Where Shania Twain Stands With Brad Pitt Today After Shading Him In Her Hit '90s Song
Olivia Owen Back in August 2017, Shania Twain revealed the reason why she references Brad Pitt in her song, "That Don't Impress Me Much," telling Billboard that when she was writing the anthem, Pitt's name happened to be in the headlines. "I was writing this album and there was a scandal of [Pitt] and Gwyneth [Paltrow] where there was naked photos of him [in Playgirl]," the singer recalled. She simply didn't understand the "fuss" about it at the time, noting, "We see naked people every day." Twain confirmed to Billboard, "I wasn't picking on Brad Pitt." His name was just on her mind at the time, so she used it.
The country queen and the A-list actor have actually still yet to meet, even after all these years. During a March 2023 episode of the YouTube series "Chicken Shop Date," Twain told host Amelia Dimoldenberg, "I wrote about Brad Pitt. I never met Brad Pitt." She joked, "I think he's avoiding me — honestly."
