In July, Netflix released Shania Twain: Not Just a Girl, a documentary following the life of one of Canada’s finest musical exports. In it, Shania speaks candidly about her abusive upbringing, the sexism she experienced in the country-music industry, living with Lyme disease, and also her divorce. Which is a great opportunity to revisit the absolutely bonkers saga that is Shania Twain’s divorce. Have you heard about it? Basically, it involves Shania and her best friend swapping husbands. If you’re confused, same. Here’s everything Shania has said about the situation (which, thankfully, has a happy ending).
In 1993, Shania Twain met a famous South African rock producer named Robert John Lange, more commonly known as Mutt, who’s worked with all walks of rock and pop stars, including Celine Dion, Britney Spears, and Lady Gaga. (Sorry, but I don’t know what inspired his nickname.)
