Shania Twain is back and busier than ever

• Shania Twain is back after thirty years after releasing her debut album.
• Shania Twain is the best-selling female country musician of all time.
• The adored singer is back in great form and getting ready to release her sixth studio album.

Shania Twain is back after thirty years after releasing her debut album, Twain, 57, has climbed some legendary heights. With more than 100 million albums sold worldwide, Shania Twain is the best-selling female country musician of all time. Her rousing successes include “Any Man of Mine,” “That Don’t Impress Me Much,” and “I’m Gonna Getcha Good!” On her journey to popularity, she also faced crushing setbacks, including the terrible deaths of her parents, a shocking betrayal that resulted in the divorce of her first husband, and a struggle with Lyme disease that almost silenced her voice.

Despite the difficulties, Twain states in the news cover article, “I actually discovered such a great life” with her second husband, Frédéric Thiébaud, 52.

The adored singer is back in great form and getting ready to release her sixth studio album, Queen of Me, on February 3 and start a world tour.

“For me, it feels like a renaissance. It’s rewarding to still be experiencing it as a relevant artist “Twain argues. “I have more self-assurance now. I feel liberated in that I have nothing left to prove.”

The 8-year-old singer from Timmins, Ontario, started performing in nightclubs. Twain also started playing at a resort when she was barely 22 years old to support her three younger siblings when her mother Sharon and stepfather Jerry passed away.

“It was like, ‘This is all I know how to do. I’ve got to support the kids.’ That gave me motivation and a fearless state of mind because when you don’t have a choice, you’ve got to push through — and that’s what I did,” she says.

Her second album, The Woman in Me, which she co-produced with her husband and record producer Robert “Mutt” Lange, helped her breakthrough in 1995. She finally brought her courageous spirit to Nashville. But it was Twain’s third album, 1997’s Come on Over, which upended a male-dominated industry and marked her historic foray into pop, opening the door for later musicians like Taylor Swift.

“She wasn’t afraid to blur genre lines, show midriff, or redefine what it meant to be a woman in country music,” says country-pop star Kelsea Ballerini, 29. “That boldness is something I hope to carry throughout my career.”

Grammy-winner Maren Morris, 32, is added. “One of the most famous crossovers in country music history was performed by Shania Twain. I respect her self-assurance because she truly just enjoys bringing people together, regardless of the music playing on the speakers.”

Twain became the first singer to ever earn three straight albums with a diamond certification with her 2002 album Up! (with sales of more than 10 million each). Despite her ground-breaking successes, Twain nevertheless fought to be recognized seriously as an artist and had to deal with sexist presumptions that her male partners were to blame for her success.

“It was very offensive to be considered a molded artist, that it took a man or a team to mold me,” says Twain. “I bit my tongue a lot. But when you’re in the industry from a young age as a woman, you really learn how to let it roll off your back.”

After stepping away from the spotlight in 2004 to concentrate on raising her and Lange’s son Eja, who is now 21 years old, Twain experienced even more hardships. When she discovered Lange had an affair with her close friend Marie-Anne Thiébaud in 2008, her 14-year marriage to him came to an end.
