Shania Twain named into Canadian Music Hall of Fame

Newlywed Shania Twain has one more reason to smile — the Timmins, Ont., native has been proclaimed as the 2011 inductee to the Canadian Music Hall of Fame.

The 12-time Juno Award winner will be privileged during this year’s award telecast in Toronto on March 27, marking her first return to the Junos since hosting the 2003 bash in Ottawa.

Twain married Swiss businessman Frederic Thiebaud on New Year’s Day in Rincon, Puerto Rico in face of 40 family members and friends.

The 45-year-old Twain is getting ready to launch a TV show on Oprah Winfrey’s cable channel, OWN, called “Why Not? With Shania Twain,” and has plans to issue a memoir.

With over 80 million albums sold worldwide, the five-time Grammy-winning Twain places among the best-selling artists of all time.

The 40th Juno Awards ceremony will be hosted by 24-year-old Toronto rapper Drake. Nominations will be announced on Feb. 1.

“Shania Twain revolutionized the look and sound of country music, and truly is one of the most accomplished and famous music artists of her era,” said Melanie Berry, president and CEO of Junos organizer the Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences, in a statement.

“Her authenticity as a songwriter and performer has made her a global basis of power, and we’re so proud to honour her at home in the Canadian Music Hall of Fame.”
