Shania Twain shared a heart-to-heart talk with Drew Barrymore on the season premiere of The Drew Barrymore Show. In one of the clips shared to Instagram on Monday (October 16), the global country-pop megastar and the beloved, award-winning actress spoke candidly about the courage to trust in relationships.
Seated cross-legged and facing one another, Barrymore asked Twain whether she’s proud of herself for being a trusting person. Twain admitted she feels that she’s “still too trusting. …I still get burned all the time. But I’d rather that than not trust.
“I think not being ready [for a romantic relationship] and avoiding it because you’re afraid, are two different things,” Twain continued, going on to share relationship advice with Barrymore. “Everybody needs to be loved. …I would just be honest right off the bat. I was with Fred [husband Frédéric Thiébaud, whom she married in 2011]. …You have to be right upfront. ...I think you have to just be very, very honest.”
Twain and Barrymore also spoke throughout the season premiere about the Queen of Me star grieving the loss of her voice, reacting to Taylor Swift wearing a Twain t-shirt, Twain’s Coachella performance with Harry Styles and more. Watch some of the interview clips below.
