How do you keep performing after losing your voice?

Country music icon Shania Twain joins Romesh to talk about her most personal album yet, Little Miss Twain, the vocal surgery that saved her career and why she's embraced singing with a completely different voice.

We discuss everything from early beginnings and singing in bars as a kid, to breaking into Nashville, writing hit songs and becoming a pop star. Plus we get into performing live at Coachella and her upcoming Wembley residency as Harry Styles' special guest.

Shania reflects on her personal life struggles, from Lyme disease to losing her mother and how it's shaped her and her remarkable career.

Expect as usual, an all-important Shanthi question, a game of Misquoted, and Shania shares the best advice she's ever received.

A Ranga Bee Production in partnership with Platform.
