Shania Twain praises Taylor Swift for breaking one of her chart records
"Historical records are meant to be made and then broken."
Taylor Swift would be the first to tell you she's a huge fan of Shania Twain.
In fact, when Twitter informed Twain that Swift had broken one of the many records she holds, she celebrated Swift's accomplishment with a tweet of her own.
Swift's current album "Red (Taylor's Version)" has been No. 1 on Billboard's Top Country Albums chart for the past seven weeks. Late last month, a Twitter account called The Swift Society announced that Swift has now spent more weeks at No. 1 on that chart than any other female artist -- a total of 98.
Twain had spent 97 weeks on top overall.
On Thursday, Twain retweeted that tweet and commented, "Let's Go Girls!!!! Proud of you @taylorswift13. Historical records are meant to be made and then broken. The baton is meant to be passed on to new generations."
She continued, "Unstoppable young female country artists are [fire] in spite of the hurdles #trailblazers."
In September 2021, Swift shared a TikTok to show how much she respects Twain. Watch it here.
