Music Legend Shania Twain: Reflecting On Her Career & The Inspiration Behind Her New Single

Introduction

Shania Twain, the iconic country music star known for her leopard print style and groundbreaking influence on the genre, joined a live studio interview. She discussed how her past performances and songs feel like they belong to another life, as each song holds a unique story both for her and her fans. She enjoys live shows because she can see how her songs have personal meanings for different people.

She introduced her new single, “Waking Up Dreaming,” describing it as colorful, fun, and rooted in her love for daydreaming—even about things that might never happen. One of her current dreams is to live near Hyde Park’s stables in London so she can ride horses every day.

The music video for the new single has an ’80s rock vibe with a modern fashion twist. She revealed that she wrote four albums during the COVID-19 pandemic and is excited about releasing more music soon.

Shania also spoke about her Las Vegas residency, calling it a magical experience due to the advanced stage technology there. One highlight was entering the stage on horseback, a childhood dream come true.

She touched on her Netflix documentary, which explores her journey from singing in bars at age 8 to her big break at age 30 with the album “The Woman in Me.” She recalled her tough upbringing, lack of money, and the support of her mother, who secretly helped her perform.

Her initial music career was a challenge, especially as a woman in a male-dominated country music industry. Her first album struggled, but her second became a success.

Finally, she discussed her vocal health, having suffered nerve damage from Lyme disease. She now sings with the help of Gore-Tex implants in her vocal cords and is embracing her new voice while celebrating every moment she can still sing.
