* TakeThat: Averted with Creator/BradPitt in "That Don't Impress Me Much". Although the song says "Ok, so you're Brad Pitt, that don't impress me much", Shania later clarified that she was not trying to insult Pitt with that particular line and was using his name as an example of a man generally considered handsome in the eyes of the public.

* ExcitedShowTitle: Several of her song titles have exclamation marks: "(If You're Not in It for Love) I'm Outta Here!", "Man! I Feel Like a Woman!", "I'm Gonna Getcha Good!", "Up!", "Ka-Ching!" (those latter three were released consecutively), "Thank You Baby! (For Makin' Someday Come So Soon)", "Waiter! Bring Me Water!" and "Whatever You Do! Don't!"

!!Tropes present:

* DreamTeam: Got into singing again with "White Christmas" with Music/MichaelBuble on his Christmas album.

* BareYourMidriff: One of her trademarks, especially during her initial rise to fame during the ''Woman in Me'' period.

* RefrainFromAssuming: "Love Gets Me Every Time" was originally titled "[[GoshDangItToHeck Gol Darn Gone and Done It]]," but changed because Twain thought that the original title would be too difficult for disc jockeys to say. The latter phrase is more prominent in the chorus, furthering the confusion.

* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: In-universe example with "(If You're Not in It for Love) I'm Outta Here!", which ends with her sighing, stomping away, and slamming the door.

* MohsScaleOfLyricalHardness: The vast majority of her pre-''Now'' work are in the 1 to 3 range, dealing mainly with love and successful relationships. Exceptions include "Ka-Ching" (5 due to its anti-commerical message), "It Only Hurts When I’m Breathing" (6 due to a relationship breakup) and "Black Eyes, Blue Tears" (pushes 7-8, the protagonist in the song is explicitly escaping an ''abusive'' relationship). Her post-divorce album ''Now'' is also much gloomier averaging around 3-5.
* MohsScaleOfRockAndMetalHardness: Spans 1 ("You've Got a Way", "When You Kiss Me") to 4 ("Black Eyes, Blue Tears", "In My Car (I'll Be the Driver)"), her work with Lange (who produced for Music/{{ACDC}} and Music/DefLeppard) allowed for harder rock influences in her work compared to other popular female artists at the time.

* StudioChatter: At the end of "No One Needs to Know", one voice says "There's your record, hoss!" and another adds, "Yep, there you go, dude."

* ExcitedShowTitle: Several of her song titles have exclamation marks: "(If You're Not in It for Love) I'm Outta Here!", "Man! I Feel Like a Woman!", "I'm Gonna Getcha Good!", "Up!", "Ka-Ching!" (those latter three were released consecutively), "Thank You Baby! (For Makin' Someday Come So Soon)" and "Whatever You Do! Don't!"

* LyricsVideoMismatch: "I'm Gonna Getcha Good!"

* YourCheatingHeart: "Whose Bed Have Your Boots Been Under?" is pretty self explanatory.

Eileen Regina Edwards Twain Thiébaud, professionally known as Shania Twain [[UsefulNotes/KnightFever OC]] (born August 28, 1965) is a prominent Canadian CountryMusic singer known for her slick, hooky, crossover-friendly music and longtime marriage to RecordProducer Creator/RobertJohnMuttLange.

** Interestingly, "Today Is Your Day" suggested a move back into the mainstream.

* LyricalColdOpen: "Whose Bed Have Your Boots Been Under?"

* ShoutOut / {{Parody}}: Her music video for "Man! I Feel Like a Woman!" is practically a [[GenderFlip gender inverted]] version of Robert Palmer's "Addicted to Love" (while playing MaleBandFemaleSinger straight).

* MohsScaleOfLyricalHardness: The vast majority of her pre-''Now'' work are in the 1 to 3 range, dealing mainly with love and successful relationships. Exceptions include "Ka-Ching" (5 due to it's anti-commerical message), "It Only Hurts When I’m Breathing" (6 due to a relationship breakup) and "Black Eyes, Blue Tears" (pushes 7-8, the protagonist in the song is explicitly escaping an ''abusive'' relationship). Her post-divorce album ''Now'' is also much gloomier averaging around 3-5.
* MohsScaleOfRockAndMetalHardness: Spans 1 ("You've Got A Way", "When You Kiss Me") to 4 ("Black Eyes, Blue Tears","In My Car (I'll Be the Driver)"), her work with Lange (who produced for Music/{{ACDC}} and Music/DefLeppard) allowed for harder rock influences in her work compared to other popular female artists at the time.

* VocalEvolution: She sounds noticeably strained on the new songs off her GreatestHitsAlbum. According to various sources, this was due to stress in her personal life which culminated in dysphonia, a loss of vocal cord functionality. She had to undergo therapy to relearn how to sing, and returned with a significantly deeper delivery on "Today Is Your Day" and later ''Now''.

** Also, the "UK Dance Mix" of "That Don't Impress Me Much" has a different, more rhythmic guitar riff in it than the original does. This version became the hit version in the UK and elsewhere, [[EclipsedByTheRemix and many fans had no idea it was a remix]]. The radio occasionally played the original by mistake, though the YouTube music video uses the original.
** The pop mix of "From This Moment On" was changed from a duet with Bryan White to a solo song, due to White not being as well-known outside the country music community. Similarly, Billy Currington was replaced with [[Music/SugarRay Mark McGrath]] for the pop mix of "Party for Two".
