Meghan Trainor

Trainor became interested in music at a young age; she recorded three independently released acoustic albums and began writing and producing songs for other artists from 2013. Trainor made her major-label debut with the pop and blue-eyed soul record Title (2015), which debuted at number one on the U.S. Billboard 200 and spawned the top-10 singles "Lips Are Movin" and "Like I'm Gonna Lose You". Her dance-pop and R&B follow-up Thank You (2016) and its lead single "No" both reached number three on their respective charts. In 2020, Trainor ventured into funk on Treat Myself and holiday music on A Very Trainor Christmas. She followed these with the doo-wop and bubblegum pop albums Takin' It Back (2022) and Timeless (2024); the former produced the single "Made You Look", which reached the top five in several countries. Trainor's subsequent record, Toy with Me (2026), blends contemporary trends with retro influences.
Trainor's lyrics frequently include themes of womanhood, body image, and personal empowerment; however, at times, they have been criticized for being anti-feminist. Her music is influenced by the popular music of the 1950s, and blends the genres pop, R&B, doo-wop, and blue-eyed soul. Outside of the music industry, Trainor has had voice roles in the animated films Smurfs: The Lost Village (2017) and Playmobil: The Movie (2019). She served as a judge on the television talent shows The Four: Battle for Stardom (2018), The Voice UK (2020), and Australian Idol (2023).
