Shania Twain is unapologetic about her latest album cover, which sees her posing nude, as she’s making up for lost time. 

The You’re Still The One singer is set to release her sixth album, Queen Of Me, in February more than five years after her last record. 

It’s perhaps her most confident album cover yet with Shania, 57, seen posing naked while slathered in mud as an alternative to the original cover, which features the singer riding a horse albeit without a bra. 

Opening up about her newfound confidence, the Canadian musician said in a new interview: ‘I didn’t do it when I was younger so I’m going to do it now. I’m going to feel and show that I feel comfortable in my own skin. 

‘Queen of Me is all about being the boss of myself. And taking responsibility for what I put out there, what I project. And my truth, as I get older, which I wish I had this truth when I was younger, is just to feel more – less apologetic for how I am, how I look, less affected by other people’s criticism.’ 

Speaking on the TalkShopLive podcast, the That Don’t Impress Me Much singer explained how she refused to wear bikinis when she was younger due to feeling insecure about her body. 

‘So I’m saying well, the heck with that. I didn’t do it when I was younger so I’m going to do it now,’ she said looking back in hindsight. 

‘I’m going to feel and show that I feel comfortable in my own skin. So what I did was, I did a photo session naked with just mud.’

Shania was clear to state that she’s not an exhibitionist and the photo shoot was more about her feeling it was ‘time to feel comfortable in [her] own skin’. 

‘Just share those insecurities, shed that skin of insecurity,’ she said.

The five-time Grammy-winner continued: ‘We don’t want to look in the mirror as we start ageing, we get a little more turning the lights down, even when it’s just us alone. I’m saying, okay, who turns the lights down low when they’re alone getting into the shower? An insecure person.’ 

She added that the photo shoot ‘was the final step of saying okay I can’t just tell people that. I can’t just say it. I’ve got to live it. I have to live it – without running down the street naked’. 

‘Why should it be offensive just because I’m older?’ she wondered. 

Shania will release Queen Of Me on February 3, 2023, featuring the lead single Last Day of Summer, and will follow it up with a world tour kicking off in April.
