Country superstar Shania Twain is what many women have always aspired to look like. She is fierce, confident, and knows exactly who she is. Yet, there was a time when the 60-year-old hated herself and struggled with her body. Fortunately, menopause has come in and changed everything. Keep reading for more details on what the Grammy winner has had to say.

Shania Twain Loves Menopause

Many women dread menopause and fear what it will do to their bodies. They think that it will change who they are and how they view themselves. Yet, for Shania Twain, it was a saving grace. She has long been one of the most dynamic females in country music. Her voice is iconic, and she can sing like no other. When “Man! I Feel Like a Woman!” comes on, all genders suddenly feel like they can tear a door down. Unfortunately for Shania, she battled with body dysmorphia for a very long time.

It was 2019, and she was puffing up. Shania noted that mirrors were not her friend, so she began doing dangerous things to herself. Admittedly, it was all about finding control to get her to a place of semi-contentment:

So all of a sudden I’m bloating, and I’m definitely not in control. I can’t just lose five pounds. I was doing very unhealthy things. And I was working my body more than I was feeding it to keep up with the strain.

This caused more harm than good, but then, menopause came calling, and it changed the game. It has given her a new perspective as she has handed over control. Moreover, she realizes she cannot control everything. Therefore, she wants to look at herself all of the time, which is a beautiful thing:

Now I’m like, bring on the mirrors, I’m going to look at myself all day long! Menopause has been very good for me because I’ve learned that some things you cannot control.

Learning To Love

It has been just the last few years that Shania Twain has felt comfortable in her skin. She spent decades hating herself, but the Ontario native finally had to embrace her sexy side. So, in 2023, she posed naked for the cover of her Queen of Me album. She realized that she was right where she needed to be physically and wanted to hold onto that moment as long as she could. After she appeared at the 2026 ACM Awards, fans were shocked by her face. They had a lot to say, and much was harsh. Therefore, they could not empathize with her body dysmorphia and her “heavily filtered” aesthetic:

• Yep she had to keep changing her face..GOD forbit she aged with grace!
• How does that explain her totally changing her face? She was attractive before.
• She may hate to look everybody back then and accepted it now, but she sure didn’t accept the way her face changed concidering all of the so-called improvements made.
