Shania Twain Has Been Dropping F-Bombs

Shania Twain has something on her new album Queen of Me that has never been on a Shania Twain album before: a parental advisory for explicit content. One song on the album, "Pretty Lair," features the f-bomb in the chorus.

The song about a lying partner sings in the chorus, "'Cause your pants are on fire (your pants are on fire) You're such a f---ing liar (such a f---ing liar) / (Liar) Another level higher, your pants are on fire / Lie, lie, lie, la-lie / Lie, lie, lie, la-lie / Lie, lie, lie, la-lie."

While appearing on The Late Late Show with James Corden on CBS, Corden pointed out the sticker on the album cover. He said, "I was shocked to see there is a... which I never thought I'd seen a Shania Twain album, a parental advisory for explicit content, which is a first for you; what's this about?" Shania responds, "I'm not really sure what the f--- you mean by that." The audience roars with laughter, and Corden says, "I love it and then starts to sing one of Twain's big hits singing 'Still the one I f---ing run to." She says, 'Okay, that could be a really fun version." He inserts the f-bomb into a few more of her songs and says, "Now you have to go through your whole back catalog inserting F-bombs all over it." James says, 'Shania F---ing Twain" and she laughs, "Yeah, I like that one."

Corden also asked her about creating the Queen of Me album, and she noted, "This is my celebration album. I am celebrating happiness and joy and taking control of your own mood and your own spirit. I wrote the album during COVID, and it was just such a hectic time for all of us, but I said, 'Okay, write some songs right now that change your frame of mind. Write songs that make you want to dance and songs that make you happy and want to celebrate. Take charge of your own mood."

Shania Twain has shared her love of the leopard skin pattern throughout her career. As she releases her new album Queen Of Me today (2/3), she is offering fans two special leopard skin-colored vinyl albums. You can order one here.

Twain first expressed her love for the leopard skin look in her 1997 music video for "That Don't Impress Me Much." In the video, she sang and danced around in a leopard skin cape, top, pants gloves, and even a leopard skin suitcase. The song became her third biggest single on the Billboard Hot 100 and remained one of Twain's biggest hits worldwide. The whole video concept and look was her idea.

Shania recently talked about her love of and the power of all things leopard print with Elle magazine. She said, "Some people say 'white is my neutral' or 'black is my neutral.' For me, leopard print is my neutral. When I first started shooting music videos at the very beginning of my career, I would gravitate to all the leopard print options on the rack during the styling process. I just felt like it was the no-fail neutral that I could wear with anything." She added, "You can dress it up, you can dress it down. It is a staple print because you can put leopard on velvet or chiffon or sheer, or silk. Anything. It's hyper-flexible."

Twain even talked about the famous outfit from the "That Don't Impress Me Much" video. She said, "I fell in love with the way it moved. When you're running around and dancing and jumping and doing quick changes, your outfit has got to be durable. I never want to feel restricted when I'm performing. So it starts with comfort. It always does with me. Whatever I'm going to wear on stage, it has to be comfortable."

As we celebrate all things Shania as she releases the Queen of Me album to the masses, we look at some of her leopard skin looks over the years.
