SHANIA TWAIN THE SAGA LIKE A KOREAN DRAMA–WHERE SHANIA GREW FROM RAGS TO RICHES TO BECOME THE RENOWNED COUNTRY SINGER TO HER BEST FRIEND MARIE ANNE TAKING IT ON WITH HER HUSBAND MUTT LANGE AND RUNNING AWAY TO MARRY AND SHANIA SWITCHES TO HER BEST FRIEND MARIE ANNE HUSBAND FREDERIC THIEBAUD A NESTLE EXECUTIVE TO MARRY IN 2011–TO HER LOSS OF THAT PRECIOUS COUNTRY VOICE DUE TO AN ILLNESS NOT ABLE TO PERFORM ANY LONGER

AS SHANIA Twain embarks on her farewell tour, it’s hard not to think of her life as one long country song.

There’s the grinding poverty of her rural Canadian childhood; her loss, at 22, of both parents in a car crash; the illness that silenced her singing voice; and the betrayal that broke her heart — when her husband/manager ran off with her best friend.

“When that happened, I thought, ‘Forget it, this is more than I can handle — I’m never going to sing again,’” Twain tells The New York Post of that scandalous 2008 affair between Robert “Mutt” Lange and Marie-Anne Thiébaud. “I had to grieve through it.”

As she revealed in “From This Moment On,” her 2011 page turner of a memoir, there’s nothing like being stabbed in the back to make you lose face — even if that face has been called “perfectly proportioned,” and you’ve sold 75 million albums.

But the writer of the feminist-inflected country-pop anthems “That Don’t Impress Me Much” and “(If You’re Not in It for Love) I’m Outta Here!” wasn’t down for long.

For one thing, she fell in love — with Marie-Anne’s ex, Swiss-born Nestlé exec Frédéric Thiébaud, whom she married in 2011. For another, she had a son to bring up — Eja, now 13. It’s for Eja’s sake, she says, that her relations with her ex are cordial.
