Beyond Shania Twain<\/a><\/strong>\u2018s glitz and glam was a struggle no one knew about until today.<\/p>\n The Canadian singer and songwriter poured her heart out in a new interview, revealing that she had gone through an emotionally draining period during her 2019 Las Vegas residency.<\/p>\n Shania Twain is no stranger to speaking up about her troubles, frequently pushing for body positivity and embracing aging with grace.<\/p>\n KWKC\/MEGA<\/p>\n Twain poured her heart out in a new interview, sharing how 2019 had been one of the most challenging moments in her life. The singer\u2019s Las Vegas residency nearly became a tale of horror after she desperately tried to lose weight to regain her former glory.<\/p>\n According to Twain, her body had changed in ways she could not accept, confessing that she did not like her appearance at the time. Twain\u2019s distaste for her own body was so bad that she could no longer stand her reflection in the mirror. She told The Times<\/a>:<\/p>\n \u201cI stopped looking at myself in the mirror. I hated my body. I\u2019m like, \u2018Oh, I cannot stand this changing body.\u2019 But that was so unhealthy.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Jen Lowery \/ MEGA<\/p>\n Twain explained that she hadn\u2019t done anything different in her usual routine, but her body began changing as she aged. The transformation did a number on her mental health, making Twain more conscious of her appearance and determined to lose weight.<\/p>\n She recalled pushing her body to the limit and doing \u201cvery unhealthy things\u201d to regain her confidence. \u201cI was working my body more than I was feeding it to keep up with the strain,\u201d Twain said of her attempt to get thinner, adding that she eventually paid the price.<\/p>\n Twain\u2019s actions left her body \u201cmalnourished,\u201d which in turn caused her to suffer injuries while performing onstage. Fortunately, she no longer feels disappointed by her appearance, crediting menopause for changing her perspective and helping her understand that some things are beyond her control.<\/p>\n MEGA<\/p>\n The interview wasn\u2019t the first time Twain had credited menopause for changing her views, previously sharing similar sentiments in 2022. At the time, she surprised fans by going topless for a new single, \u201cWaking Up Dreaming.\u201d<\/p>\n Twain addressed her decision to go topless while speaking to PEOPLE<\/a>, saying, \u201cThis is me expressing my truth. I\u2019m comfortable in my own skin, and this is the way I am sharing that confidence.\u201d She noted that as a woman in her late 50s, she didn\u2019t have to hide behind clothes, adding:<\/p>\n \u201cI can\u2019t 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 that is well into my menopause.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n MEGA<\/p>\n Twain noted that it felt \u201cliberating\u201d after going through menopause and accepting her body\u2019s transformation with age. She recalled being hesitant about taking her top off because her curves were no longer as \u201cplump as they used to be.\u201d<\/p>\n Such depressing thoughts did not last long on Twain\u2019s mind as she refused to allow her confidence to dwindle. She remembered thinking that she should not allow her courage to dull and chose to embrace her aging body. These thoughts pushed Twain to go topless for her single\u2019s cover art.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m not going to be shy about it. I want to be courageous about it, and I want to share that courage in the artwork that I am directing,\u201d Twain said. She has always chosen bold ideas for her music, going bra-less and baring her midriff for her debut music video \u201cWhat Made You Say That\u201d in 1993.<\/p>\n ZUMAPRESS.com \/ MEGA<\/p>\n Besides opening up about her body image issues, Twain has been vocal about her dark past. The Blast<\/a> reported in March 2025 that Twain had shared how her body image issues were connected to her childhood trauma.<\/p>\n The \u201cYou\u2019re Still the One\u201d hitmaker confessed that she felt insecure about her body from a young age because she had been \u201ctouched inappropriately so many times.\u201d Twain claimed she had been in many abusive situations, which in turn led to her hating herself for being a woman.<\/p>\n Twain confessed that she even had thoughts of becoming a \u201cbig, strong man that nobody was going to f-ck around with,\u201d and told her mom of her plans to become a bodybuilder as a child. She also recalled hating her curvy body because she grew up at a time when being \u201cvery, very thin\u201d was associated with \u201celegance and feminine beauty.\u201d<\/p>\n What will Shania Twain share next?<\/p>\n The Shania Twain Recalls A Time \u2018I Hated My Body\u2019 During Las Vegas Residency<\/a> first appeared on The Blast<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Beyond Shania Twain\u2018s glitz and glam was a struggle no one knew about until today.
