Shania Twain, singer and songwriter, was one of the first crossover stars, combining country music with pop and rock.  Her iconic appearances in high heeled, thigh-length boots and top hats conveyed the image of a rock goddess not a conventional country singer.  She empowered women with the “prerogative to have a little fun”.  Her life story is as interesting including a 15-year hiatus from music right at the peak of her career. She has sold over 100 million records, making her the best-selling female artist in country music history and among the best-selling music artists of all time. Her success garnered her several honorific titles including the “Queen of Country Pop”.
