Looks like she made it: 49 photos of Canadian country music star Shania Twain

HELLO! Canada | August 25, 2014

One of the most successful Canadian musicians of all time, Shania Twain has sold more than 85 million albums worldwide and is regularly touted as one of the world’s most beautiful stars.

But life wasn’t always so peachy for the native of Timmins, Ontario. Born Eileen Regina Edwards, the singer was raised in poverty by her mother (her father left when she was two), where she regularly went hungry and had to make do with homemade clothes fashioned by her grandmother. As a teenager, she played gigs to help support her family, all the while dreaming of making it big in the music industry someday.

In 1987, tragedy struck. Shania was 21 and on the cusp of launching her musical career when her mother and stepfather were killed in a car crash, leaving the young singer to care for her two half-brothers. “I knew I had to look after my younger brothers,” she said. “I really needed to keep the family together. I just put all my singing ambitions on hold until the rest of the family had grown up.”

Thankfully, Shania’s hard work, determination and perseverance paid off. In 1993, she moved to Nashville and changed her name to “Shania,” an Ojibwe word for “I’m on my way,” – and the rest, as they say, is history.

Here, as Shania Twain celebrates her 49th birthday (and perhaps an upcoming album and tour!) Hello! Canada looks back at Shania’s incredible life and career in photos.

'Women On Canadian Banknotes' Seeks More Female Faces On The Country's Money

By Jesse Ferreras | The Huffington Post Canada | November 4, 2014

In 2011, the Bank of Canada nixed plans to display images of prominent female activists on a new $50 bill.

It had initially planned to depict the "Famous Five," a group of women that fought to see females recognized as persons under the constitution, and Thérèse Casgrain, a feminist and the first woman ever elected to lead a political party in Canada.

They were replaced by an icebreaker, said a Toronto Star editorial.

As of 2014, no women appear on any Canadian currency, save for Queen Elizabeth II.

Merna Forster aims to change that.

The Victoria, B.C.-based creator of Heroines.ca, a website dedicated to highlighting outstanding Canadian women, started a Change.org petition last year calling on the Bank of Canada to display women on the country's money.

Current Bank of Canada Governor Stephen Poloz has said he's "absolutely open to the idea," but he was criticized earlier this month after announcing a new process for designing currency which did not address concerns about the lack of women, CBC News said.

And now Forster, whose petition has gained over 48,000 supporters (including prominent author Margaret Atwood), is stepping up her campaign.

She is preparing to launch a website, Women on Canadian Banknotes, in which people are encouraged both to sign her petition, and to come up with their own suggestions for who should appear on Canadian bills.

The tool is simple: you simply go to the website, hit "Generate your Suggestion," upload a photo, and voila, you have a Canadian $100 bill with a prominent woman's face on it.

Forster told The Huffington Post Canada that the intention isn't to suggest who should just appear on the $100 bill, but "any of the next bank notes."

"[I] just hoped that this would be a fun, interactive tool for people to get involved with the Canadian women on bank notes campaign," she said in an email.

Forster was surprised when informed by The Huffington Post Canada last Friday that the site has already drawn heavy interest before it's been officially launched.

Indeed, users have submitted dozens of ideas for women who should appear on Canadian currency, from astronaut Roberta Bondar, to former prime minister Kim Campbell, to country-pop singer Shania Twain.

Some users even tweeted their ideas last week.

One thing is certain: there is no shortage of outstanding Canadian women to choose from.

Check out suggestions that people have for women who could appear on Canadian banknotes:

She’s done so much for country music, she’s put children first in communities both in Canada in the US when it comes to breakfast programs and she is an inspiration for all rock and country artists.

Part of a Nick Jonas interview:

Just Jared: Do you remember who your first celebrity crush was?

Nick Jonas: My first celebrity crush, yes. Shania Twain, no doubt about it. I got to meet her earlier this year in Vegas. I went to her show and I fanboyed out.

Just Jared: Did you tell her?

Nick Jonas: I didn’t tell her. I played it cool, but I was nervous. I’ll be honest, it was a moment for me because I really loved her. I was specifically watching this concert special that she did in Chicago with this like yellow rash guard on, but somehow she pulled it off and looked beautiful. Anyway, I met her and soon after realized she was following me on Twitter and that was pretty amazing. Big moment!

First Celebrity Crush

Shania Twain was definitely my first celebrity crush. I love Shania Twain. I’m just a big fan of her music. I remember watching this concert DVD of her in Chicago, I think it was for like 120,000 people, I was just blown away by what an amazing performer she was and just the whole thing. I’m a big fan still. I got to go see her in Las Vegas; she’s still really awesome.

Jose Canseco Hit On Shania Twain Via Twitter And Failed (Photo)

Former baseball player Jose Canseco sent singer Shania Twain a shirtless picture on Twitter and attempted to hit on the married mom.

by Bryan Rose | December 2, 2014

Even if you don’t like Shania Twain’s music (and I don’t know many males who do), you certainly like what you’re looking at as the singer is extremely good looking.

Apparently former MLB slugger and notorious liar Jose Canseco decided he likes what he sees too as the Las Vegas native decided to hit on the singer early Tuesday morning via Twitter.

Canseco has since deleted the tweets but the powers that be on the internet made sure his attempt to get in the pants of the Canadian born songstress remain.

Okay, hitting on Shania Twain was funny enough but then to include a shirtless photo? Beyond that, it looks like the picture was taken in 2002 with a flip phone. Seriously, how does Jose Canseco not have an iPhone or even something running Android.

As expected, there was no response from the “Still The One” singer who possibly may not have even seen the tweets considering Jose Canseco removed them rather quickly.

You may recall, last week Canseco and his model girlfriend called off their relationship and the former baseball player is apparently looking for love yet again, though is doing so in all the wrong places. Twain meanwhile has been married to an executive from Nestle (yes, the food/candy company) since 2011. She previously had been married to record producer “Mutt” Lange but they divorced in 2010 after 17-years of marriage.

It would have been nice for Shania Twain to see Jose Canseco’s tweets and the shirtless pictures, but I’m guessing it wouldn’t have impressed her all that much.

It's Two Truths and a Lie Tuesday with Kip Moore

By Eileen Finan | 12/09/2014 AT 04:30 PM EST

How well do you know Kip Moore? True fans may already be aware that the 34-year-old Georgia native is an avid surfer with the buff biceps to prove it, but once you play the classic get-to-know-you game Two Truths and a Lie, you'll be a real expert on the "Hey Pretty Girl" singer.

Two of the below statements are true, one isn't. Can you guess which is the lie?

A) He was once homeless in Hawaii.

B) He once went solo to a Shania Twain concert.

C) He's a skater dude

A) He was once homeless in Hawaii – True!
"I lived in a tent for six months, surfed all day, worked odd jobs and wrote songs – and I had the time of my life," the singer tells PEOPLE. In fact, his love for the beachin' life is so deep, "I see myself settling down with a little honey on the coast. I can take her surfing, and we'll make little surfer babies."

B) He once went solo to a Shania Twain concert – False!
"I once attended a Shania twain concert with just one other dude – my buddy – which is probably a no-no, but we were both crazy about Shania in my high school years and we wanted to get a close-up look at her!"

C) He's a skater dude – True!
"I always go to skate parks in the cities where I'm touring and I'm usually the only one over the age of 14. I've been doing it for a few years now and I just chill out skating. I don't do anything dangerous. I have had some injuries – I've been bloodied up a few times, which has made me quit trying the crazy stuff."

Today in Music History - Jan. 1

In 2010, thousands of fans cheered on country music superstar Shania Twain as she carried the Olympic Flame into Hollinger Park in her home town of Timmins, Ont. She donated her Olympic torch and clothing to the town's Shania Twain Centre.

In 2011, Canadian country music superstar Shania Twain and businessman Frederic Thiebaud wed in a small ceremony in Rincon, Puerto Rico, with 40 close family and friends in attendance. In 2009, Twain broke up with husband Robert "Mutt" Lange amid reports that he had an affair with Twain’s best friend and Thiebaud’s then-wife, Marie-Ann.

Lake Louise, Vancouver emerge favorite Valentine's Day locations

Relaxnews | February 5, 2015 8:39AM EST

In an ideal scenario, Canadians would choose to become engaged to Ryan Gosling or Shania Twain, against the breathtaking setting that is Lake Louise in Banff National Park.

At least, that’s according to a Hotels.com survey conducted ahead of Valentine’s Day, that polled Canadians on their favorite Canadian cities, most romantic destinations and ideal dates.

When asked to name the one Canadian city they’d choose to spend to live out their lives, Vancouver was the most popular answer taking 35 per cent of the votes, followed by Toronto (24 per cent) and Montreal (17 per cent).

Were they able to choose the setting for the most romantic day of their lives -- the proposal -- Lake Louise in Banff National Park was the most popular choice among respondents (40 per cent), followed by the Old Port in Montreal (18 per cent) and the Toronto skyline in the background (16 per cent).

For couples, the most popular way to spend Valentine’s Day this year will be to enjoy a home-cooked meal at home, preferably an Albertan AAA steak, which emerged the favorite dish of choice, over salmon and lobster.

Singletons said their ideal Valentine’s Day would be spent on a warm beach in Mexico.

As for the sexiest Canadian celebrities, Ryan Gosling ranked first, followed by Ryan Reynolds in the category of male stars, while Shania Twain emerged the sexiest female star followed by Rachel McAdams.

Baby, come back: We want to hear new music from...

By Katie McLaughlin | Thu February 19, 2015

-The triumphant return of Missy Elliott has us wondering when she'll release some new material
-What musicians do you wish would release new albums?

An audiophile can dream -- and when we do, it's always in 24-bit/192kHz resolution.

These are the artists we're wishin' and hopin' and thinkin' and prayin' will release new albums in the not-too-distant future.

Missy Elliott: We never imagined we’d ever be uttering the phrase “Missy Elliott won the Super Bowl,” but there we were more or less conceding that, yep, the New England Patriots should turn over their rings to the rapper after she killed it during the halftime show as Katy Perry’s surprise guest. The performance led to a spike in sales of Elliott’s hits on iTunes and fans are begging for more. It’s been a whole decade since Elliott released her last album, 2005’s “The Cookbook.”

Billy Joel: The people who were born the year Billy Joel released his most recent studio album are turning 22 in 2015. It’s been nearly a generation since 1993’s “The River of Dreams” dropped. The Piano Man has certainly kept fans happy with a busy concert schedule, but we wouldn’t mind a few new tunes in the ol’ Joel discography. C’mon, Billy, we’ve waited for the longest time. We’re all in the mood for a melody.

Tracy Chapman: Tracy Chapman catapulted onto the scene back in 1988 with her eponymous debut album containing the smash (no pun intended) hit “Fast Car.” For the next 20 years, she steadily released new music -- her other mega-hit being 1995’s “Give Me One Reason.” But her most recent album was 2008’s “One Bright Future.” It’s been too long.

Guns N’ Roses: Back when everything was as fresh as the bright blue sky, Guns N' Roses' classic lineup consisted of vocalist Axl Rose, lead guitarist Slash, rhythm guitarist Izzy Stradlin, bassist Duff McKagan and drummer Steven Adler. Slash parted ways with GN'R in 1996. It isn't particularly surprising that GN'R is on an indefinite album hiatus. Their last two albums came 15 years apart. Their most recent album, 2008’s "Chinese Democracy,” only featured one original bandmate – Rose. But hope springs eternal. Guys, we totally get that sometimes you need some time on your own, but we're hoping that with just a little patience some all-new material will surface one day.

Shania Twain: Shania Twain's Las Vegas residency wrapped up last December after a successful two-year run, and fans think it’s about time the country superstar at least makes an announcement regarding another album. Twain has uttered some vague rumblings about wanting to get back in the studio, but it's been almost 13 years since 2002's "Up!" dropped. Lack of a concrete announcement has fans down, proving that she's still the one they run to.

Paul Simon: Maybe it’s because even after all these years, Paul Simon flawlessly nailed “Still Crazy After All These Years” during last weekend’s “Saturday Night Live” 40^th anniversary special that we have a little bit of tunnel vision. But it’s been four years since Paul Simon released any new material. With no news of when we’ll hear some new tunes, we have to say: we love “The Sounds of Silence,” but not literally; at least not when it comes to Paul Simon.

Dr. Dre: Dr. Dre turned 50 this week, a wakeup call to fans that not only is the rap trailblazer AARP-eligible, he also hasn’t released a new album in 16 long years. It’s hardly plausible that we’re bound to forget about Dre anytime soon, though. He produces songs and albums for a plethora of top artists, and at this point he may be more famous for his wildly successful headphones, Beats by Dr. Dre. In addition, Dre need not worry too much about hitting the half-century mark because he’ll be forever young. Seriously, his real name is Andre Young.

You Think You Know Shania Twain?

By Taste of Country Staff | March 2, 2015

Shania Twain was born to sing country music, but she sure took a strange route to Nashville. There were the bar gigs at age 8, the reforesting job with her stepdad, the time she raised three siblings and that Vegas-style lounge act she held down for three straight years. Learn the highlights during this episode of You Think You Know Country? 

Early footage of Twain singing shows a talented songbird in need of very little refining. Okay, she had to fix that gap in her teeth, and she did — but her mother recognized early on what America and the world would come to figure out years later: this girl is super-talented. She did more than look pretty and belt it out, however. Twain was a songwriter, and she wrote songs beyond her years as early as high school.

The Grammys, the marriage, the divorce and remarriage … it’s all part of ‘You Think You Know Shania Twain?’ After you watch this episode, subscribe to the Taste of Country YouTube channel so you never miss another. You Think You Know Country? comes out every Monday. Be sure to search for episodes that cover Carrie Underwood, George Strait, Luke Bryan and more.

The 50 Biggest Country Stars

No. 26: Shania Twain

Shania Twain is the best-selling female artist in the history of country music. The history! She's sold 75 million records with just four studio albums. In a day and age where album sales aren't as big as they used to be, Shania may remain on that perch for a long, long time. She may be there, forgive the pun, "Forever and Always." Shania's popularity is so grand that she has stars on the Walk of Fame in two countries -- America and her native Canada.

Britney Spears would like to collaborate with Gwen Stefani, Ludacris, Shania Twain and Celine Dion

by Daniel Falconer | 12 June 2015

Britney Spears chatted to Good Morning Britain earlier today (June 12) and told them who she'd like to collaborate with going forward, listing "Ludacris, Gwen Stefani, Shania Twain, Celine Dion" as those on her wishlist.

She added that she'd really "have to get some balls" before asking them to work with her, however.

Recently, Britney and Iggy Azalea teamed up for their new song 'Pretty Girls', starring in the music video for the catchy pop tune together, and Britney revealed that she'd initially hoped for someone else to be in the video as well.

"I actually wanted Nicole Richie to be in it and I was like, 'we could do something really funny, I know her really well, she's a really, really sweet girl and we can be like valley girls!"

On working with Iggy though, she did admit: "she's a really sweet girl".

Good Morning Britain airs on ITV weekdays from 6am to 8.30am.

httpThis is way out there but I think it would be awesome to see this. My mom gave me the new Britney Spears Cd Circus for Christmas and I thought I should listen to it but I didn't want to unthrone my Shania to put Britney in because I felt like it would be disloyal to Shania anyway I thought I know I'll put it in my MP3 player but I won't ever listen to it because I always only listen to Shania so then I thought O.K. I'll just make a playlist of Shania and Britney together. So I did I put one Shania song and one Britney song and it was so cool together like that that I burned it to a Cd for my truck. Well it started the wheels turning and I thought wouldn't it be awesome if they actually sang a song toghether so I had this whole video of Shania and Britney dancing and singing in my head and singing this song like a duel or a challenge to each other and in my head it was totally awesome so I wrote this all down on paper to the tune of Britney's womanizer. Anyway I thought it was an awesome video but it was only in my head so I'll just post the song anyway. Hope you enjoy!!

Man-eater
Shania sings- Whyd you come in here lookin like that?
On Your rockin body theres not an ounce of fat
Flippin your blonde hair
Like you just dont care
With your designer jeans and your Merle Norman face
Attractin the attention of every man in the place
Yeah, youre a man-eater
You could turn any man into a steady cheater
Yeah baby, youre a man-eater
Man-eater, Man-eater why dont you take a hike

Britney sings- Im a man-eater
Im the one who can turn your steady man into a total
cheater

In my designer jeans, wearin my designer perfume
Every head turns when I walk into the room
Im a man-eater and Im always on the hunt for a new man
So you better hold on to yours just as tight as you can
Yeah, Im a man-eater

These parts are sung at the same time to each other eye to eye while dancing like a duel.

Daily Top Five: Country Reissue Wish List

by Kevin John Coyne | July 15, 2015 · 6:25 pm

There are so many new concepts going on in country music reissues.  Two disc deluxe editions of classic albums.  Box sets of an entire artist’s catalog, with the CD’s in miniature LP replica sleeves.  Digital issues of concert recordings.  (Wolfgang’s Vault is a thing.  Check it out.)  Two albums on one CD, or carefully curated collections of singles.   Bear Family box sets that give you everything.  Even 180 gram vinyl records are coming out at a rapid clip.

So I’m wondering what your wish list is.  What reissues would you rush out to buy or download on day one?

Here’s my top five list:

1. Dolly Parton, The Complete RCA Albums Collection: 1968-1986
2. Willie Nelson,  Deluxe Editions of Nineties Classics: Across the Borderline, Spirit, Teatro
3. Shania Twain, The Complete International Remix Collection: 1995-2006
4. Kay T. Oslin, Clean Your Own Tables: The Early Years
5. Trisha Yearwood, Rarities and Unreleased Tracks: 1992-2012

#LetTheGirlsPlay: Song Suffragettes Cover Shania Twain’s ‘Whose Bed Have Your Boots Been Under’

By Billy Dukes | Taste of Country | September 13, 2015

When you attend one of the weekly Song Suffragettes‘ performances, you’re likely to hear a song that represents scorned women everywhere. For a recent grand finale, the five ladies covered one of the best from that category. Watch as this group takes on Shania Twain‘s “Whose Bed Have Your Boots Been Under.”

Kalie Shorr, Kasey Tyndall, Tiera, Lexi Mackenzie and Lauren Mascitti are the five Song Suffragette girls on stage to sing this song. As usual, Shorr leads off and takes lead on guitar. From there the group joins in with frequent #LetTheGirlsPlay guest Tyndall and the others filling out the remaining verses.

The #LetTheGirlsPlay movement was started to give aspiring women in country music a chance to be discovered. In addition to the weekly spotlights, one young singer or songwriter gets featured each month in a three-part spotlight series. This month Ella Mae Bowen is the artist of the month. Read more about her HERE.

Bit of a strange mention, but Shan is mentioned in the movie The Visit. One of the characters is using the names of pop singers as replacements for swear words, so the last words of the movie are actually "Shania Twain." Haha

This Week in Billboard Chart History

Shania ‘is still the one’ at the top of the charts

By Bud Christian | Opinion | South Platte Sentinel | November 18, 2015

Previous question: Who is the best-selling female country artist in history?

Answer: According to the August/September issue of “AARP magazine,” “You might not expect a girl from a small town in Ontario, Canada, to end up as the best-selling female country artist in history, but (Shania) Twain has done just that — rocking the genre with crossover megahits such as ‘You’re Still the One’ and winning five Grammys in the 1990s.”

According to a Wikipedia entry, “Twain was born Eilleen Regina Edwards in Windsor, Ontario on Aug. 28, 1965, the daughter of Sharon and Clarence Edwards. Her parents divorced when she was two and her mother then moved to Timmins, Ontario with Eilleen and her sisters Jill and Carrie Ann.

“Sharon married Jerry Twain, an Ojibwa from the nearby Mattagami First Nation, and they had a son together, Mark (not the famed author). Twain had a difficult childhood in Timmins. Her parents earned little money and food was often scarce in their household.

“Twain did not confide her situation to school authorities, fearing they might break up the family. In the remote, rugged community, she learned to hunt and to chop wood. Sharon and Jerry’s marriage was at times stormy, and from a young age, Twain witnessed violence between them.

“Sharon struggled with bouts of depression. In the summer of 1979, while Jerry was at work, at Twain’s insistence, her mother drove the rest of the family 420 miles south to a Toronto homeless shelter for assistance. Sharon returned to Jerry with the children in 1981.

“In Timmins, Twain started singing at bars at the age of 8 to try to help pay her family’s bills; she often earned $20 between midnight and one in the morning performing for remaining customers after the bar had finished serving. Although she expressed a dislike for singing in those bars, Twain believes that this was her own kind of performing arts school on the road.

“She has said of the ordeal, ‘My deepest passion was music and it helped. I hated going into bars and being with drunks. But I loved the music and so I survived.’ Twain wrote her first songs at the age of 10.

“On Nov. 1, 1987, Twain’s mother and stepfather died in a car accident, and as a result, Twain moved back to Timmins to take care of her younger siblings and then took them all to Huntsville, Ontario.

“There, she supported them by earning money performing at the nearby Deerhurst Resort. A couple of years passed and Twain’s siblings got older and moved out on their own. Twain assembled a demo tape of her songs and her Huntsville manager set up a showcase for Twain to present her material to record executives.

“She caught the attention of a few labels, including Mercury Nashville Records, who signed her within a few months. During this time, she changed her name to Shania, which was said to be an Ojibwa word that means ‘on my way.’

“However, there is continuing confusion about whether or not Shania is an Ojibwa word at all, and the debate will undoubtedly continue for the rest of her life.

“She married producer Robert ‘Mutt’ Lange in 1993 and their son, Eja was born in 2001. In 2008 a shocking revelation that her husband was cheating on her with her best friend was so devastating that her vocal cords seized up, and she lost the ability to sing.

“But, she pulled through, and in the finest country song tradition, she is now married to that unfaithful friend’s handsome ex, Frederic Thiedbaud, an executive at Nestle products.

“Twain is a devotee of Sant Mat, an Eastern spiritual philosophy that calls for daily meditation, as well as abstinence from alcohol, drugs and premarital sex.

“Twain marked her 50^th birthday with a tour titled ‘Rock This Country,’ which ended on Oct. 27, which she says will be her last while insisting that she is not retiring and that her life and career are doing just fine.

“With all the heartache and personal difficulties she’s faced and conquered throughout her lifetime, Shania Twain is certainly qualified to inspire and create dozens of country songs.”

Busted, Little Mix and Fleur East cover 'Man! I Feel Like A Woman!' at the Cosmopolitan Ultimate Women Awards

THIS IS LEGIT BUSTED'S FIRST EVER REUNION PERFORMANCE

By Lizzie Cox | SugarScape | December 3, 2015

We'll tell you something for nothing - when Busted decided to get back together, we bet they didn't imagine that their ​first ever performance post-reunion would be a cover of Shania Twain SMASH HIT 'Man! I Feel Like A Woman!'. 

However, that is exactly what has happened. 

Yup, we shimmyed on down to Cosmopolitan's Ultimate Women of The Year Awards last night, to film a montage of celeb types singing Shania's jam. 

Y'know, because last year we did the same thing with Destiny's Child tune 'Independent Women' and it worked really, really well?

Unfortunately this year the montage is slightly.... errrrr, shorter, than the 2014 version. And by that we mean it only features Busted, Little Mix and Fleur East. 

F**K IT, THEY'RE THE BEST ONES ANYWAY. 

Here ya go, you can watch it now:
