In December, singer Shania Twain got the opportunity to perform some of her hits at the People’s Choice Awards. She performed That Don’t Impress Me Much, one of the most famous songs in her discography. In the actual song, there is a lyric that namedrops actor Brad Pitt, however, during the live performance Twain decided to replace Pitt’s name with Ryan Reynolds.
Brad Pitt and Ryan Reynolds became famous actors around the same time, in the 1990s and 2000s. Pitt rose to fame in the 1990s after appearing in hits like Thelma & Louise (1991), Se7en (1995), and Fight Club (1999), while Reynolds became a well-known actor in the 2000s after he appeared in the television series, Two Guys and a Girl (1998-2001).

Roughly one month after the incident, Brad Pitt decided to talk about the lyrics in his recent interview. The actor found it funny as well as he replied,
“He didn’t steal it. I think we can share the wealth there. Ryan’s a good egg, too. He deserves some love.”
He further suggested that Shania Twain should name-drop Austin Butler the next time she is performing that song on stage. The song is from Shania Twain’s famous 1999 album, Come On Over.
