But her life changed after āThe Woman in Me,ā her Grammy-winning second album released in February 1995, which was the best-selling release by a woman in country music at the time.
But she was also taking a risk as a country artist to be so forward with her sexuality and her classic supermodel looks.
Despite taking a long break from recording between 2002ās āUp!ā and 2017ās āNow,ā Twain is still the best-selling female country artist, according to the Recording Industry of America.
