Meghan Trainor Says It’s ‘Disheartening’ That Focus Is On Her Body As She Reveals Weight Loss Drug

Meghan Trainor is getting candid. On Saturday, March 29, the singer was honored with the Hitmaker award during the 2025 Billboard Women in Music event. As she accepted the prize, the 31-year-old revealed how her songs have helped her with her own confidence. “Everyone asks me, ‘How are you so positive and how you did so much and smile all the time?’ But the truth is that I write these songs for myself because I am so insecure and I have therapy a lot,” she said, later adding, “I write these songs because I need these positive affirmations for myself. And if it helps anyone else, that’d be amazing, too.” Two days later, on Monday, the “All About That Bass” singer took to Instagram to reflect on the event, as she shared some feelings about how there was a focus directed on her appearance. “Feeling so honored to be recognized by @billboard Women in Music as a Hitmaker—what a dream! But it’s a little disheartening that so many of the questions (and comments) were focused on my body instead of my music, my passion, or the decade of hard work that got me here. This is what it’s like to be a woman in the music industry,” she began before revealing that she has used a weight loss drug. “No, I don’t look like I did 10 years ago. I’ve been on a journey to be the healthiest, strongest version of myself for my kids and for me. I’ve worked with a dietician, made huge lifestyle changes, started exercising with a trainer, and yes, I used science and support (shoutout to Mounjaro!) to help me after my 2nd pregnancy. And I’m so glad I did because I feel great. Here’s to celebrating talent, growth, and the power of putting yourself first. Let’s keep shifting the convo to what REALLY matters. With Love.”
