At 57, Shania Twain posed nude and talked about menopause

Shania Twain, considered "shameless" by some for posing nude at 57, has spoken about accepting her "menopausal body," Yahoo Life writes.

According to the publication, the artist said that she prefers to accept all body changes, so she did several nude photo shoots that convey this message to other women.

“I’m over 50 and I don’t need to hide behind clothes,” she said.

Shania Twain has always used her voice to advocate for women, and her latest album, Queen of Me, carries this message that can influence women and provide useful information about menopause.

The artist says that for her, this age of 57 is a period of renaissance, where she has a unique opportunity to speak out and demystify some of the taboo topics associated with female aging and menopause.

In a new interview, the singer talked about loving and accepting her body. The artist also explained the difference between posing now at this age and how she felt when she posed in her youth.

“I can’t even tell you how good it was to pose naked. I wasn't ashamed of my new body at all, I was as shameless as a menopausal woman. I didn’t even have emotions, it was natural, absolutely normal. It's really liberating!" the artist specified.

Initially, the artist had moments of suffering due to aging, and she admitted that she compared her current body with previous versions.

“As I got older, I started to feel a different pressure, that my breasts weren’t as full as they used to be, the skin wasn’t as firm, maybe you should cover up more,” she admitted.

But, at some point, it was these doubts that pushed her to go in the opposite direction. “Wow, my confidence is going down. My courage is boring. Why am I allowing this?,” she said.

And there was a change in perspective. “I accept my body as it changes, as we should have from childhood to adolescence, as I should have done with my anxious self in my 20s and 30s, to my menopausal body. I'm not going to be embarrassed about it. I am brave in this sense, and I want to share this courage in the work that I direct,” said the artist.
