<p>Shania tells<em> First for Women</em> that she chooses to focus on her triumphs.<strong> “I’m feeling really good,” </strong>she tells <em>First</em>.<strong> “I’m feeling like I’ve achieved an enormous amount in the last couple of years.” </strong></p>

<p>Indeed, in addition to releasing her first studio album in 15 years, she also made her acting debut in the new film <em>Trading Paint, </em>out June 1. Releasing a new album was a special accomplishment for her — after complications from Lyme disease left her vocal cords damaged, Shania worried she might never record another album.</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p><strong>“I had gone through so many scary times with my voice and getting my voice back,”</strong> she admits to <em>First</em>. <strong>“I wondered if I would ever be able to record an album again and put a permanent stamp on a body of work. I was petrified about diving into the album and taking on the challenge.”</strong></p>
<p> ;</p>
<p>But Shania refused to let fear hold her back.<strong> “I felt, personally, I needed to do it and rediscover a lot of things about myself,”</strong> she tells the mag. <strong>“Once I dove in, the confidence started to build from that point on.&#8221;</strong></p>
<p>Shania’s hard work paid off: Her album <em>Now </em>debuted to critical acclaim, and she’s thrilled to get to share it with her fans on tour. <strong>“I’m looking forward to this tour like no other,” she tells <em>First</em>. “Being able to take this music live to everyone is surreal for me.”</strong></p>
