Céline Dionappeared onMonday’s episode of Carpool Karaokeand, as you can imagine, there were several memorable moments — one came when the pop music icon revealed she owns over 10,000 pairs of shoes. Yes, 10,000.
The 40-year-old talk show host added, “Shoes are a very important part of your life. How many shoes do you think you own?”
Dion, 51, (who underwent a fashion transformationwhen she teamed up“image architect” Law Roacha few years ago) shrugged her shoulders and responded all-too-casually, “3,000, 5,000, I don’t know.”

But Corden was quick to call her out, saying that he’s heard the exact number is actually closer to 10,000. And the songstress didn’t deny it, “Maybe. I didn’t want to say it.”
Next,The Late Late Showhost asked about the logistics of accumulating such a massive collection. For one, where in the world could she possibly store 10,000 pairs of shoes?
“I have a place in Las Vegas where um … let’s call it a warehouse,” Dion said. “In my house in Florida, I had a system. It was computerized. I would press and doors open.”
Dion, who will soon release her albumCourageand embark on a 50-city North American tour, insisted she’s not emotionally attached to any of the 10,000 shoes, but put up a fight when Corden rolled down his car window and offered a few fabulous pairs to strangers on the street.

“I need alcohol,” she joked, after parting with a beloved pair of white booties.
In 2017, Diontold PEOPLEthat experimenting with bold looks (including designs fromZuhair Murad, Atelier Versace, Balmain, Dior and Alexander McQueen) helped her cope with the loss of her husband and longtime manager, René Angélil in 2016.
“It’s amazing how a little bit of fantasy can alter our moods,” Dion,who’s the newest face of L’Oreal Paris, told PEOPLE at the time. “I’ve always loved fashion, from as far back as I can remember. But as everyone knows, I’ve gone through some extremely difficult times in recent years, and I suppose that I’m spreading my wings a little bit more these days and doing so with the help of beautiful clothing and accessories.”
