Shania Twain delighted fans on Thursday when she took to Instagram to not only share a glimpse into her private marriage but also to reveal she's working on new music.
The Come On Over musician posted two photos of herself taken by her husband, Frédéric Thiébaud, with the snaps showing the 59-year-old carrying a hefty guitar case as she leaves a tropical-looking property.
Though Shania didn't reveal where the photo was taken, it certainly looks like paradise with bright blue skies and towering bamboo in the background.
Behind the country-turned-popstar, a glimpse is given of the home she and Frédéric are staying in, with luxurious sunbeds and floor-to-ceiling windows.

"Papped by my own husband on the way to what turned out to be a great writing session!" Shania began, revealing she has new music on the way.

On the writing process, the veteran musician continued: "Funny to hear your own thoughts, feelings and daydreams being realised into actual songs."
Approaching 60
She then made reference to her rapidly approaching sixtieth birthday, which falls in August, writing: "As I head into my 60th journey around the sun and my 7th studio album, I know that this world isn't systemically built to nurture a woman of my age releasing music but I feel more in tune with myself than ever – strong, inspired and full of creative energy. Thank you to my fans who stay with me through the process, you are my inspiration."
