Shania Twain Discusses Her Passion for Songwriting on ‘The Big Interview’

By Jessica | Country Music Tattle Tale | March 31, 2018

GRAMMY®-winning Country songstress Shania Twain joins Dan Rather for an intimate and insightful conversation, as she opens up about the highs and lows of her trailblazing career in an all-new episode of The Big Interview—airing Tuesday, April 3 at 9pE/6pP.

During the discussion, Twain takes viewers through the creative process behind her deeply personal latest album, Now—her first new material in 15 years—and the initial struggle she faced in the album’s early stages. “The greatest fear for me was just getting started, just taking that step forward. Once I claimed that place and that courage, it was all fun and exciting.” Though Twain has experienced great tragedy in her life, she wanted Now to be a celebratory album that would inspire anyone dealing with struggles of their own. She continues, “That meant I was going to have to be very transparent. I was going to have to be very honest, and direct, and candid about- my emotions, my feelings, my thoughts…. so I do hope that they take away my intentions, which are to inspire them and to relate to them on a very day-to-day and realistic level.”

Twain took on the responsibility of writing each song on the new album by herself—a challenge she relished, given her lifelong passion for songwriting. She explains the peace that the creative outlet gives her, saying, “Writing… is my escape, and all through my life it’s been a really great escape for me. As a child, it was a playground. It was a private place for me to go and express what was on my heart, on my mind… Now, as an adult, I see it as me time. I see it as time alone. Private time that is sacred to me that no one else can influence, that no one else can judge… I love that solitude, and I need it.”

To see more of this enlightening episode, tune in to The Big Interview on Tuesday, April 3 at 9pE/6pP, only on AXS TV.

Shania Twain opens up in "The Big Interview" with Dan Rather

ABC News Radio | April 2, 2018

Shania Twain sits down with Dan Rather for The Big Interview Tuesday. 

In the new episode, the country/pop superstar looks back on her career and opens up about the difficulties of making her first album in 15 years, NOW. 

“The greatest fear for me was just getting started, just taking that step forward," Shania tells the respected newsman. "Once I claimed that place and that courage, it was all fun and exciting.”

In the end, Shania says she wanted the new record to be upbeat, but that posed its own set of challenges.

“That meant I was going to have to be very transparent," she explains. "I was going to have to be very honest, and direct, and candid about -- my emotions, my feelings, my thoughts…. so I do hope that they take away my intentions, which are to inspire them and to relate to them on a very day-to-day and realistic level.”

You can watch Shania's new episode of The Big Interview with Dan Rather Tuesday at 9 p.m. ET on AXS TV.

It was a good interview. The first half was basically a recap of her life growing up and music career. The second half was more personal. She talked about her divorce from Mutt and how she was hurt from his actions but was MAD at Marie-Anne. She wanted to hold her down on the ground and shave her hair off. She also talked about getting older and Eja. And how she likes to walk nude on the beach. Something she would never do before. At the end she said she wants to write songs for other artists, make more albums of her own, write more books, act more, and share her cooking skills.

It appears to be available but the form asks for postal address. I think $2 is too little to send it via general mail on DVD. I sent them an e-mail. Hope to get explanations.

---

They don't send a DVD. You watch it online. 

---

 So you pay $2 to watch it once or what? Not even a download link?

Tanya wrote:

Well, it all is not so frightening as it seemed. I got it. Yes, you pay and can download it even outside USA!!!

---

Great!!!

Now it's here:

Could somebody help me? What is Dan Rather saying from 32:30 to 32:40?

Thank you very much! This "Texan" I just couldn't get at all and everything after seemed senseless. And another thank you for the explanation because otherwise I'd have more questions.

Typical woman who blames the other woman instead of the man she married and exchange sacred wedding vows with....

She blames Mary-Ann because she lied to Shania when she suspected her husband's infidelity telling her that nobody would cheat on her. Of cource they both are guilty but Shania is more angry with her former friend because she trusted her, she told her about her suspicion but Mary Ann just convinced her that she was wrong.

I am really sorry to bother you again with this but I have two more things to precise:

1) At 30:20 she is saying something about a woodstove Aretha Franklin (that's how I hear it - could you make it clear if I am right and then what's that or correct me if I'm wrong);
2) What is Dan Rather saying at 34:23: I can see it ... for ... all kinds of circumstances. I mean, I guy with a big Rolex watch and ... suit come up to you at the bar but you could say: No, that don't impress me much.

1. "I had my dad's wood stove in there, a little Franklin, for heat. And no plumbing....."
***The Franklin stove is a metal-lined fireplace named after Benjamin Franklin, who invented it in 1741. It had a hollow baffle near the rear (to transfer more heat from the fire to a room's air) and relied on an "inverted siphon" to draw the fire's hot fumes around the baffle. It was intended to produce more heat and less smoke than an ordinary open fireplace.

2. "I can see it applying for women in all kinds of circumstances. I mean, a guy with a big Rolex watch and a bespoke suit comes up to you at the bar but you could say: No, that don't impress me much."

***The show was deleted again on YouTube so I uploaded it to Google Drive.
