Country music icon Shania Twain celebrated her 60th birthday with a candid Instagram post featuring an incredible throwback photo from her early career. The 'That Don't Impress Me Much' singer shared a snap of herself backstage in a dressing room, wearing a shimmering electric blue suit, metallic shoes, and bold dangling earrings. Her brunette hair was styled in wild curls, and she sported bright red lipstick, grinning widely at the camera amid piles of clothes and makeup.
Twain followed this with another stunning photo from later years, showing her in black underwear and a white Oxford shirt with only one button done up. She posed sultrily with one sleeve rolled up, while lyrics from her hit 'Man! I Feel Like A Woman' appeared in the background. In the caption, she wrote: 'Happy birthday to me! How can I be 60? So glad to have kept some photos from this time in the '80s when I had no idea what was ahead of me.'
Fans flooded the comments with birthday wishes, with actress Rita Wilson writing: 'Happy birthday!!!! Here's to many more! Thank you for the music and for being you!!!' Other admirers commented: 'You don't look a day over 30,' and 'Hottest 60-year-old alive.'
Twain recently spoke about her career, telling Us Weekly: 'I was always like, I need to be myself. Any artist's greatest power is originality. I was insecure about lots of things, but I had conviction.' She added: 'There is no other me. That's my biggest power.' The best-selling female country artist of all time, with five Grammy Awards and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, said she feels better than ever at 60, stating: 'I feel like I've got this pass all of a sudden to care more about myself.'
