now, on Sept. 29, was also celebrating her 52nd birthday on the day.

Twain also had some famous fans in the crowd, with composer Lin-Manuel sharing an adorable tweet of himself and his wife watching Twain perform.
Me: V, I’m warning you, if @ShaniaTwain starts singing ‘So Glad We Made It’ it’s going to get very romantical up in here
