Claims this source supports

• Shania Twain (60) told People in a cover interview (Jul 30 2026) that 'my body is not shameable' and that 'vanity is not worth torture,' saying she is 'not trying to be 30' or 'not trying to be 25.'
• Twain described years of mirror avoidance ('I hated my body') and 'very unhealthy things' done to stay thin, including working her body harder than she was feeding it during perimenopause.
• Twain's 2019 Las Vegas injury was linked to dehydration and malnutrition from extreme dieting while 'raging' through perimenopause.
• Twain described the flip: 'Now I'm like, bring on the mirrors, I'm going to look at myself all day long!' and said 'Menopause has been very good for me because I've learned that some things you cannot control.'
