Shania stated that she considered the role as a tribute to the late stage and screen legend, writing: "I am unbelievably honored... and excited... and all of the emotions (!!) to announce that I will be joining the cast of #BeautyAndTheBeast30th to play the part of my favorite character - Mrs. Potts.

"And of course, I would be remiss if I didn't pay tribute to the iconic Angela Lansbury, I mean she IS Mrs. Potts and the reason why this character is so beloved.

The singer revealed the big news back in October

"To follow in the footsteps of such an icon is a huge honor and I hope to do the part justice. Airing December 15 on @abcnetwork."
