Growing older in the public eye comes with pressures that many celebrities rarely discuss in detail, but Shania Twain<\/a><\/strong> is changing that.<\/p>\n The country music icon is opening up about a difficult period in her life when menopause, body changes, and unrealistic expectations pushed her toward unhealthy habits.<\/p>\n Years later, she is sharing how that experience reshaped her relationship with aging, self-image, and personal acceptance.<\/p>\n KWKC\/MEGA<\/p>\n During a recent interview with The Times<\/a>, Shania Twain reflected on a challenging chapter that unfolded during her 2019 Let\u2019s Go! Las Vegas residency.<\/p>\n At the time, the singer struggled to accept the physical changes that came with menopause. The experience affected her confidence so deeply that she stopped wanting to see her own reflection.<\/p>\n \u201cI stopped looking at myself in the mirror. I hated my body,\u201d Twain admitted.<\/p>\n The singer recalled feeling overwhelmed as her body changed in ways she could not control.<\/p>\n She shared, \u201cI\u2019m, like, \u2018Oh, I cannot stand this changing body.\u2019 But that was so unhealthy. Who cannot look at themselves in the mirror?\u201d<\/p>\n For Twain, the frustration stemmed from a feeling that familiar methods of maintaining her appearance no longer worked.<\/p>\n \u201cSo all of a sudden I\u2019m bloating, and I\u2019m definitely not in control. I can\u2019t just lose five pounds,\u201d she shared.<\/p>\n The loss of control became emotionally draining and eventually led her down a path she now regrets.<\/p>\n Xavier Collin\/Image Press Agency \/ MEGA<\/p>\n As she searched for ways to manage the changes happening to her body, Shania Twain admitted she made decisions that negatively affected her health.<\/p>\n The singer explained that she began engaging in extreme efforts to lose weight while continuing to perform demanding live shows.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd I was working my body more than I was feeding it to keep up with the strain,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n The consequences were serious. Twain revealed that she became malnourished during that period and even suffered a thigh injury while performing on stage in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n Rather than helping her feel better, the unhealthy habits only created new physical and emotional challenges.<\/p>\n Looking back, the music star now views that period as a wake-up call that forced her to reconsider how she treated herself and what she expected from her body.<\/p>\n MEGA<\/p>\n Over time, Twain\u2019s outlook began to shift dramatically.<\/p>\n Instead of fighting every physical change, she started focusing on acceptance and self-compassion. The transformation altered how she viewed menopause and aging.<\/p>\n \u201cNow I\u2019m like, bring on the mirrors, I\u2019m going to look at myself all day long!\u201d she said.<\/p>\n The singer also explained that menopause unexpectedly taught her a valuable lesson.<\/p>\n She shared, \u201cMenopause has been very good for me because I\u2019ve learned that some things you cannot control.\u201d<\/p>\n Accepting that reality helped remove much of the anxiety she once felt about getting older.<\/p>\n The star now approaches life with a different perspective, one centered on appreciation rather than frustration.<\/p>\n MEGA<\/p>\n Shania Twain has spoken about this change in mindset before. During a 2023 appearance on the \u201cToday<\/a>\u201d Show, she shared how accepting the aging process brought a sense of freedom she had never experienced before.<\/p>\n She said, \u201cI wake up every day, in the last few years, really feeling a freedom I\u2019ve never felt before. And that is coming with acceptance that I cannot slow the process of aging.\u201d<\/p>\n She continued, \u201cThat is out of my control. So, I need to start enjoying aging. And enjoying all that comes with that.\u201d<\/p>\n The singer also revealed that she has become much more comfortable with her appearance than she was in earlier years.<\/p>\n She said she now \u201cfeels great in my own skin\u201d and \u201ccan look in the mirror with the lights on.\u201d<\/p>\n Reflecting on that confidence, Twain added, \u201cI\u2019m so loving that experience. So, that is one example of freedom, feeling liberated. I really don\u2019t mind! I walk around my bathroom, the lights on\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n The experience has helped her confront insecurities that followed her for much of her life.<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t know. I feel good about facing that kind of fear that I\u2019ve had I think all of my life when I really think about it,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n The country superstar continued\u00a0to discuss her outlook during a 2024 interview with\u00a0The Mirror<\/a>, in which\u00a0she explained that her priorities have changed significantly.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m just feeling grateful that I have my health, that I can ride horses. I enjoy being active, being physical,\u201d Twain said while noting that she is \u201cwell into the menopause.\u201d<\/p>\n She admitted that much of her younger years were spent focusing on appearance, but eventually she realized that mindset was preventing her from appreciating herself.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen I started to realize I had been missing out on whatever I am, I knew it was time to make a major change,\u201d she revealed.<\/p>\n That realization helped her move beyond many of the insecurities that once consumed her.<\/p>\n Today, Twain says she \u201cno longer feels inhibited by my body, by those silly things.\u201d<\/p>\n The singer continues to thrive professionally as well. She recently hosted the Academy of Country Music Awards and took the stage at Wembley Stadium as part of Harry Styles\u2019 Together, Together tour.<\/p>\n Wearing black hotpants and a fitted corset top, Twain confidently embraced the spotlight.\u00a0For someone who once avoided mirrors altogether, that confidence may be the most meaningful victory of all.<\/p>\n The Shania Twain Reveals Painful Weight Loss Battle During Menopause<\/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":" Growing older in the public eye comes with pressures that many celebrities rarely discuss in detail, but Shania Twain is changing that.
