Shania Twain 'Unashamed Of My New Body' After Posing Topless At 57

Shania Twain is confident in her body and wants everyone to know it.

Twain posed topless for the cover of her newly released single "Waking Up Dreaming," one of the tracks on her upcoming sixth studio album, "Queen of Me," which will be out on Feb. 3.

In an interview with People, the 57-year-old singer got candid about how doing a nude photoshoot helped heal her lifelong body image issues.

"This is me expressing my truth. I'm comfortable in my own skin, and this is the way I am sharing that confidence," Twain told the outlet Wednesday, adding that anything is "fashionable" if it's worn with "confidence."

She continued, "I am a woman in my late 50s, and I don't need to hide behind the clothes. I can't even tell you how good it felt to do nude shooting. I was just so unashamed of my new body, you know, as a woman that is well into my menopause. I'm not even emotional about it; I just feel okay about it. It's really liberating."

In the cover art, Twain covered her bare chest with her arms as she posed in a cowboy hat and colorful pointy-toed boots.

The "You're Still the One" hitmaker announced the song in September and shared a snap of the single art via Instagram. In the caption, Twain said that she was "super excited" about the announcement and got "a rush of adrenaline and nerves."

"I've spent the last couple years working away on new music... on my documentary... on the Vegas residency and it's been such a creatively fulfilling time for me, I can't wait for this next chapter, and 'Waking Up Dreaming' is just the start," she added.

The country-pop music icon is no stranger to breaking boundaries in country music with her art. For her 1993 music video "What Made You Say That," she went bra-less and exposed her midriff.

"From the very beginning — the very first video — I was ditching the bra," said Twain. "But, I was a lot firmer then, so as I grew older, I started feeling a different pressure of, 'Well, your breasts are not as plump as they used to be. Your skin is not as tight as it used to be. Maybe you should start covering it up a little bit more.'"

When those kinds of thoughts crept into her mind, she chose to be bold.

"I hit this wall and was like, 'Whoa, my confidence is regressing. My courage is dulling. Why am I allowing this? Frig that. I am not regressing. I am embracing my body as it changes, as I should have from my childhood to my teens, as I should be from my taut, 20s and 30-year-old self, to my menopausal body. I'm not going to be shy about it. I want to be courageous about it, and I want to share that courage in the artwork that I am directing," she added.

Twain recently opened up about her past trauma and body image issues in an interview with The Sunday Times. She recalled downplaying her feminine features and trying to flatten her breasts to avoid being targeted by her stepfather Jerry, who she said sexually and physically abused her.

"I hid myself, and I would flatten my boobs. I would wear bras that were too small for me, and I'd wear two, play it down until there was nothing girl about me. Make it easier to go unnoticed," Twain said.

Twain's stepdad and mom died in a car accident 35 years ago.
