Meghan Trainor Opens Up About Body Shaming

Meghan Trainor has recently voiced her concerns about the growing trend of body shaming, describing it as increasingly harsh. After shedding 60 pounds, her social media has unfortunately turned into a platform for derogatory comments aimed at her weight and appearance, which has left her feeling quite emotional.

“All my comments were vicious attacks against me,” Trainor expressed during an interview. She shared her experience of posting photos online that unexpectedly drew a lot of negative attention. “It felt like everyone was so angry, criticizing everything from my weight to, well, my nose,” she said, reflecting on the unexpected cruelty of some comments.

Despite her determination to brush off the negativity, Trainor admitted that the comments eventually took a toll on her. “At first, I thought, ‘This doesn’t bother me.’ But honestly, it did. I ended up crying a lot,” she recounted. Even her therapist noted that she was giving power to these anonymous critics, making her wish she hadn’t let them affect her so deeply. So, at 31, she’s learning to protect herself from outside judgment.

The impact of the remarks extended into her daily life too. She recounts an awkward interaction with a stranger who bypassed a simple greeting to comment on her weight loss instead. “It was so strange—where was the ‘nice to meet you’?” she recalled.

Now, Trainor takes that negativity and channels it into her music. She revealed that her new single, “Still Don’t Care,” is inspired by her experiences with body shaming and the emotion linked to it. “I wanted to create a powerful song about how dismissive I feel about all this,” she stated. When she shares it with her team, it’s often an emotional moment.

Dismissing the derogatory feedback, Trainor emphasizes that she feels healthier than ever. “I’ve really focused on my health since giving birth, and I’ve never felt better. Honestly, I think I look incredible,” she stated confidently.

Trainor seems committed to not letting negative voices affect her well-being. “I’m focusing on self-care,” she noted. “We need to find ways to block out that kind of negativity.”
