Shania Twain just released her new music video for her song "Giddy Up." It is being dubbed as a dance video, and that's just what it is, full of people from all walks of life dancing to the happy tune. 

Shania does have a role in a video as an auto mechanic, although it is a small one. She posted a video clip of herself tinkering under the hood on Instagram. She captioned it, "I have no idea what I'm doing."

The clip was liked over 25 thousand times, with one fan writing, "But you look great doing it!!!"

Twain also posted a video clip of her appearance on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert talking about her new album out in February. She wrote, "At the heart of it, Queen Of Me is a very celebratory album. I can't wait for you to hear it - not long now!! I'm counting down the seconds to February 3rd!!." 

Many fans reacted to that post, including one from Nashville, who commented, "I CANT WAIT! This album is going to be so different, and I'm here for it! Every song just filled with Positivity and Joy. See you in Nashville." Another fan said, "She almost sounds like she's going to cry... She's telling him how much she needs to fight to cheer up and be strong, confident, and happy." One more fan observed, "Great Interview." 

In October, Shania announced the new album and a World Tour for 2023.

Shania changed the face of country music in the late 1990s and her influence is still felt today as many country superstars like Kelsea Ballerini, Carly Pearce, Taylor Swift, and more cite her as a major influence.

To celebrate all things, Shania, we're counting down her 13 finest songs that we just can't get out of our heads.

13. "Endless Love" (Lionel Richie featuring Shania Twain) – 2012

Lionel_Richie_-_Tuskegee.pngUMG

This is a remake but done so nicely by Twain and Richie who recorded it at Shania’s home in the Bahamas. Lionel Richie told me in an interview later that she was the hardest person to pin down when he decided to record his country collaboration album, Tuskegee.  He also said that he was so happy with the final result of the duet.


12. "Whose Bed Have Your Boots Been Under?" – 1995

Whose_Bed_Have_Your_Boots_Been_Under.jpgIMG

Really the song that started it all for Shania who splashed onto the scene like a hurricane in 1995. Still a solid song to this day.  Shania never misses a chance to sing this now classic in her concerts.


11. "The Woman in Me (Needs the Man in You)” – 1995

The_Woman_in_Me_Needs_the_Man_in_You.jpgUMG

This is another song Shania wrote with her then-husband and producer Robert “Mutt” Lange. It was her third number-one single on country radio.  The music video for "The Woman in Me" was shot in Cairo and Saqqara, Egypt. It was filmed during the first week of July 1995 and released on August 9, 1995 on CMT. In the video, Twain is riding around on a horse through the desert by the pyramids and riding a boat down the Nile River.


10. "(If You're Not in It for Love) I'm Outta Here!" - 1995

If_Youre_Not_in_It_for_Love_Im_Outta_Here.jpgUMG

Her fourth number one song and the first single promoted with several different mixes.  "I'm Outta Here!" was later included on Twain's 2004 Greatest Hits package, and has been performed on all of her tours.


9. "God Bless the Child" – 1996

God_Bless_the_Child_Shania_Twain_song.jpgUMG

A touching song that showed Shania’s softer side. Her eighth single from her ‘Woman In Me’ album, the video features two choirs. One included the Fisk University Jubilee Singers, and the second was a local performing arts choirs singing along with Twain in a hangar at the Nashville airport.


8. "Love Gets Me Every Time" – 1997

Love_Gets_Me_Every_Time.jpgUMG

The lead single from Twain's third studio album "Come On Over."Twain developed the song at first and brought it to Lange under the title, "'Gol Darn Gone and Done It", which derived from a country expression. The name made Lange burst into laughter when he first heard it, and the couple completed the song together.


7. "Any Man of Mine" – 1995

Shania_Twain_-_Any_Man_of_Mine.pngUMG

This song was nominated for both Best Country Song and Best Female Country Vocal Performance at the 1996 Grammy Awards. It won Single of the Year at the Canadian Country Music Awards.


6. "Honey, I'm Home" – 1998

Shania_Twain_-_Honey_Im_Home.jpgUMG

This one is freaking catchy. I’ve been singing it since I started this list. Is it fair to say the lyrics are super simple? Well, they are, and maybe that’s what appeals to me. The song became Shania's seventh, and to date, her final number-one single on the Billboard Country singles chart. 


5. "That Don't Impress Me Much" – 1998

Shania_Twain_-_That_Dont_Impress_Me_Much.jpgUMG

Any song that mentions that Brad Pitt doesn’t “impress me much” is a winner for me. Yeah, I love Pitt, but this song has it all, and what a beat.  In 2017, during a listening party for her fifth studio album Now, Twain revealed the reason behind using Brad Pitt's name instead of other male celebrities. She said that after she heard about the scandal between Pitt and Gwyneth Paltrow and the subsequent leaking of Pitt's naked photo in Playgirl magazine, she was left unimpressed by all the fuss as she felt that it was normal to see naked people.


4. "From This Moment On" – 1997

From_This_Moment_On_Shania_Twain_song.jpgUMG

What an emotional love song! This song was written during a soccer game in Italy. “My husband loves sports. I don't know the game that well, so my mind drifted, and I started writing."  Initially, Shania thought that "From This Moment On" would be perfect for singer Celine Dion.


3. "No One Needs to Know" – 1996

No_One_Needs_to_Know.jpgUMG

I have always loved the rhythm and the words of this song. She plays the song live in concert with just a twelve-string guitar. It is featured in the 1996 movie Twister. 


2. "You're Still the One" – 1997

Youre_Still_the_One.pngUMG

So very good. "You're Still the One" was nominated for four Grammy Awards in 1999, winning two. It won Best Country Song and Best Female Country Vocal Performance. Tim McGaw recently called it one of the best love songs ever written.


1."Man! I Feel Like a Woman!" – 1999

Man_I_Feel_Like_a_Woman.jpgUMG

An epic anthem and the song that closes out every one of Shania’s shows. My son wasn’t even born till 2007, almost ten years after the song came out, and well, because of his mom, he knows every word.
