Country Legend Shania Twain Embraces A New Era
Beloved country music icon, Shania Twain, is warmly welcoming the exciting changes ushering in a fresh era for country music. At the 2024 People’s Choice Country Awards, Shania expressed her delight in seeing how much the genre is evolving. She noted, “I’m also privileged to be a part of where the new country is going. I don’t want to say new country, but the evolution of country music and where it’s headed.” It’s a milestone she feels fortunate to witness.
Shania Twain is an emblem of transformation in her own right. She graciously hosted the country awards on September 26th, sharing her enthusiasm about meeting emerging artists who are redefining the boundaries of the genre.
Shania’s Ongoing Musical Journey
Known as one of the best-selling female artists in country history, Shania’s career has always been marked by groundbreaking work. With over 100 million records sold globally, her impact is indelible. She recently launched her Las Vegas residency, “Come On Over,” and earlier this year, she debuted her latest album, “Queen of Me.” At 59, she continues to conquer stages and studios with no signs of slowing down.
The inspiration driving Shania is simple yet profound. It is her love for music itself. “I love music, I’m a fan of music,” she shared, underscoring that her passion is what propels her forward.
Staying Vibrant and Healthy in Her 50s
Shania Twain, a beacon of grace and vitality, shared her simple secret to maintaining health and fitness as she edges closer to her 60s – happiness. “I enjoy good health and I think happiness has everything to do with it,” she confided, echoing a sentiment that many find refreshing and uplifting. Part of her staying positive includes accepting her natural body as it ages.
Earlier in the year, she embraced this acceptance through a unique ritual. She mentioned taking time to appreciate her reflection unclothed, a practice that she finds empowering. “A lot of people as they start aging – and even young people – they don’t want to look at themselves in the mirror naked,” she explained, recognizing this as an opportunity for self-love and acceptance.
Twain candidly spoke about seeing “another sag” or “bit of cellulite,” expressing her desire to be comfortable with it rather than hiding away. “I want to be OK with it instead of thinking I have to cover it up or not to look,” she stated, signaling an empowering outlook on aging.
A Unique Pre-Show Routine
Aside from her outlook on life and music, Shania has some unique habits when it comes to her performances. She has revealed that her pre-show routine includes an all-liquid diet to avoid the distraction caused by food during performances. “If I eat any solids hours before the show, I’ll have to burp,” she admitted. This approach shows how dedicated she is to giving a flawless performance for her fans.
Even as she enjoys enormous success, her humility and genuine love for music and life continue to inspire many, proving why she remains a beloved figure in the country music world. Shania Twain embodies the change she wishes to see in both her music and her personal life, approaching each day with gratitude, passion, and acceptance.
