Shania Twain is the queen of country. And at 59, she’s still saying, “Let’s go girls!”
Yesterday, the Grammy award winner posted a series of photos to her 2.7 million Instagram followers giving a sneak peek into her life.
She wrote: “I thought I would share a little bit of what my life has looked like lately. A phone call that could have been an email, jam sessions with friends, meeting a wonderful singer at a restaurant for an impromptu still the one duet, and traveling and adventures with Sapphie.”

She also gave a surprise announcement to her fans.
“We head into rehearsals for the Summer tour next week,” Shania wrote. “I can’t wait to get back on the road!”

The country legend turns 60 this year. And she has a lot of opinions on aging as a woman.
“I was always insecure about my body,” Shania told US Weekly. “As a female, throughout my youth [I was] touched inappropriately so many times [and] I was in abusive situations where you hate being a woman. I hated being a girl.”
Having been in the industry for decades, Shania understands the ups and downs of being in the public eye. Especially how it impacts one’s self worth.

Frédéric impresses her much
Shania started dating Frédéric Thiébaud in 2009. The two got engaged in December 2010 and married just one month later. The small sunset ceremony was held on New Year’s Day 2011 in Rincon, Puerto Rico.
Shania and the Swiss businessman fell in love after she split from her ex-husband, Robert Lange, who allegedly had an affair with Frédéric’s then-wife Marie-Anne — Shania’s close friend at the time.
“[He] has been the most constant companion and support,” Shania said to PEOPLE in 2010. “We leaned on one another through the ups and downs, taking turns holding each other up. We’ve become stronger and closer through it all, as have our children, Eja and Johanna.”

“I have a beautiful stepdaughter and I have a beautiful son,” Shania told ITV’s Lorraine in 2017. “I’m very happy. I just love being a parent.”
