Country music singer Shania Twain is slowly stepping back into the spotlight after the break up of her marriage to Robert “Mutt” Lange in May 2008.

Twain has been keeping a low profile, aside from a brief appearance at the Country Music Association awards last November. But this week she will be a guest judge on “American Idol” during the Chicago auditions, and she has reached out to fans by posting a personal letter and video travelogue on her Web site.

Reba McEntire hopes this will mark Twain’s reemergence onto the scene.

“The country music industry is ready for Shania Twain to come back, definitely,” said McEntire. “You could see that at the CMA Awards. They gave her a standing ovation when she walked out on stage.”
