Shania Twain is showing off how confident of herself she is.
When she posed shirtless for the cover of her new single, “Waking Up Dreaming,” the country-pop star didn’t leave much to the imagination.
This is me expressing my truth. I’m comfortable in my own skin, and this is the way I am sharing that confidence,
she said during an interview.
I think the best fashion is confidence, and whatever you wear… if you’re wearing it with that, it’s fashionable. I am a woman in my late 50s, and I don’t need to hide behind the clothes. I can’t even tell you how good it felt to do nude shooting. I was just so unashamed of my new body… It’s really liberating.
In the topless picture, the now-57-year-old singer is kneeling on the ground while wearing a white skirt and tie-dyed pink boots. Twain wore a white cowboy hat and posed with her arms in front of her body to finish off her look.
The song “Waking Up Dreaming” will be on her sixth studio album, “Queen of Me,” which will come out on February 3.
Even though she’s taken risks in her music career, Twain said she’s had problems with her body over the years.
In the 1993 music video for “What Made You Say That,” the singer took off her bra and showed off her midriff.
From the very beginning… the very first video… I was ditching the bra,
she admitted to the media outlet.
But, I was a lot firmer then, so as I grew older, I started feeling a different pressure of, ‘Well, your breasts are not as plump as they used to be. Your skin is not as tight as it used to be. Maybe you should start covering it up a little bit more.’
The singer of “Man! I Feel Like a Woman” has used her music to keep her self-confidence high.
Shania Twain said that any doubts she had about how she looked made her want to be brave in her next project.
I hit this wall and was like, ‘Whoa, my confidence is regressing. My courage is dulling. Why am I allowing this? Frig that. 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,
she said.
