Shania Twain is a Canadian country pop singer and songwriter known for her genre-blending sound that has influenced the landscape of popular music.

Twain's career began with Mercury Nashville Records, where her self-titled debut album saw modest commercial success. Her trajectory shifted after collaborating with producer Robert John "Mutt" Lange. Twain's second album, "The Woman in Me," achieved both critical and commercial acclaim, selling more than 18 million copies and earning a Grammy Award for country album of the year. She became the only female artist to have three consecutive albums sell more than 10 million copies in the United States. Her third album, "Come On Over," stands as the best-selling country album of all time, the top-selling album of the 1990s, and the sixth best-selling album in U.S. history. Twain's fourth studio album, "Up!," was a double album featuring 19 tracks in both pop and country styles, reaching the top position on both the Billboard 200 and Billboard's Top Country Albums chart, with global sales totaling 16 million copies.

Twain's career was interrupted by a significant health challenge. After releasing her "Greatest Hits" album, she entered a hiatus, later revealing that Lyme disease and dysphonia had severely affected her singing voice. Twain documented her vocal recovery in the OWN miniseries "Why Not? with Shania Twain," released the single "Today Is Your Day," and published her autobiography, "From This Moment On." She returned to live performance with a concert residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace, "Shania: Still the One." Twain continued her comeback with the release of the studio album "Now" and an accompanying world tour.
