The Canadian singer discussed her upcoming album “Little Miss Twain” during an appearance on CBS Sunday Morning, where she explained how her identity evolved throughout her music career.

After suggesting Shania Twain to her label, the name was approved and became the identity recognized by millions of fans worldwide.
