12. Shania Twain and the Worst Best Friend Ever
Robert “Mutt” Lange and Shania Twain were married for 15 years. The couple also worked together; Lange was Twain’s manager through much of her career. Twain had a rough road to country fame; she grew up in poverty, lost both of her parents young, and nearly permanently lost her voice from illness. After all that, Twain still had one final hiccup that would turn her world upside down. Her long-time best friend Marie-Anne Thiébaud would steal her husband after a torrid affair in 2008. Distraught, Twain eventually found solace with Thiébaud’s ex-husband in the strangest, saddest version of Wife-Swap ever. Twain, now nearly 50, concluded her rocky career with a farewell tour in 2015, saying goodbye to music and memories alike so she could move on and take care of her son full-time. So, a somewhat happy ending for the country singer!
