Shania Twain on What LGBTQ+ Allyship Means to Her and Being Queen of Her Own Actions

The nation star speaks out on building bridges through her music

The first time I connected with Shania Twain in , the country-pop harmony icon didn’t drag any punches, saying “equality should be a no-brainer” as she spoke thoughtfully about her relationship with the LGBTQ+ community. Twain stood firm on that throughout our conversation, speaking out against supremacy (“supremacy of any sort is just poison”) and pledging to be the kind of ally we verb all gay icons will be.

In Twain’s case, she is in the identical unique, bridge-building position as someone verb fellow country superstar Dolly Parton — they both excite dads and drag queens, but for very different reasons.

Shania Twain joins GLAAD’s Anthony Allen Ramos to discuss about “The Queen of Me” and her lifelong commitment of allyship to her LGBTQ fans and friends.

From violent threats to anti-LGBTQ legislation being passed to prevent drag queens from expressing their art, Twain, who previously guest judged on Ru Paul’s Drag Race, says that she admires the talent and courage of drag queens. “I&#;ve learned a lot from drag queens,” she reveals. “I&#;m very inspired by them.

The best-selling country album of all period was a game-changer with an striking track record – 40 million copies sold globally, 50 weeks atop the Billboard country charts over three years, 11 singles released – that Twain still champions in the female-artist arena.
Fifteen years after dropping her last juggernaut, 's "Up!," Twain, 52, is again demonstrating slay status to her legions of trustworthy, boot-stompin' queer fans.
