If you've followed Shania's journey over the past two decades, you know it hasn’t been easy. Back in 2003, during what should’ve been just another routine horseback ride, she was bitten by a tick. That tiny bite would lead to a Lyme disease diagnosis that changed the course of her career—and her life. For years, she struggled with symptoms that baffled doctors and terrified her. She would get dizzy on stage, have blackouts every few seconds, and worst of all, she started losing her voice. Imagine that—one of the most powerful voices in music, silenced by a disease most people barely understand.
In her Netflix documentary Not Just a Girl , she talks about those frightening days. At one point, she couldn’t even call her dog because her voice would just cut out. For seven years, she searched for answers, eventually learning that Lyme disease had caused nerve damage to her vocal cords. The very tool of her artistry—her voice—was nearly gone.
And yet, here we are in 2025, and Shania is back. Not just back—she's thriving. She’s embraced her “new” voice with power and grace, and honestly, that makes her music even more meaningful now. It’s raw, it’s real, and it tells a story of resilience. She’s not trying to hide the changes. In fact, she owns them. She’s said herself: “I have a different voice now, but I own it. I love my voice now.”
That kind of honesty, paired with her relentless passion, is what makes this upcoming show at SPAC more than just a concert. It’s a celebration. It’s a victory lap. It’s living proof that even when life throws something at you that could end your career, or shake your identity to the core—you can come back stronger.
So whether you’ve been a fan since the '90s or you’re just discovering her through social media or streaming platforms, trust me, this is a performance you won’t want to miss. Shania Twain has always been a powerhouse, but now? She’s a warrior. And on July 20, she’s going to light up that SPAC stage like only she can.
