Shania Twain proves yet again that she is still the one.

The Grammy-winning country legend, who broke boundaries for the genre on the pop charts with her albums ‘The Woman in Me’ and ‘Come On Over’ (the best selling album by a female in history), took an unexpected 15-year break after her mega-selling 2002 album,’Up,’ gave her the distinction of being the only female artist in history to release three consecutive diamond-selling albums.
