‘I think one of my most memorable dinners was with Oprah Winfrey,’ adding that they ate at a restaurant.
Shania said: ‘It was great to just and have real talks, but as soon started talking about religion, it all went sour. So, I said, “Let’s stop talking about religion,”‘ adding Oprah ‘is quite religious.’
The country singer called Oprah ‘a smart lady.’
She clarified her position on the topic, noting that she’s ‘not religious in the sense that I’m dedicated to a religion. I’m much more of a spiritual person. I would say I’m a seeker.’
