Us Weekly first broke the news of her engagement in December. Twain, who began dating Thiebaud in 2009, split from her husband, Robert "Mutt" Lange in May 2008 after he had an affair with her longtime best friend, Thiebaud's ex-wife, Marie Anne, who also managed the couple's chateau in Switzerland. In the wake of the betrayal, Twain and Frederic leaned on one another, and a romance developed.

“Help Me”

Joni Mitchell | 1974

Joni Mitchell wrote and recorded this song for her album Court and Spark, but she had to switch from her regular band to make the song sound exactly the way she wanted. "I had attempted to play my music with rock & roll players," she told Rolling Stone. "They’d laugh, 'Awww, isn't that cute? She's trying to teach us how to play.'" Mitchell switched to a jazz band, Tom Scott’s L.A. Express, and scored the biggest hit of her career in the process.
