One of Jeopardy’s latest contestants has a surprising tie to the Queen of Country Pop Shania Twain.

During the Tuesday, Oct. 21 episode of the hit game show, a contestant from Washington D.C. named Tom Devlin had fans captivated as he gained the “highest scoring Jeopardy round of the season” with a prize bank of $12,000. He ended up winning the segment and taking home $22,599.

His impressive performance took the attention right off the last contestant who blew viewers away after revealing a “full circle moment.” As if that wasn’t enough, his interview also grabbed many’s attention with his revelation that mentioned Grammy award-winning singer Shania Twain.

During his brief chat with host Ken Jennings, Devlin revealed that he was once a backup singer for the country singer.

When the attorney was in high school, Shania ended up in his area performing a show during one of her tours. While in town, she was set to sing a charity single and wanted local students to join her as background vocalists.

Tom’s choir teacher ended up sharing the opportunity with him and asked if he wanted to sing at the concert. After he gladly accepted, he ended up performing with the country singer for three minutes in front of a crowd of 20,000 people.

“That’s probably the biggest audience you’ve performed in front of, until now,” Ken pointed out.

Shania’s most noteworthy charity single is her 1996 song God Bless the Child. She donated all the Canadian profits to the Canadian Living Breakfast for Learning program and all the U.S. profits to the Feeding America food banks.

The country singer previously shared it was her favorite song on her 1995 album The Woman in Me. She described it as “the most personal and the one that speaks most to my heart.”

That album gave the singer her first-ever Grammy Award for Best Country Album.

Since then, Shania has cemented herself as the Queen of Country Pop with four additional Grammy wins. She hasn’t taken home another win since 2000 when she was recognized for Best Female Country Vocal Performance for her iconic song Man! I Feel Like A Woman!

The singer is currently working on her seventh studio album, as well as a musical. The play will feature her iconic hits in a story inspired by the style of Abba’s Mamma Mia!

A source told The Sun, “It’s been a long time coming but the Shania musical is finally happening.

“The script has been completed and it’s now moved into the developmental stage, with discussions about staging and costumes,” the source shared.
