Both multi-platinum selling recording artists, both energetic stage performers and both Country-pop crossovers, Shania Twain and Taylor Swift have much in common, amd Swift recognizes Twain as her biggest female influence on her career.

Swift told The Canadian Press, "I loved watching her when she was touring and when she put out Come On Over, but when I really gained respect was seeing her go away and seeing how she never left people's minds."

Since Twain's break from Country Music in 1999, no one has forgotten about her. Fans as well as fellow artists are always asking when she will put out a new album, and the answer might be coming soon.

In early June, Twain posted a letter to her fans describing the emotional rollercoaster she has been on over the past year since her divorce from her husband of 14 years. She said she is using songwriting as a coping method and promised fans that she will come out with another album in the near future.
