‘I haven’t laughed that much in ages’
As the country-pop star does the rounds to promote her new LP, Queen of Me, the songtress has been trying out new looks. First, she traded her flowing brunette locks to rock a pastel pink dye job while attending the 2022 People’s Choice Awards in December.
Now the 57-year-old Canadian native is seeing if blonds have more fun.

Twain was spotted at her record release party in Los Angeles this week looking completely unrecognizable with her new platinum blond hairdo.
The Grammy winner also showed up for an appearance on The Late Late Show With James Corden, who quizzed her about why her new album has a parental advisory sticker on the front. “I’m not really sure what the f— you mean by that?” she jokingly responded.

But her new look got a lukewarm response from fans on social media.
“Anyone else think she’s trying to look like a Kardashian?” one person asked, while another quipped, “A blonde? ‘That don’t impress me much.’”

Twain has been outspoken about still wanting to look sexy as she gets older. For a photo shoot for the new album, the Juno winner posed nude.
“I styled that photograph myself. It was all about taking off the bra, taking off the shirt, tying the shirt around my waist,” Twain told the U.K. Sun.

“This is a statement of being comfortable in my own skin and just being really myself.”
When asked about the criticism older female musicians like Madonna get when they decide to pose in risque outfits, Twain clapped back: “You have to be strong. I never get angry with criticism. You can’t please everybody — that’s normal.”
“I am a woman in my late 50s, and I don’t need to hide behind the clothes. I can’t even tell you how good it felt to do nude shooting,” she told PEOPLE in a separate conversation. “I was just so unashamed of my new body, you know, as a woman that is well into my menopause. I’m not even emotional about it; I just feel OK about it.”
“You have to embrace aging because you can’t change it. Why fight it?” she said at the time. “Aging comes down to attitude and how you look at it. I have so many other things to do. I’ve scripts to read, horses to ride, songs to sing, I’ve got a beautiful family. I’ve let go of worrying about aging.”
Twain will embark on a global tour in support of Queen of Me later this spring, with two Toronto dates booked at Budweiser Stage in June and a third show slated for Scotiabank Arena in October.
