I was just getting this bloat that I didn’t understand.'I wasn’t eating enough salt, I wasn’t retaining any water, and I wasn’t drinking enough water. It was just this perfect storm for disaster, and I ripped these muscles.'Twain’s difficult physical and emotional crisis stemmed from changes caused by menopause.In the years since, the singer has learned to accept menopause and let go of trying to control her changing body.'It is well-being first, always, to becoming an older woman and now looking in the mirror, no problem.

I’m not trying to be 25, and I won’t be ever again. That’s my own fault for not looking in the mirror when I was younger, and shame on me. I encourage everybody: enjoy yourself the way you are right now and love it,' she explained.'Vanity is not worth torture. I’m just learning every phase that I go through, and I adapt.

My wrist started to go because I planted so many trees in my youth, and I’ve got this big carpal lump. The first thing to go for me in tennis was my backhand. So I’m like, "It’s time to take on the double-handed backhand." And it’s more wicked than my one-handed backhand!'Twain has faced criticism regarding her appearance and outfit choices online.Most recently, she sparked online debate after a TikTok clip from her June 26 performance at London’s Wembley Stadium went viral.She was singing her 1999 hit Man!
