Shania Twain spotlighted “the women who inspired me,” in celebration of International Women’s Day on Sunday (March 8).

Twain posted clips of music legends on Instagram, and wrote in her caption: “Celebrating Women today and every day! These are the women who inspired me when I was a little kid playing those local dive bars 🤩 Tammy Wynette, Tanya Tucker, Billie Jo Spears, Dolly Parton, Karen Carpenter, Minnie Riperton and Mary Bailey… the lyrics were everything!” Many of the commenters applauded Twain’s “beautiful post,” haled her “a living LEGEND,” and joined her in celebrating International Women’s Day.

Twain has blazed her own trails and inspired other artists throughout her career (including Kelsea Ballerini, Tenille Townes, Carly Pearce, Lindsay Ell, Taylor Swift and many others). The global country-pop icon released her debut studio record in the early 1990s, and since then, she’s become known for “You’re Still The One,” “Any Man Of Mine,” “Man! I Feel Like A Woman!,” “That Don’t Impress Me Much,” “Whose Bed Have Your Boots Been Under?,” “Honey, I’m Home,” and more. Twain's empowering anthems have become staples in the genre, along with many other unforgettable hits by female artists. See Twain's post celebrating International Women's Day here:
