The Grammy winner concluded with a heartfelt note. She wrote, “Hug and hold those you love, we are doing the same! ❤️”

Poor driving conditions due to inclement weather led two vehicles that are a part of Twain's tour to get in an accident on Wednesday. The country-pop artist herself was not in the bus or truck that were affected as they drove through Canada between tour stops.

The “Any Man of Mine” singer’s management company, Maverick Management, shared a statement with PEOPLE about the incident. “One crew bus and one truck from the Shania Twain - Queen Of Me tour were involved in a highway accident driving between Winnipeg and Saskatoon," the statement said. "Multiple vehicles encountered dangerous driving conditions due to inclement weather. Members of the production crew who require medical attention have been taken to nearby hospitals."
