Shania Twain wants to get together with some girlfriends and get naked. At least that's what she told Woman's World in a recent interview.

Shania revealed, "I'm dreaming out loud here, but I want to go to a remote area somewhere in the world and just have a nude weekend, just with the girls, the women I am the closest to. It makes you want to laugh, right? I wouldn't have said that before!"

She added, "I just started looking at myself in the mirror naked as I grow older, and now, I'm so well into menopause, my skin is changing. Everything is changing, and I'm finally feeling more comfortable in my own skin than I ever have. It's been a journey to accept all of me. I've come a long way."

Twain said her new dream is all about confidence in her body. She said, "I'm not in any way being an exhibitionist — but I would love to be able to share that carefree confidence with other women. I don't want to spend my time looking at myself in the mirror, going, 'Oh gosh! I never wanted to be nude with other women on the beach!' I want to be okay with being naked with other women on the beach."

Shania concluded, "I don't want to be afraid or anxious of showing all the little flaws and scars that are adding up with age. I've become okay with that."

Twain recently toldThe Today Show host Hoda Kotb on her podcast "Making Space With Hoda Kotb" that although she has considered it in the past, plastic surgery is something she will not do.

Shania said, "I've come to a point where, no, I'm not gonna do it. Maybe that was probably part of what pushed me to go, 'OK, it's time to start loving yourself in your own skin.' Because sure, I've got lots of friends that have had very successful surgeries. But I've also seen others that aren't so successful." She added, "And then I think, 'Well, what if I'm one of those that doesn't heal very well, then I'm gonna hate that about myself.' Then I'm gonna regret doing it. And then, maybe I'm going to fall and cut myself, and I'm gonna need stitches, for real."

Shania changed the face of country music in the late 1990s and her influence is still felt today as many country superstars like Kelsea Ballerini, Carly Pearce, Taylor Swift, and more cite her as a major influence.
