She then tweeted a short video from the mobile app Vine in which she promoted her upcoming English-language album that’s due out this fall.

“Hi everyone. Very excited about my new album Loved Me Back to Life. Can’t wait for you to hear it. Ciao.”

By Thursday afternoon, the Twitter account had just those two tweets but had already amassed over 28,000 followers.

Dion is performing a three-year stint at Caesars Palace casino in Las Vegas.

Last month, the five-time Grammy winner visited Quebec City to pick up her Order of Canada medal and sing in concert.
