An eight-year-old Shania, then Eilleen Regina Twain, cut her teeth as a performer in \u201csmoky small bars,\u201d filled with \u201cmostly men, mostly intoxicated,\u201d she explains. \u201cI was definitely the only child performing.\u201d It was in those dingy venues where she earned her nickname, and gave her the title for this album; in those days, she would be introduced with, \u201cLadies and Gentlemen, please welcome to the stage, Little Miss Twain.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tThe title track is primarily about her mom and the roles she played in Shania\u2019s early career, from manager, to agent, driver, and everything else. Her parents weren\u2019t able to witness Shania\u2019s global success story, her transformation from <em>Little Miss Twain<\/em> to the best-selling female country artist of them all. They died in a car accident when she was 22.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tThe Canadian singer and songwriter also confirmed the rumors of a musical and biopic. \u201cIt\u2019s all real, it\u2019s all happening. A lot of these things have been in the works for a while,\u201d she admits. There\u2019s no shortage of tales to tell, including the run of three straight albums that were certified diamond by the RIAA, beginning with 1995\u2019s <em>The Woman In M<\/em>e; the five Grammy Awards\u2019 the 100 million-plus album sales; her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame; and the downs, including that fatal crash; her battle with Lyme disease; and multiple surgeries, including \u201cvery intensive\u201d open-throat operations which took its toll on her vocals and her mental health.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tIt\u2019s now all rosy, and busy, for Twain. She opened for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/artist\/harry-styles\/\">Harry Styles<\/a>\u00a0during his 12-show Wembley Stadium run in London earlier this summer, having made a surprise guest appearance during his headlining set at Coachella 2022. With that record-setting residency, Twain missed the wedding of the year, the nuptials of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce. Shania will give TayTay a big hug when they next meet. Before that happens, Twain showered the pop superstar with praise for her songwriting. \u201cShe\u2019s a fabulous performer. I think if you wrote a song for her it would be a hit, no matter what,\u201d she enthused. \u201cBut she does write her own songs. She sits down at home, plays the piano, plays the guitar. So, I admire her musicianship and her commitment to telling her stories. So I love her. I love everything about her.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tWatch the <em>Tonight Show<\/em> interview below.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\">\n<p>\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Shania Twain Missed Taylor Swift&amp;apos;s Wedding to Perform at Harry Styles&amp;apos; Concert | The Tonight Show\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zDASJYbThGc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tTwain also played a round of \u201cBox of Lies\u201d with Fallon, and performed album cut \u201cDirty Rosie,\u201d a song whose lyrics reach deep into her youth.
