Shania Twain has revealed that during her 2019 Las Vegas residency she 'hated' her body so much she stopped looking in the mirror, turning to what she now calls 'very unhealthy' methods to appear thinner as she struggled with ageing and life on stage. According to the report, the That Don't Impress Me Much singer, now 60, said the pressure she put on herself left her injured and exhausted before she eventually learned to see her body differently.
The Las Vegas run marked Twain's full-scale return to live performance after years of health problems, including Lyme disease, which damaged her vocal cords and led to multiple surgeries. The residency was billed as a triumphant comeback. Behind the scenes, according to Twain, it became a crucible for old insecurities and new fears about getting older in a business that still rewards youth and a very narrow idea of what a female star should look like.
