Shania Twain's Lost 1993 Interview: 5 Weeks Into Her Debut Album | Dini Petty

Shania Twain, five weeks after releasing her debut album, sits down with Dini Petty in May 1993. Her first single "What Made You Say That" has stalled at #55 on Billboard. Seven months from now, she'll meet producer Mutt Lange and become the best-selling female artist in country music history. She doesn't know that yet.

What you see here is the woman before the transformation: 27 years old, still close enough to her tree-planting days that she bathes with a cup out of habit, still grounded in the tragedy that made her head of household at 22. This is Shania before "Come On Over," before 100 million records, before everything.
