Shania Twain’s life could make a hell of a country music song.
In fact, there’s so much material it could make several great country music songs. She survived a tough childhood, lost her parents in a car crash and at the height of her career, was diagnosed with Lyme Disease – an illness that temporarily caused her to lose her voice. And then, in the middle of her recovery, her husband left her for another woman.
But Twain says those hardships have brought her to where she is today.
“Every time something brings me down or tries to bring me down, it fuels more determination. I’m feeling stronger than ever now in my life. And, and it feels good,” Twain told CNN’s Chris Wallace in a conversation for his new show, “Who’s Talking to Chris Wallace?”
The program debuts Friday on HBOMax and also airs Sunday night on CNN.
Twain is currently working on her sixth full-length solo project, her first solo album since 2017. Her first single from the album, “Waking Up Dreaming” also debuts Friday.
She calls her new music “just the start” of a “new chapter”.
“It is a long way from country,” she admitted of the song. “It’s high-energy boppy-poppy. In the video, I’m very much playing superstar, I am dressing up.
