Meghan Trainor Speaks Out on Body Shaming
Meghan Trainor is not staying silent anymore. The singer of “All About That Bass” has found herself under fire from body shamers regarding her significant weight loss, even though she insists she feels healthier than ever.
In a recent interview, she openly shared that losing 60 pounds led to an increase in online negativity towards her. It’s quite surprising, really, how much judgment surfaced just because she decided to take care of her health.
Trainor expressed, “I literally started taking care of my health at the highest level for the first time since giving birth. I’ve never felt better and I look incredible.” However, she noted that as she started feeling good, the criticism intensified. “I feel great and then people attack me,” she said, referencing how the comments became “louder” and “meaner.”
Despite the negative responses, Trainor remains focused on her well-being. “I take care of myself,” she emphasized. “We have to find a way to not be affected by that.”
She revealed that her health journey kicked off after discovering she had leaky gut syndrome, which led her to eliminate gluten and dairy, and she began taking strength training seriously.
Now, she’s channeled that backlash into her music. Recently, she released a song titled “Still Don’t Care,” which directly addresses her critics. The opening lines convey her resilience: “You can say what you want, you can say it’s hard to like me/You can tear me apart but I sleep better at night.”
As the song continues, Trainor reflects on the shifting beauty standards, stating, “When you say I’m too much, you’re probably right. It’s the same — I’ve heard all my life. You say I’m too fat, then I’m too skinny. And I want to stand out, but I want to fit in.”
In addition, her trainer recently shared before and after photos detailing her transformation, asserting that the most significant changes happened internally. Bela Maher of Malibu Bodies mentioned on Instagram, “Watching her transform from the inside out is one of the most meaningful parts of my job,” and pointed out that Trainor had initiated many changes herself before the introduction of the GLP-1 drug, which was just a support tool in her journey, not the primary reason for her results.
