About Shania Twain

Her career taking off like a star through the stratosphere, Shania Twain was the single biggest name in country music in the mid-90s besides Garth Brooks. Her formula? A country-pop sound crafted and finessed by producer Robert "Mutt" Lange, not to mention a shameless sex appeal that made the Canadian singer-songwriter a multi-platinum phenom.

Yes, Twain rocketed to fame on the strength of her second album, "The Woman in Me." In 1995, it was practically unheard of for a country artist to cross to the pop charts, but the record peaked at No. 5 and paved the way for the follow-up album (1997's "Come On Over") to become the best-selling studio album of all time by a female act in any genre. It also became the best-selling country album of all time, selling over 40 million copies worldwide.

It's hard to believe, given her early success, that Twain hasn't cut another album since 2002's "Up!," but she nearly disappeared from the music industry following its release. The time away from the spotlight helped the songstress to focus on raising her son, Eja, and work on her marriage to Lang. Unfortunately, the marriage didn't last and the pair separated in 2008 before officially divorcing in 2010. (Since then, Twain has married Frederic Thiebaud, an executive at Nestle).

Twain released her first new single in six years, "Today Is Your Day," in May 2011. She also said at the time she planned to finish her fifth studio album, but it still has yet to be released. She explained the delay in the fall of 2013 that she was still in the process of finding the right producer.

Twain is currently headlining Ceasers Palace in Las Vegas, and her "Shania: Still The One" residency at The Colosseum has added 21 shows May, June and July 2014.
