The Queen of Country Pop has sold over 100 million albums worldwide and won five Grammy awards, but her path to stardom was not easy.
Shania Twain plays the Legends slot at this year’s Glastonbury festival. Growing up in poverty, Shania’s mother sent her out to sing in bars and clubs at a young age to make ends meet. Fame found her at 30 and, to this day, Shania Twain remains the only female artist to have three consecutive diamond albums in the US. Her record-breaking second album, The Woman in Me, was released in 1995 and became the biggest-selling country album of all time by a female musician. She followed that with Come On Over, released in 1997, which became the biggest selling album of all time by a female solo artist in any genre.
Nick heralds Shania’s arrival with a bottle of Pommery Champagne NV Brut Rosé Royal while Angela prepares two of Shania’s favourite dishes, courgette fritti with truffle and artichoke mayo and a delicious aubergine parmigiana. The experts at Waitrose pair this meal with an Italian red, Araldica Barbera D'Asti Superiore.
Shania loves London and tells Nick and Ange she likes to ride horses incognito in Hyde Park. She also loves to cook and asks plenty of questions about her meal; listen out for some excellent tips from Angela. Our trio talk wellies at Glastonbury, the secret to Switzerland’s culinary culture and why Shania simply couldn’t make an album with Prince.
