“As a child, I remember thinking 40 was so old,” she said. “But now that I’m there, I feel like I have so much life under my belt. I’m much wiser. I wouldn’t be 22 again if you paid me!”
The “Blue” singer ended by saying that she really focused on self-care this past year, saying, “About six months ago, I started really focusing on taking care of myself.”

“A big part of my life has been overriding my body because I’ve had to show up and be on all the time,” Rimes added. “I’ve had to care about what people think of me for so long. So not abandoning myself and what I need has been a big shift.”
Days prior to this interview, she discussed with People how she’s excited to contribute to the changing narrative on aging. “That narrative is slowly changing, but I believe women like myself can lead an example of how vibrant life can be,” she said. “I want to see women powerful and contributing to this world and sharing their wisdom. It’s time to make a shift.”
Happy Birthday, LeAnn Rimes!
