Nashville Hated Me, Says Shania Twain

Shania Twain upset the Nashville country music elite with her mega-selling tunes - because they thought she was murdering the music.

The Canadian singer - whose 1997 album Come on Over has sold 34 million copies worldwide - found starting out tough because country purists didn't get her pop sound.

Shania says, "My naivety helped me more than anything. My first album, Shania Twain, was very controversial

"People thought I was ruining country - they'll always believe that."
