Shania Twain is reportedly retuning to American Idol in a different role than her first time around.

The country star -- who served as a guest judge for Chicago auditions last summer -- will serve as a musical mentor during an upcoming ninth-season broadcast, sources told TV Guide Magazine in a Wednesday report.
It is still unknown when Twain would serve as musical mentor and what the musical theme would be for that week, according to TV Guide Magazine, which added her representative would not confirm her return.
"Shania really enjoyed doing the show," the representative told TV Guide Magazine. "She'd love to go back."
Twain was one of several guest judges used by American Idol during last summer's ninth-season auditions after Paula Abdul announced she would not be returning.

Abdul's spot as a regular member of the panel was subsequently taken by Ellen DeGeneres.
