Shania Twain's time on the road has come to an end, for now, although the memories keep pouring in courtesy of her favorite tour photographer – her husband, Frédéric Thiébaud.

The Canadian country-pop icon, 59, and the Nestlé executive, 55, have been married since 2011. They were brought together after Shania's former husband, Robert John "Mutt" Lange, ended up having an affair with Marie-Anne Thiébaud, the singer's best friend.

Shania and Mutt split up, with Marie-Anne also getting divorced from her then-husband Frédéric, and as the two found comfort in each other, they fell in love and tied the knot soon after.

Shania recently wrapped up her shows for the year

Frédéric has since then followed his wife on her tours whenever he can, and especially acts as her stage photographer, catching some of her most spectacular mid-show moments, including her latest snap.

He took to his Instagram page with a photo presumably from one of the singer's last shows of the year at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino at Hollywood, Florida, while in the middle of her set.

The close-up shot captured Shania from the waist-up, wearing a white mesh cardigan covered in rhinestone appliqués, covering a bikini top covered in silver sequins. The outfit was paired with denim short-shorts and glittery cowboy boots.

Fans reacted to the gorgeous photo with comments like: "Wow...this summer tour was nothing short of magical. Thank you for all the moments you captured!!" and: "You have been killing it with these pictures. Incredible eye," as well as: "Mother is mothering hardddddddd."

Frédéric has become a favorite among fans for his incredible snaps of his wife mid-show

Ahead of heading over to Florida for her final set of shows for the year, Shania shared a snap of herself wearing a fan-made tee while holding her adorable pup Sapphire at her ranch, likely in Las Vegas.

"Florida, it's the final four shows of tour and the final shows for this year," she penned in her caption. "It's going to be hard to transition back to 'normal life', getting to spend every night with my beautiful fans is the best part of the job!"

"Speaking of, how AWESOME is this t-shirt from the @justbetwainfans gang?!" she gushed. "I love it so much I wore it to dinner last night! You're up first Jacksonville – Let's make it count and of course... LET'S GO GIRLS!"

1. She isn't called Shania Twain!

She was, in fact, born Eilleen Regina Edwards. When her stepfather adopted her and her siblings she took his last name Twain. Later she adopted the stage name Shania which is an Ojibwa word which means "on my way"

2. Bar singer

When she was just eight years old, Shania used to sing in bars to help financially support her family as they grew up in Timmins, Ontario. 

3. Family tragedy

Tragically, her mother and stepfather both died in a car accident in 1987 when Shania was 22, leaving her to raise her two younger sisters. At the time of the accident, Shania put her music career on hold to move back to Timmins to look after her family. They moved to Huntsville, Ontario, and she helped support her sisters by performing at the Deerhurst Resort.

4. Horseback riding horror

In the early 2000s, Shania contracted Lyme disease after being bitten by an infected tick while horseback riding. At the height of her career, the disease significantly impacted her vocal cords, leaving her unable to sing. In a documentary about her life, Shania opened up about the battle: "I thought I'd lost my voice forever. I thought that was it, I would never, ever sing again." In a 2020 appearance on ABC's The View, Shania said she had a ''grip'' on the disease: "I have a different voice now, but I own it. I love my voice now.''

5. Messy love triangle 

Shania Twain and Mutt Lange were married from 1993 to 2010 until she found out he was having an affair with her close friend, Marie-Anne Thiébaud. In a plot twist, Shania ended up marrying her friend's ex-husband Frédéric Thiébaud in 2011. However, she told the New York Post in 2015 that all ties were cut with her former pal: "And as for her former friend? “I don’t see her, ever. I don’t invite that trigger into my life … She’s not my future — she’s my past.'' 

Prior to heading on the road for a summer of touring back in June, the "You're Still the One" singer shared a glimpse of some outtakes of life outside the arenas, including intimate singalongs at restaurants, exploring new cities with Sapphire, and making some new music.

"It's going to be hard to transition back to 'normal life', getting to spend every night with my beautiful fans is the best part of the job!"

"I thought I would share a little bit of what my life has looked like lately," she wrote alongside some of those photos. "A phone call that could have been an email, jam sessions with friends, meeting a wonderful singer at a restaurant for an impromptu still the one duet, and travelling and adventures with Sapphie. We head into rehearsals for the Summer tour next week, I can't wait to get back on the road!"
