Unbeknownst to Twain, there were dark times ahead that would sidetrack her red-hot career for years.
Here is the untold truth of Shania Twain.
As she explained, the song was her childhood attempt to convince her introverted mother to enjoy life more.
“My mother was always … very isolating of herself,” Twain said.
“I don’t still really understand why.
… she was always that person that was watching life happen from inside through a window.”
“She is in absolute, total shock.”
She didn’t have to think too hard about what her words would be.
“I wish I’d never met you,” Twain declared.
That friendship, she explained, grew into something richer and deeper.
I don’t want to say distraction, but preoccupation that you love and enjoy."
She said parenting was “very helpful” during that time.
In a 2017 interview withBillboard, Twain revealed how Pitt came to be name-checked in the song.
“I just thought ‘I don’t know what all the fuss is about.’
“We see people naked every day.
That’s really what I thought.
I wasn’t picking on Brad Pitt.
… it could have been any gorgeous guy.”
Over time, she told Sunday Today, she’s come to appreciate her new voice.
“It’s given me more room to play, to be honest.
I have gravel,” she declared.
Finding love again, she explained, is a demonstration of her abilities as a survivor.
“Survival is everything,” she declared.
“I was in quicksand.
I panicked, like everybody does, but I didn’t surrender.
I found a way out.”
“You’re not going to stop falling.
But you will get better at getting up and brushing yourself off.
I’ve lived it.”
Yet despite that massive success and worldwide fame, Twain admits she often becomes starstruck when encountering other celebrities.
I don’t know what to say.”
The reason for her starstruck reaction may prove surprising to her fans.
Twain said she’s “very shy,” particularly when she encounters her fellow celebs.
Guthrie asked Twain if her fans ever become starstruck when they meether.
Twain and another actor played the couple in their younger years.
This eventually caused a bit of an uproar.
“I thought I was going to be really intimidated,” she added.
Twain’s co-star was also full of praise.
“I think Shania is born to be on film,” Travolta told ET Canada.
“Her videos are a knockout but I think this is such a beautiful role.”
Shania Twain took the reins for her 2017 album… her first in 15 years!
After all those years collaborating with her ex, she found herself in unfamiliar territory.
“Now all of a sudden I’m alone.
I’m starting over.
I was lost.”
I’m gonna write the most honest experiences and emotions that I can in these songs.'"
“Never, ever cake on your mascara,” she said, adding some hair tips as well.
“Keep your split ends cut,” she declared.
“Once they start they never stop.”
She followed that with a bit of sage advice about diet and exercise.
“Listen more than you speak, and then apply what you learn,” she said.
She went on, “There’s only one you, so just be you.”
I Feel Like a Woman.
Suddenly, the video cuts to Twain in the present, wearing the top hat.
“Same outfit, 20 years apart!”
she wrote in the caption, adding the hashtag “#letsgogirls.”
