Shania Twain has many reasons to celebrate in 2023. She released her sixth studio album, Queen of Me, in February; her self-titled debut album turned 30 on April 20; and on April 28, she'll launch her Queen of Me Tour, headlining arenas in 76 cities in North America and Europe.

With a catalog of countless hits — including seven country No. 1s — Twain's setlist is a celebration in itself. And as her recent eclectic red carpet looks have teased, the Queen of Me tour will commemorate Twain's boundary-pushing fashion as much as her music.

"There's nothing boring about the wardrobe in this show," she teases. "I am styling the tour myself — designing, and cutting, and putting the wardrobe together. So every change will be one-of-a-kind."

In between tour rehearsals, Twain sat down with GRAMMY.com to dive into some of her classics and new tracks, many of which will be part of the Queen of Me show. She shared her most prominent memories from each, from her hair "nightmare" in the "You're Still the One" music video to the life-altering moment that inspired Queen of Me cut "Inhale/Exhale AIR."

Below, the five-time GRAMMY winner tells unique stories behind 10 of her most beloved songs, from "Man! I Feel Like a Woman!" to "Queen of Me."
