Meghan Trainor: news, music and more
Meghan Trainor arrived in pop with a sound nobody else was making: retro doo-wop and fifties-style melodies mixed with modern beats and cheeky, body-positive lyrics. She has since become a hitmaker, songwriter and television personality. This page collects our Meghan Trainor coverage.
A songwriter first
Meghan grew up in Nantucket, Massachusetts, in a musical family, and began writing songs as a teenager. She first worked in Nashville as a songwriter for other artists before deciding to record her own material. That background shows in her tightly crafted, catchy songs.
All About That Bass
Her debut single All About That Bass became a worldwide phenomenon. Its upbeat doo-wop groove and message about loving your body made it one of the most talked-about songs of its time. Her major label debut album Title followed, with hits including Lips Are Movin and Dear Future Husband, and Like I'm Gonna Lose You, a ballad duet with John Legend.
Awards and big events
Meghan won the Grammy Award for Best New Artist, cementing her place in pop. She has been a regular guest at major awards events, including the People's Choice Awards, where she joined a roster that included Britney Spears, Gina Rodriguez and the cast of Grease: Live. Later singles such as No and Me Too showed a more confident, contemporary sound.
Television and family
Meghan has served as a coach on The Voice and as a judge on other music competitions, where her warmth and humour made her popular with viewers. She has spoken openly about her family life and has shared her experiences with fans through social media and podcasts.
