Transcription

Background

In 1993, Twain released her eponymous debut studio album, which caught the attention of record producer Robert John "Mutt" Lange. The two collaborated on songwriting via phone calls for six months, and later established a romantic relationship. Soon after, they wedded in December 1993[2] and Twain's second studio album The Woman in Me (1995) established Twain as a superstar, selling over 12 million copies in the United States.[3] Twain and Lange continued to collaborate on her subsequent albums Come on Over (1997) and Up! (2002); the prior went on to sell over 40 million copies worldwide[4] and became the best-selling album by a female artist.[3] After selling a total of over 75 million records worldwide, making her the top-selling female artist in country music history,[5] Twain decided to take a musical hiatus in 2005.[3] In 2008, it was announced that after 14 years of marriage, Twain and Lange were in the process of divorcing.[2] The singer later said she had discovered her husband's infidelity with her best friend Marie Anne Thiebaud, although Lange and Thiebaud have never admitted to it.[6] The divorce was finalized on June 9, 2010.[7]

According to Twain, she became depressed and lost her desire to live following the divorce.[8] As a distraction from it, Twain commenced to write her memoir From This Moment On (titled after the 1998 song of the same name). She then began to re-evaluate her life and noted a pattern of attempting to withhold emotions, which affected her voice (for both speaking and singing).[9] She explained the loss of her voice was attributed to a cumulative stress that began with domestic violence in her childhood,[6] continued with the death of her parents and the stress from her musical career,[4] and finally exploded with the divorce.[10] As a result, the singer developed dysphonia, an impairment in the ability to produce voice sounds using the vocal organs as a result of tightened muscles enveloping her voice box.[8] In order to recover her voice and heal wounds caused by the divorce, Twain embarked on a documented journey with the series Why Not? with Shania Twain.[6] The goal was executed via Twain performing acts out her comfort zone to once again be able to perform, while inspiring viewers to be proactive about their dilemmas.[10]

Twain wrote the song "Today Is Your Day" for self-inspiration, during the development of Why Not? with Shania Twain. The song premiered on OWN: Oprah Winfrey Network on June 12, 2011, immediately after the broadcast premiere of Why Not? with Shania Twain's final episode, "Endless Love".[5] Subsequently, on the same night, "Today Is Your Day" was released to country radio and digital retailers in Canada and the United States, with an international release the next day. It became her first song release since "Shoes" (2005) from the Desperate Housewives soundtrack,[11] and her first solo-written song released since "Leaving Is the Only Way Out" from The Woman in Me (1995).[12]

Development

Besides getting back onstage in the first place, I'm just looking forward to contact with the fans again. Being able to connect directly with the fans during the show has always been a pleasure, and that's probably what I'm looking forward to the most, above and beyond the live show itself

—Twain[13]

Having last performed live in July 2004 during her Up! Tour, Twain announced the Vegas residency on June 8, 2011. During a press conference announcing the show, she said that she will "let [her] imagination run wild" and that she is "going to go nuts creatively" for the show. She revealed that: "It's been a healing year, I've learned how to commit myself and put that into healing, instead of fear and anxiety, which is a big turnaround".[14]

The show was created by Twain, produced by AEG Live and directed by Raj Kapoor.[1] The purpose of the show is to "take fans on a spectacular journey through the various stages of Shania's life and career in an unforgettable evening filled with music, multi-sensory and visual experiences, fashion and the unexpected".[1] Kapoor revealed that: "Shania wants her fans to share her spirit and passion in 4D and this show will capture the essence, soul and inspirations of Shania and her timeless music and lyrics brought to life with extraordinary beauty and powerfully intense visuals. Shania's creative world will be an immersive fusion of music, fantasy, spectacle and the fragile beauty of nature all brought together in a night of unforgettable entertainment."[1]

Of getting over her vocal dysphonia, Twain told Las Vegas Weekly: "I am being very conscientious. I take a lot of steam showers, and [former Colosseum headliner] Bette Midler has recommended some [throat] sprays. Everybody has given me their little tips, and I'm just being very careful. I take good care of myself."[15]

Commercial response

The show became a box office hit grossing over $43 million from a total of 346,021 sold tickets during the two-year run.[16]
