In recent months, Meghan Trainor has been extremely candid about her use of Mounjaro, a drug for weight loss that contributed to the changes in her physical appearance. In April, the singer took to Instagram to share her weight loss journey: “I’ve worked with a dietitian, made huge lifestyle changes, started exercising with a trainer, and yes, I used science and support (shoutout to Mounjaro!) to help me after my second pregnancy. And I’m so glad I did because I feel great.”
Meghan is married to American actor Daryl Sabara, and together they have two kids.
Recently, she also opened up about getting breast augmentation surgery and losing 60 pounds. During her performance at iHeartRadio’s KIIS-FM Wango Tango event in Huntington Beach, California, Trainor changed the opening lines of her hit song All About That Bass.
Meghan Trainor Sparks Controversy After Lyric Change to Body Positivity Anthem
Trainor’s 2014 single topped the Billboard Hot 100 when it was first released. The song sparked a wider discussion on body positivity. It was praised for promoting self-love, while some critics felt it shamed thin women.
A clip of her performance in Huntington Beach shows Trainor swapping the lyrics from "Yeah, it's pretty clear, I ain't no size two," to "Yeah it's pretty clear, I got some new boobs."
Released in 2014, "All About That Bass" is hailed as a body empowerment anthem with lyrics like, "'Cause every inch of you is perfect from the bottom to the top" and "Yeah, my momma, she told me, 'Don't worry about your size."
Meghan Trainor previously stated that the song was written to celebrate her own body. It speaks to girls who resemble her and have struggled with self-acceptance. However, the lyric change in her latest performance has reignited controversy. Her Wango Tango performance received backlash for undermining the original message of the song.
Many users referred to her new look as her being "Paris Hilton-ified." While her body transformation has been praised, she has also been critiqued for altering the meaning behind her songs to fit her current image.
Previously, the singer opened up about body image issues, particularly after the birth of her son Riley in 2021. In an interview with Entertainment Tonight Canada, she revealed that she had reached her heaviest weight after childbirth. She admitted to being in a dark place and undergoing a significant transformation with support from a personal trainer, dietitian, and lifestyle coach.
Trainor gushed about her results in an Instagram video, saying, "I couldn't be happier about my decision." Fans responded with a mix of support and criticism. Speaking to USA TODAY, she said she wanted to use her voice for others considering the plastic surgery route.
“If someone out there is alone with their decision and struggling if they want to do it,” she says. “I'll be your best friend and hold your hand and let you know, like, this was the best choice I ever made.”
The Made You Look singer's lyric change has received mixed reactions from the audience. While some believe that, as a singer, she has the right to alter her own lyrics, others argue that the song — once hailed for promoting body positivity — no longer carries the same message.
