1. She taught you it takes time for the heart to heal, but when it does you become that much stronger.

2. She writes songs about real issues, such as the overspending, status obsessed world we live in.

3. Don't forget that she helped pave the way for female country singers in an industry that was dominated by men.

4. If “Man! I Feel Like A Woman” isn’t your pump-up song you need to reevaluate your life choices.

5. With songs like “She’s Not Just A Pretty Face” and “If You Wanna Touch Her, Ask!” it's clear she’s all for female empowerment.

6. While she knows there's more to a person than looks, scientists have proven that (mathematically speaking) she has a perfect face. So that's pretty cool.

7. She's incredibly supportive of the current generation of country-pop ladies.

"I think it’s a great compliment because she’s such a great artist, songwriter, and a great entertainer, and she’s crossed genre and [she's] just herself. I’d say, yeah. I was always very hard to categorize anyway and wasn’t sure where I really belonged, and maybe Taylor experiences that too, to some degree. That’s a huge compliment, so thank you."

-Shania Twain on being called "the original Taylor Swift".

8. Canada is quite proud of her.

9. She has won 187 awards in total, including 6 Canadian Country Music Awards, 12 Junos, 9 Billboard Awards, 5 Grammys, and 5 American Music Awards.

10. She taught you not to buy into people's flashy attempts to win you over. If you want to be with someone, great, but don't feel obligated to do so if you don't feel a connection.

11. Not only does she rock a leopard print coat, but she helps save the big cats, too.

12. She's proud of her roots.

"I'm neither embarrassed of who I am, where I come from, what I've experienced, I'm not ashamed of it."
