The Canadian singer, known for hits including Man! I Feel Like A Woman! and That Don't Impress Me Much, will perform at the Worthy Farm festival in Somerset on June 30.
Other artists including Diana Ross, Kylie Minogue and Shirley Bassey have all filled the coveted slot on the Pyramid Stage at the British music festival.
Twain, 58, told BBC Radio 2: "It's a wow moment, it's the big topic of conversation and has been now for all this whole lead time up to this moment with all of us.
"I've come to realise that it's more than a concert, it's more than the Pyramid Stage, it's more than the slot, it's an event, it's a cultural event, it's an annual stamp (and is a place that) hugely committed fans go to every year regardless of who the talent is."
She added that it is a "bonding" event, and replied "no", when asked about costume changes.
When asked why, she told Radio 2 that it is "not Vegas", a nod to her previous residencies in Las Vegas, which featured horses on stage.
Twain added Glastonbury is "very, very different" and said "it's all about hit songs".
The country pop singer has struggled with her voice in recent years following a bout of Lyme disease and did not release an album for 15 years until 2017's Now.
In 2018, she underwent open-throat surgery to repair damage done by the debilitating illness, and last year released the album, Queen Of Me.
While speaking about touring, Twain said she does not "love the travel", and is not someone who is "partying on the bus".
She also said: "After my recovery with my voice... something really, really changed and I thought, people, they're the only reason I'm actually still doing this (music) live.
"Yeah, so, you know, there's a definite appreciation that I have that is new and refreshed and, the audience is new and refreshed."
Glastonbury will be held from June 26-30.
