"
This is me
expressing my truth. I feel
comfortable in my own skin
and this is the way I show that confidence. I believe that the best fashion is
confidence
, and whatever you wear, if you wear it with confidence, it
's in. I'm a woman in my late 50s and
I don't need to hide
behind clothes. I can't even tell you how good I felt doing those nude photos.
I wasn't ashamed
of my new body, you know, like a woman that she's well into menopause. I don't even get excited, I just feel good. It's really liberating," she admitted.

problems
with her image.
"I hit this wall thinking, 'Wow, my
confidence
is deteriorating. My
courage
is weakening. Why am I allowing this?' To hell with that. I'm not going to back down. I'm going to
accept my body
as it changes .
, as I should have been from my childhood to my teens, as I should be from my 20s and 30s to my
menopausal body
. I'm not going to be shy about it.
I want to be brave
about it and I want to share that courage in my art," she revealed. .

Shania Twain's image problems began in her childhood
The vocalist expressed in her interview with 'People' that her image problems began in her childhood and adolescence.
"I never wore a bathing suit to the beach as a teenager because I was too shy. My father made me self-conscious. I felt it was dirty to wear shorts or not be
fully covered
," she said.

"As my body grew and I became a teenager, I suddenly
started to have curves
. I'm a curvy person.
I have breasts
and they bounce when I walk. When that started to happen, I started holding them down: I was wearing two bras, I was wearing very tight under my big hoodies, I
dressed like a boy
. I didn't feel good about becoming a woman. I was
ashamed
. I was hiding my curves, I was rejecting them," she added.

With this cover, the Canadian wanted to set an example and stand up to the body shaming that reigns in the media.
"I want other women who are getting older or any woman, even if you're 12 and developing, to
not feel
like they
need to hide
behind fear and shyness. But you have to do it with your own sense of what's right in mind, good and safe for you," he claimed.
