After the incident, Shania paused her career to take care of her younger siblings.
Music career

The singer eventually moved to Toronto, where she continued to sing in clubs and was noticed by American country producer Norro Wilson. Shania traveled to Nashville, Tennessee, where she recorded her debut self-titled album. The singer's second long play titled "The Woman in Me" was released two years later and became a critical and commercial success. Her third studio album "Come On Over" sold over 10 million copies.
Twain was a huge inspiration for many popular musicians, including Avril Lavigne and Harry Styles. The singer also sang duets with Billy Currington, Lionel Richie and Anne Murray.
Shania is currently preparing for her upcoming Queen of Me Tour, during which she will perform in 76 cities in North America and Europe.
