There are many things that can be said about Shania Twain, but no one will ever try to undermine her self-assurance. The 57-year-old country music legend has been at the top of the music business for many years, and she has continually changed over time to make sure she stays current and beloved by millions of people around the world.
But now, Shania is grabbing attention not for her music, but for her choice to strip off for a recent photoshoot for the cover of her latest single, “Waking Up Dreaming.” In the photos, Shania leaves little to the imagination, demonstrating her comfort in her own skin. Speaking to People Magazine, she said, “This is me expressing my truth. I’m comfortable in my own skin, and this is how I am sharing that confidence.”
Shania believes that the best fashion is confidence, and that it doesn’t matter what you wear as long as you wear it with this confidence. She says, “I am a woman in my late 50s, and I don’t need to hide behind clothes. I can’t even tell you how good it felt to do a nude shoot. I was just so unashamed of my new body… It’s really liberating.”
In the picture, Shania is seen kneeling on the ground wearing a white skirt and tie-dyed pink boots. She covers her modesty with her arms out in front of her body, adding the finishing touch to her ensemble with a white cowboy hat. This photo is a powerful representation of her self-assurance, proving that age is just a number when it comes to embracing confidence.
Shania has already spoken candidly about the bodily insecurities she has dealt with throughout her years in the spotlight. As far back as 1993, she decided to go bra-less and show off her midriff for her “What Made You Say That” music video. She admitted that as she grew older, she felt pressure to cover up, believing that her breasts weren’t as plump and her skin wasn’t as tight as it used to be.
However, she realized that she needed to defy these self-doubts and embrace her changing body. In her own words, she said, “I am not regressing. I am embracing my body as it changes, as I should have from my childhood to my teens, as I should be from my taut 20s and 30-year-old self… I’m 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.”
Twain’s upcoming album, “Queen of Me,” is set to be released on February 3. Through her music, she hopes to inspire others to embrace their bodies at every stage of life.
I don’t know about you, but I believe we need more strong female role models like Shania Twain. It’s crucial to feel comfortable in our own skin, regardless of our age, race, skin tone, or anything else. Let’s promote a message of body positivity by sharing this article on Facebook. Together, we can inspire others to embrace their true selves and find the confidence they deserve.
