Meghan Trainor

“My fans love when I do pure pop,” Megan Trainor told Apple Music. “And then, a lot of the world likes when I do just the doo-wop stuff. So, I try to make everybody happy.” And even before she dropped her debut in 2014, Trainor already had it made. By that point, the 20-year-old Nantucket native had achieved the dream of many aspiring singer-songwriters: to infiltrate the inner sanctum of Nashville’s Music Row. But as it turns out, co-writing songs for country stars like Rascal Flatts and Hunter Hayes was the warm-up for what came next: Trainor’s first solo single, “All About That Bass,” swiftly became the most inescapable pop earworm of the year. The release of the full-length Title in 2015 made Trainor just the 13th woman in pop history to have both her first single and first album go to No. 1 on the Billboard charts simultaneously. On the follow-up, Thank You, she proved she was no mere throwback artist, as singles like “Me Too” and “No” updated her old-school aesthetic for modern-day dance floors. And with 2020’s Treat Myself, she further immersed herself in contemporary club sounds. Trainor has spent the subsequent years expanding her pop footprint with 2022’s Takin’ It Back as well as 2024’s Timeless and her 2026 album Toy with Me. Together, her eras highlight her ability to bridge nostalgic melodies with a fresh, vibrant sound.
