It puts a satisfying spin on the vigor and flash of something like “Man! I Feel Like a Woman,” a song that is still rightly upheld for its feminist shorthand swagger, but deserves to live in the real world, too.

"I was always very bold and straightforward about what I thought and my point of view on things as a woman particularly. "To me, Shania Twain is a superstar that I had the privilege of singing with onstage when I was 14 years old.
