So It Turns Out Shania Twain Is “Very Impressed” By Brad Pitt & My Life Is A Fucking Lie

There are few things we know for certain in this world, but until today I was absolutely sure that Shania Twain was not very impressed by Brad Pitt. But it turns out even that is a lie because she’s recently confirmed that she is in fact “very impressed” by him.

In her 1998 hit song That Don’t Impress Me Much, Twain rattled off a laundry list of things and people that don’t impress her very much. The Canadian singer-songwriter was not impressed by rocket scientists, car owners, and most importantly, Brad Pitt.

It was an iconic line in the song, but according to her recent interview with Stellar Magazine, Twain seems to have had a change of heart over the past 22 years.

A meme circulated in late 2019, which pointed out that Brad Pitt played a buggy-driving rocket scientist in his recent film Ad Astra. Any Shania Twain could tell you that those three things do not impress her very much. Or so we thought.

“I think it’s awesome; I like to write with a sense of humour. I didn’t realize it would go this far or be memorable. I’m thrilled that reference has lasted the test of time,” she told the magazine.

Twain added that she’s “very impressed by Brad’s wonderful career. He’s been getting some great accolades recently, so I’m very proud of Brad. I hope he takes it with the sense of humour that was intended.”

Throughout the interview, she also revealed the true meaning behind the now-iconic line.

“I remember I had a girlfriend visiting me and it was near Christmas and we were baking cookies. I was writing this album and there was a scandal of [Pitt] and Gwyneth [Paltrow] where there was naked photos of him [in Playgirl magazine, which Pitt later successfully sued for publishing the paparazzi photos]. And this was like all the rage. I just thought ‘I don’t know what all the fuss is about.’ I’m like, well that don’t impress me much, I mean what is all the fuss. We see people naked every day. That’s really what I thought. I wasn’t picking on Brad Pitt. But that was just the association in that moment and things we make fusses about and whatever. Of course, it could have been any gorgeous guy.”
