Shania Twain: Success, money and turning 50
Canadian singer embarks on first tour in more than a decade
Canadian singer Shania Twain says she's embracing the fact that she just turned 50 this year.
"That sounds a little trite actually everyone says that don't they but really I am. I really feel like I've earned something that I didn't have even five years ago,"she said to The National's Ian Hanomansing.
The singer is marking her birthday with another milestone she's embarking on her first tour in more than a decade.
She says she still gets nervous before she goes on stage.
"It's not like success erased my insecurities. I still am who I am at the core,"she said. "You know what, fame and money doesn't fix everything."
Twain says with experience, she's gotten over her shyness and has also regained her voice.
