Shania Twain and Wynonna Judd are both country music superstars. They’ve become close friends over the last few years but it wasn’t always this way. They discovered that they had a lot in common, including their childhoods.
Shania opened up about their friendship during the recent ACM Honors. She said, “Wynonna and I have become friends over time and not over music. Obviously in our prime charting years we would pass in the hallways, but we never met or engaged at all during that time. And now in the last several years we exchange what we’re doing in the garden, how our kids are doing, and just our love and admiration for each other as human beings. She is a powerful force and a beautiful friend.”

Shania continued, “It is the sweetest and we find happiness in the simple things. We have a lot in common in our childhood, music history and growing up with music. Our mothers being so involved with our music and so we just have more in common than we’d ever imagined while we were in our prime of chart-topping music.”

They also have another thing in common, being such great storytellers. Shania recently received the ACM Poet’s Award which goes to those who have “outstanding and longstanding and/or lyrical contributions.”
She said she was honored to receive the award because to her, being a great songwriter and storyteller is the greatest accomplishment. Congrats, Shania!
