This country superstar is an avid horse lover. She owns at least six horses, including three Tennessee Walking horses and two Saddlebreds. She's famous for including horses in her music videos and Las Vegas shows, recently singing atop one for a concert of 4,000.
Shania has a rather large German Shepherd that goes everywhere with her, and also doubles as her guard dog. His name is Tim, named after her home-town, Timmins, in Ontario. (Unfortunately, Tim died during Shania's UP! tour).
Twain adopted Shania and her four siblings when she was just 4 years old. The family dealt with financial insecurity while she was growing up, and Shania experienced unwanted sexual attention both at home and outside of it. “I was ashamed to be a girl,” she says. “It was terrible,” she adds in the interview.
Twain's self-titled debut album was released on April 20, 1993, in North America and garnered her audiences outside Canada. Shortly before its release, she sang backing vocals for other Mercury artists, including on Jeff Chance's album Walk Softly on the Bridges (1992) and Sammy Kershaw's album Haunted Heart (1993).
