Shania Twain Shares How To ‘Love Yourself Naked’

By Anita Tai | ET Canada | January 23, 2023

Shania Twain has learned to love herself in the skin she’s in. 

The three-time Grammy Award-winning artist said it’s been a long journey to self-empowerment, but it’s one she wants to share with her audience on her new album Queen of Me.

“The album was very much written as an exercise to lift my spirits, really. [I] started reflecting more on my own self-confidence,” she told ET Canada’s Jedson Tavernier. “Where am I really at? You know, a self-confidence check. Am I living my self-empowerment beliefs?”

Part of that journey was coming to the realization that growing older helped her let go of past mistakes.

“And then so like at 57, I’m like, well, you know what? Whatever I can’t change that I’m not comfortable with? It’s time to frigging deal with it,” she explained. “Get real with myself. Can I look in the mirror with the lights on and be okay with that? Does it make me cringe? Does it make me uncomfortable? Am I squirming in my own skin? If I am, this is a problem. The time is now. Like, change that. You know, if you don’t love yourself naked, get to it, man.”

For Twain, loving yourself naked really meant “living that reflection” rather than just being empowered by it.

“I really want to just wanted to start living that reflection. You don’t really need to see yourself. You have to be yourself — so it’s really not about a reflection at all. That means, you know, letting other people see you for who you really are and believing that,” she explained. “I guess just being inspired by that — you have to live your own reflection. Otherwise, your inspiration means nothing. So, if I’m going to sing ‘Queen of Me’, then I’ve got to be the queen of me.”

Queen of Me is set for release on Feb. 3.

Shania Twain Recalls Sweet Moment Her Son Eja Wanted To Show Off Her Grammys, Reveals He Has A Song On Her New Album

By Becca Longmire | ET Canada | February 2, 2023

Shania Twain may be a huge star, but at home she’s just mom to her 21-year-old son Eja.

The country superstar chats to ET Canada’s Jedson Tavernier for a new special, with her recalling a special moment with Eja when he asked where all her accolades were kept.

Twain reveals, “None of my awards were out and my son just said, this is not that long ago, so he’s like a teenager… he’s like, ‘Mom, where are all your awards?’

“They’re in the archives, which is a small room in the basement. Stored like respectfully, but you know, not on display. He goes ‘well, can’t we just at least put the Grammys up? So we got the Grammys, we put them on the shelf, he’s like ‘mom, don’t you want to see them? Aren’t you proud of these? You’ve earned these.'”

Twain gushes, “It was really cute, so I started putting more of my awards out.

“I appreciated him bringing that up, it was very cute.”

As Tavernier explains how the Canadian hitmaker had previously mentioned Eja wanting to get into audio engineering, she responds: “He’s so full on now into music. That is his passion. He lives, breathes it. In fact, he’s got one of his songs on my current album, on the Queen of Me album. I didn’t tell him that he was on it until it was already done. Just not to get his hopes up too high.

“He’s very talented, we don’t work together per se, he really loves his independence. He does his own thing,” adding that she’s actually discovered a lot of new music through him.

Twain says of whether Eja is aware of just how big his mom is and if he just sees her as mom at home: “He sees me as mom, I’m mom all the way. There’s no crossing any lines there. He’s very on top of it.

“He knows what I’ve achieved, he knows what I represent in my career. Does not see me as that in our relationship at all. We’re just mom and son, all the way.”
