Impressed by Twain's compositional skills, the executive signed the young singer, who was then still known as Eileen. In a bittersweet twist of fate, her first album featured only one of her original songs. Released in early 1993, the self-titled debut garnered little attention. Lange began work with her on her second album in late 1993. In December of that year, the pair got married.
All evidence indicates that the two are deeply in love.
Of course, love didn't prevent the couple from ratcheting her career up into the stratosphere. Her second album, released in February 1995, The Woman in Me, did considerably better than its predecessor. Eventually selling more than 10 million copies to easily surpass sales records of any previous album by a female country artist. Perhaps one of the grandest indicators of her enduring success and acceptance into the singing elite came in April 1998, when she was invited to perform at VH1's Divas Live concert, an intimate gathering that featured contemporary music's foremost singers. Twain held her own alongside the legendary Aretha Franklin, as well as contemporary divas Celine, Mariah, and Gloria.
