Shania Twain wants to get together with some girlfriends and get naked. At least that’s what she told Woman’s World in a recent interview.

Shania revealed, “I’m dreaming out loud here, but I want to go to a remote area somewhere in the world and just have a nude weekend, just with the girls, the women I am the closest to. It makes you want to laugh, right? I wouldn’t have said that before!”

She added, “I just started looking at myself in the mirror naked as I grow older, and now, I’m so well into menopause, my skin is changing. Everything is changing, and I’m finally feeling more comfortable in my own skin than I ever have. It’s been a journey to accept all of me. I’ve come a long way.”

Twain said her new dream is all about confidence in her body. She said, “I’m not in any way being an exhibitionist — but I would love to be able to share that carefree confidence with other women. I don’t want to spend my time looking at myself in the mirror, going, ‘Oh gosh! I never wanted to be nude with other women on the beach!’ I want to be okay with being naked with other women on the beach.”

Shania concluded, “I don’t want to be afraid or anxious of showing all the little flaws and scars that are adding up with age. I’ve become okay with that.”

Twain recently toldThe Today Show host Hoda Kotb on her podcast “Making Space With Hoda Kotb” that although she has considered it in the past, plastic surgery is something she will not do.

Shania said, “I’ve come to a point where, no, I’m not gonna do it. Maybe that was probably part of what pushed me to go, ‘OK, it’s time to start loving yourself in your own skin.’ Because sure, I’ve got lots of friends that have had very successful surgeries. But I’ve also seen others that aren’t so successful.” She added, “And then I think, ‘Well, what if I’m one of those that doesn’t heal very well, then I’m gonna hate that about myself.’ Then I’m gonna regret doing it. And then, maybe I’m going to fall and cut myself, and I’m gonna need stitches, for real.”

13 Shania Twain Songs That We Can't Get Out of Our Heads

• 13. “Endless Love” (Lionel Richie featuring Shania Twain) – 2012

  This is a remake but done so nicely by Twain and Richie who recorded it at Shania’s home in the Bahamas.

  A touching song that showed Shania’s softer side. Her eighth single from her ‘Woman In Me’ album, the video features two choirs. One included the Fisk University Jubilee Singers, and the second was a local performing arts choirs singing along with Twain in a hangar at the Nashville airport.

• 8. “Love Gets Me Every Time” – 1997

  Share

  The lead single from Twain's third studio album "Come On Over."Twain developed the song at first and brought it to Lange under the title, "'Gol Darn Gone and Done It", which derived from a country expression. The name made Lange burst into laughter when he first heard it, and the couple completed the song together.

  This song was nominated for both Best Country Song and Best Female Country Vocal Performance at the 1996 Grammy Awards. It won Single of the Year at the Canadian Country Music Awards.

• 6. “Honey, I’m Home” – 1998

  Share

  This one is freaking catchy. I’ve been singing it since I started this list. Is it fair to say the lyrics are super simple? Well, they are, and maybe that’s what appeals to me. The song became Shania's seventh, and to date, her final number-one single on the Billboard Country singles chart. 

• 5. “That Don’t Impress Me Much” – 1998

  Share

  Any song that mentions that Brad Pitt doesn’t “impress me much” is a winner for me. Yeah, I love Pitt, but this song has it all, and what a beat.  In 2017, during a listening party for her fifth studio album Now, Twain revealed the reason behind using Brad Pitt's name instead of other male celebrities. She said that after she heard about the scandal between Pitt and Gwyneth Paltrow and the subsequent leaking of Pitt's naked photo in Playgirl magazine, she was left unimpressed by all the fuss as she felt that it was normal to see naked people.
• 4. “From This Moment On” – 1997

  Share

  What an emotional love song! This song was written during a soccer game in Italy. “My husband loves sports. I don't know the game that well, so my mind drifted, and I started writing."  Initially, Shania thought that "From This Moment On" would be perfect for singer Celine Dion.

• 3. “No One Needs to Know” – 1996

  Share

  I have always loved the rhythm and the words of this song. She plays the song live in concert with just a twelve-string guitar. It is featured in the 1996 movie Twister. 

• 2. “You’re Still the One” – 1997

  Share

  So very good. "You're Still the One" was nominated for four Grammy Awards in 1999, winning two. It won Best Country Song and Best Female Country Vocal Performance. Tim McGaw recently called it one of the best love songs ever written.
• 1.”Man! I Feel Like a Woman!” – 1999

  Share

  An epic anthem and the song that closes out every one of Shania’s shows. My son wasn’t even born till 2007, almost ten years after the song came out, and well, because of his mom, he knows every word.
