Shania Twain's Return to the CMA Awards

She’s been in hiding since she announced her split with husband Robert “Mutt” Lange back in May, and last night Shania Twain emerged at the 42nd Annual CMA Awards.

The “Still the One” songstress ended up as the “major surprise” that everyone was wondering about as the awards show kicked off last night at the Sommet Center in Nashville, Tennessee.

Presenting Kenny Chesney with the Entertainer of the Year Award, Twain looked gorgeous as she took the stage at the end of the night wearing a low-cut Missoni gown.

She told the audience, "It's good to see all of you too. I hope to be seeing a lot more of you." Former tourmate John Michael Montgomery told press, "I just hate the fact that she went through her trials and tribulations, and I hope that she comes back as strong as ever. If she puts her mind to it, you ain't going to stop her."
