Pop star Meghan Trainor appears quite different in a recent social media video.
The singer, known for her 2014 hit and body-positive anthem All About That Bass, has visibly slimmed down over the past few months.
In this latest clip, where she participates in a popular video challenge, many fans wondered if it was really her.
Her trainer was seen looking leaner than ever while attempting the “Nicki Minaj High School Challenge.” This challenge involves balancing on one foot with a dumbbell, which is not an easy feat.
It’s worth noting that this challenge has led to some injuries; for instance, a Russian influencer recently broke his spine while trying it out in his kitchen.
The trainer captioned her video with “Never again,” indicating relief that she managed to complete the challenge without incident.
While comments on her posts were turned off, the video quickly garnered reactions on various social media outlets. Many were asking, “Is that Meghan’s trainer?”
One user even stated, “This is not Meghan’s trainer,” indicating disbelief over her transformation.
Another person commented on her weight loss since her famous song, saying, “I don’t think she’s all about that base anymore.” Some even likened her appearance to that of Ariana Grande.
At age 31, Trainor shared that she’s lost 27 kilograms after giving birth to her first child, Riley, in 2021. She mentioned feeling like she was in a “really dark place” before her transformation.
“I was over 200 pounds,” she revealed in a 2022 interview. “I didn’t feel good. I needed to be in a better place for my son.” She also talked about how her C-section scar impacted her feelings about her body.
In another chat on the red carpet this past April, Trainor discussed her journey, mentioning that she discovered many informative aspects about her health that she hadn’t known before.
“I hate running and cardio; my body was always inflamed,” she admitted. She went on to explain that she has been “biohacking” her body and expressed appreciation for the medical professionals guiding her.
Earlier this year, Trainor disclosed that her long-desired breast augmentation had given her renewed confidence. “These are the boobs of my dreams,” she said, emphasizing how empowerment can come from making choices about one’s body.
