Shania Twain appeared as a guest judge and performed on ABC's "Dancing With the Stars" Monday night, but some viewers haven't been kind to the country icon.
The 52-year-old country star sang her new song "Soldier" from the upcoming film "Thank You For Your Service" for the ABC dance competition's movie night. Fans took to social media to criticize the singer's performance and said she was lip syncing.
Shania Twain isn't even pretending to be good at lip syncing right now... but I do like this song. #dwts#fail

Watching Shania Twain judge #DWTS is truly painful #DancingWiththeStars@DancingABC
— Ann Havericak (@anniehavericak) October 24, 2017Others commented on her appearance and said she looked unrecognizable.
Whatever Shania Twain has done to her face, I am not a fan. Cheek implants and Botox? Ugh. She was so pretty. Just age naturally #DWTS

— veronique englebert (@jukebox1014) October 24, 2017Twain recently opened up about her battle with Lyme disease and how she believed she'd never sing again.
"I was very scared for a little while that I wouldn't sing again, ever," she told People in July. "I went through that moment, but I found a way. I found a way to do it."
She said she has to go through therapy and intense warm-ups to prepare her voice.
The singer released "Now," her first album in 15 years, on September 29, 2017.
