Shania Twain says she never intended on 'being a trailblazer'

Reflecting on her unexpected role as a trailblazer for women in music, Twain said, "It wasn’t like I intended on being a trailblazer or anything; I never even realized I would be."

"I was just trying to be original, my authentic self, and to do it with conviction. I’m an expressive person, and I put that into my music. I was saying it with attitude and with confidence because I meant it," she continued.

"That girl is working her butt off. She is living an exhausting existence, but she’d dedicated and committed to herself, to her art, and her work," she said.

"It isn’t even about ambition, though I’m sure that most people would call her ambitious," Twain said of the 'Love Story' singer.

"She’s an extremely hard worker, and I’m sure she’s got giant goals. But it’s not all about ambition: it’s about passion and committing yourself to your passion," she added.

Comparing her career approach to Swift's, the 'No One Needs To Know' singer said, "I would say that I’m most proud of my perseverance and that I didn’t waste my talents," she added.

Twain is set to celebrate the 25th anniversary of her 1997 album 'Come On Over' which had hit tracks including 'You're Still the One,' 'Man! I Feel Like a Woman!', 'Honey, I'm Home,'  'Don't Be Stupid (You Know I Love You),' and 'That Don't Impress Me Much'.

"At the time [of release], I wasn’t able to fully be in the moment and enjoy it," she said of the album.

"There were so many singles, so many videos, and so much work involved that I didn’t really take it all in. Now, looking back, I’m experiencing certain things for the first time. I’m being reminded of things that I may not have been able to take in at that moment," Twain added.
