Yung Gravy Dishes on First Run-In With ‘MILF’ Shania Twain at Grammys Party: ‘Became So Close’

Yung Gravy had no idea how iconic Shania Twain was when he first met her at an industry party.

“A lot of people I got to meet before I understood how massive they were or how talented they were,” Yung Gravy, 29, told a news outlet in an interview published on Tuesday, September 9. “Shania Twain, for example. I saw her at a Grammys party and she just looked approachable.”

Yung Gravy told the outlet that while he didn’t know who the “You’re Still the One” singer, 60, was, his “brand was always the MILF thing, and she looked like she fit that criteria.”

“Once I got talking to her, [who she was] dawned on me, because she always has a different hair color and stuff, but I didn’t even realize it,” he recounted. “And then we just started getting along well, and I think she liked that part of it a lot. So that’s why we became so close. And I would go stay at her house and stuff.”

The “Betty” artist previously made headlines when he brought Addison Rae’s mom, Sheri Easterling, as his plus-one to the MTV Video Music Awards in 2022. “They’re more experienced, they are an underserved community, I’d like to say, and they deserve more attention,” he told ET at the time about his love for older women.

Twain, who has been married to Frédéric Thiébaud since 2011, shares a friendly relationship with Yung Gravy — who joked that he and her husband “have a cute bond.”

“[He] would hang out with us,” the “I Write Hymns Not Travesties” singer detailed. “He came from Switzerland, [and] it’s a similar situation to my dad, so we bonded over that.”

Yung Gravy explained his bond with Twain is strictly platonic, as she’d become a mentor to him over the years. “She helped me with understanding the country world,” he explained of his relationship with the “Man! I Feel Like a Woman” singer. “The basics of music, like singing and guitar and all the stuff that I hadn’t really learned being a rapper, she helped me with that, which was kind of cool to have a super professional vocal coach.”

He continued, “Fred’s cool. Shania and I actually made, like, six songs together, but we only put one on the album [“White Claw” from 2024’s Serving Country]. She wanted to reserve one for her next project. And then there’s a few that we just thought we’d hold on to, so you might hear more.”
