Shania Twain has insisted her body "is not shameable".

The 60-year-old singer doesn't pay attention to any negative comments she receives about her body and is determined to enjoy "every day for what it is" by embracing getting older.

She told People magazine: "I'm not trying to be 30. 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. Vanity is not worth torture...

"My body is not shameable. That courage comes with time and maturity. Body shaming is nothing that's going to affect me."

The Still the One hitmaker admitted she struggled with the physical changes she experienced when going through menopause, but these days, ultimately, her health and well-being comes first.

She said: "I go from being this young, stunning figure, beautiful skin, everything's in the right place [to a] time in my life where I couldn't look in the mirror because all I could see were imperfections and not wanting to be that curvy thing.

"It is well-being first, always. To becoming an older woman and now looking in the mirror, no problem. I'm like, I just have to get over this because every day that goes by, I'm getting older; the dips and bulges and the sags are just getting more and more prominent."

Shania still stays as active as possible, but has had to adapt to her changing body.

She explained: "I'm just learning every phase that I go through, and I adapt.

"I can't play tennis like a maniac the way I used to in my 30s because I'm going to break my body.

"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!"

The Dirty Rosie singer's attitude to her body and menopause changed in 2019 when she suffered an injury and had to be carried off stage in Las Vegas.

She said: "I ripped two muscles in my thigh, and a lot of it was dehydration because I wasn't really adapted to the Nevada climate.

"I wasn't drinking enough water, I was not eating enough protein, and I was really going through a raging period of menopause. 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."
