Alright, listen up, because this is a good one. Remember when Shania Twain sang, "Okay, so you're Brad Pitt?" in her massive 1997 hit "That Don't Impress Me Much"? Yeah, that iconic line. Well, fast forward 20 years, and the queen of country pop finally opened up about why she threw shade at one of Hollywood's most handsome actors. And it turns out, it wasn’t just random. It was all about some scandalous photos!

The Story Behind the Song

Here's the backstory, straight from Shania herself. She revealed during a candid interview with Billboard at Spotify in NYC that it all started with a scandal involving Brad Pitt and Gwyneth Paltrow. "I've never told this before. I'm going to say it now," the 51-year-old said. "I remember I had a girlfriend visiting me, and it was near Christmas. We were baking cookies, and I was working on my album Come On Over. At the same time, there was this huge scandal about Brad and Gwyneth where naked photos of him were leaked in Playgirl magazine." Now, Brad later sued the magazine, but back then, it was all anyone could talk about.

And honestly, Shania just wasn't impressed. "It was all the rage, but I just thought, 'What's all the fuss about?'" she recalled. "I mean, we see people naked every day—on TV, in movies, everywhere. That don't impress me much. I wasn't picking on Brad Pitt specifically, but that was the moment, and it became the association. Of course, it could have been any gorgeous guy!"
