Whilst at school, Shania was the singer for a local band named Longshot, who performed covers.

And this was like all the rage. I just thought 'I don't know what all the fuss is about.' I'm like, well that don't impress me much, I mean what is all the fuss. We see people naked every day. That's really what I thought. I wasn't picking on Brad Pitt. But that was just the association in that moment and things we make fusses about and whatever.

It's pretty darn fun to be a woman."
