Introduction
In a warm and reflective interview with Your Morning, Shania Twain opened up about her return to music with her fifth studio album, “Now”, her personal growth, motherhood, and her admiration for fellow artists—including a possible collaboration with Taylor Swift.
Shania described herself as currently living in the present, embracing the moment, and finding peace in not dwelling on the past or rushing into the future. This mindset inspired the title of her album Now, which she called a form of “self-therapy.” Despite her legendary success, Shania shared that she leads a very grounded, domestic life when not in the spotlight—balancing her career with being a mother and enjoying everyday moments at home.
The conversation also touched on her son, who has grown up largely outside the music industry by design. She wanted him to have a normal childhood, avoiding the typical backstage lifestyle often associated with celebrity children.
When asked about being seen as a role model by many young artists, Shania expressed humility and gratitude, acknowledging the responsibility that comes with fame. She said she’s proud to be a positive influence and tries to lead by example through her music and actions.
Looking ahead, she expressed admiration for artists like Alessia Cara, Kelsea Ballerini, Sia, and most notably, Taylor Swift. Shania praised Taylor as a prolific and talented songwriter and shared her desire to write with her someday.
The interview closed with Shania reflecting on motherhood as her greatest accomplishment—a deeply personal and fulfilling part of her life that grounds her beyond the spotlight.
