Meghan Trainor recently showed off a new look on social media while participating in a TikTok challenge.
Trainor attempted the Nicki Minaj challenge in a new video. The singer modified her version of the trend, wearing white sneakers rather than stiletto heels, paired with a matching black and white striped mini dress.
Her new hairstyle featured dramatic bangs and a long, high ponytail to complete the look as she posed on one leg on top of two stacked dumbbells.
โNever again,โ Trainor captioned the video.
In the comment section, fans seemed surprised by the singerโs appearance, with a few users commenting they did not โrecognizeโ Trainor.
โSo itโs not about the bass anymore,โ another TikTok user added.
โI thought this was Paris Hilton,โ one person wrote, while another added, โI thought i was seeing Ariana grande but a bit off.โ
One user wrote, โLiterally became what she sang about not beingโฆโ
Other fans came to the defense of the singer in the comment section, with one TikTok user writing, โWeโre allowed to change and still be supportive of not talking about other peopleโs bodies and empowerment. Move on.โ
โWhy canโt we just be happy for people?โ another fan wrote. โYou go Megan trainor!!!โ
Trainor later shared another video on TikTok donning the same outfit as she lip-synched to Megan the Stallionโs song โHer.โ She mouthed along to the words, which included the lyrics, โI donโt care if these b—–s donโt like me, โcause like, Iโm pretty as f—.โ
โGlam team really did that,โ Trainor captioned the video.
Trainor has been candid about her health and her weight loss over the years, including her struggles with confidence.
Speaking to USA Today in March, the singer explained, โEvery time I get asked about, like, โHow are you so confident?โ Iโm like, โOh, Iโm not.โ Writing these songs is just my therapy for trying to love myself more.โ
Trainor also shared that she’s worked on her confidence and self-love for her two sons, Riley and Barry, explaining, โI donโt want them to hear me ever being mean to my body because I donโt want them to do that to themselves.โ
That same month, she also responded to recent comments and questions about her body in a March Instagram post after an award at the Billboard Women in Music event.
โFeeling so honored to be recognized by @billboard Women in Music as a Hitmakerโwhat a dream!โ she wrote in the caption. โBut itโs 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 itโs like to be a woman in the music industry.โ
Trainor addressed that she looks different than she did when she started her career a decade prior, writing, โIโve been on a journey to be the healthiest, strongest version of myself for my kids and for me.โ
The singer said that she works with a dietician, made โhuge lifestyle changes,โ began working with a trainer and started to use Mounjaro after her second pregnancy.
โAnd Iโm so glad I did because I feel great,โ she added. โHereโs to celebrating talent, growth, and the power of putting yourself first. Letโs keep shifting the convo to what REALLY matters.โ
