Shania Twain Reflects on ‘Grief’ of Mutt Lange Divorce amid ‘Scary’ Lyme Disease in Netflix Documentary

Shania Twain is opening up about one the darkest periods of her life — during which she struggled with both a divorce and the effects of a Lyme disease diagnosis — in a new, career-spanning documentary.

The “You’re Still the One” singer, 56, spoke candidly about both the end of her marriage to her producer, songwriting partner and husband Robert “Mutt” Lange, as well as the health woes she feared might end her career in the Netflix documentary Not Just a Girl, which premiered on Tuesday.

Not Just a Girl chronicles Twain’s ascent from small-town Canadian performer to global superstar, and the film includes her reflection on her first time meeting Lange, whom she went on to marry in 1993.

“I don’t know who this person is. I don’t know his success yet. I just know that his name is Mutt Lange,” she recalled of hearing the rock producer wanted to work with her. “I didn’t want to be too forward [after meeting], but in my mind, I’m saying, ‘Oh wow, if this guy made my music sound like that, that would be the dream.’ Like, whoa.”

Eventually, they developed a successful partnership. With Lange on board as producer, Twain released the hit 1995 album The Woman in Me (featuring “Any Man of Mine”) and its follow-up Come on Over two years later, the latter of which spawned hits including “You’re Still the One,” “That Don’t Impress Me Much” and “Man! I Feel Like a Woman!” and went on to become the best-selling album of all time by a female solo artist.

By 2003, she’d also released Up! (featuring “I’m Gonna Getcha Good!”) and was touring to promote the record when the course of her career was changed by a tick bite she got while horseback riding.

“The tick was infected with Lyme disease, and I did get Lyme disease,” she said. “My symptoms were quite scary because before I was diagnosed, I was on stage very dizzy. I was losing my balance, I was afraid I was gonna fall off the stage… I was having these very, very, very millisecond blackouts, but regularly, every minute or every 30 seconds.” – Source
