Country music icon Shania Twain is embracing her natural beauty and celebrating her 57th birthday in a powerful way: by posing topless for the cover art of her latest single “Waking Up Dreaming.”
The single is part of her upcoming sixth studio album, which she described as a way to put herself on display in a way she never has before. Twain expressed her enjoyment of the experience and the confidence she has gained.
“This is me expressing my truth. I’m comfortable in my own skin, and this is the way I am sharing that confidence,” Twain said. “I think the best fashion is confidence, and whatever you wear — if you’re wearing it with that, it’s fashionable. I am a woman in my late 50s, and I don’t need to hide behind the clothes,” Twain said.
Shania Twain has recently spoken up about her journey to self-love, revealing that she was very self-conscious and shy in her younger years. The Grammy Award-winning artist shared that she felt ashamed of the pressure to conform to someone she wasn’t.
“I was rejecting what I was growing into, which was very natural. How shameful is that? And not shameful of me, but shameful of that pressure. It was terrible,” she said. Twain courageously opened up about her struggles in order to encourage others to embrace themselves and their own natural paths.
Shania Twain is embracing her authentic self and feeling more comfortable in her own skin than ever before. The singer described her experience of shooting her new topless artwork as enjoyable.
Twain stated, “I’m feeling more comfortable in my own skin than I’ve ever felt before.”
“I can’t even tell you how good it felt to do nude shooting. I was just so unashamed of my new body, you know, as a woman well into menopause. I’m not even emotional about it; I just feel okay about it. It’s really liberating,” she added.
