Andy Cohen calls out Anderson Cooper for being on his phone during Shania Twain’s New Year’s Eve performance

It seems Shania Twain’s New Year’s Eve performance didn’t impress Anderson Cooper much.

During a Q&A interview with the New York Times published on Wednesday, Cooper’s co-host on CNN’s “New Year’s Eve Live,” Andy Cohen, called him out for being on his phone during the country singer’s mini concert on Tuesday night.

The critique came after the duo was asked about their New Year’s resolutions.

After the Bravo star told the outlet, “Mine is the same as it always is, which is to spend less time on my phone,” Cooper joked, “That would be good. That’s my resolution for Andy as well.”

Cohen then cheekily quipped: “Well, sweetie, you were on your phone last night while Shania Twain was killing it performing ‘Man, I Feel Like a Woman.’”

This year’s annual show featured several appearances from celebrities including Ralph Fiennes and Diplo, who shockingly revealed he was tripping on acid during his interview.
