Shania Twain broke her silence after revealing she will be part of Glastonbury Festival 2024 as the festival line-up was announced.
Shania Twain has opened up on how her traumatic life experiences have inspired some of her greatest hits.
She said: One thing I avoided the most in my life was becoming my mother or being in her situation. I had to break that cycle. But when people hear they may not think I lived that. 'You have a story, that’s one thing. Then you put it into a three-minute commercial song and it’s not just a story — it’s a song. And my story was never part of a commercial career.'
'My brain said,"I don’t really care what I am," but my body got in the way — the female got in the way. I’ve got curves so I had to set boundaries and guards very young. I did everything not to bring attention to them. Speaking to The Sunday Times , Shania explained how these childhood traumas influenced her music, particularly hit tracks Black Eyes, Blue Tears and Man! I Feel Like a Woman!
Speaking to The Sunday Times, Shania said: 'I hid myself and I would flatten my boobs. I would wear bras that were too small for me, and I’d wear two, play it down until there was nothing girl about me. Last year, Shania released her sixth album, Queen of Me, becoming her third number one record in the UK.
Shania is next set to take to the Pyramid Stage on Sunday June 30 at Glastonbury for the coveted legends slot, previously filled by the likes of Johnny Cash and Diana Ross over the years Shania is next set to take to the Pyramid Stage on Sunday June 30 at Glastonbury for the coveted legends slot, previously filled by the likes of Johnny Cash and Diana Ross over the years.
She said: 'How can you dream of being somebody if only one in every 20 adults that you admire is the same sex as you? When you are a child you identify with people and see possibilities, but there is a lack of representation for women in this industry. It’s a lot more than just sexism, it’s about representation — for young girls to go,"I want to be her," you need to make that feel obtainable.
