We’ve gone from “I’m bringing booty back / Every inch of me is perfect from the bottom to the top” from Meghan Trainor, who celebrated body positivity, to Ozempic Meghan Trainor. She is as skinny as they come and literally unrecognizable in the music video for her song “Shimmer” from her new album Toy With Me.
It is a lot putting further evidence to the lie that she was telling us before. She didn’t think she was perfect from the bottom to the top, that was a bunch of nonsense. She wanted to be skinny all along, but she was happy to tout obesity and extra weight as a great lifestyle choice, irrespective of what it did to young girls and their health. All the while, she was obviously pining for a skinny body, which she is clearly getting nowadays thanks to a shot.
It was all bullshit. Here is Meghan Trainor back in 2014 in an interview with The Guardian: “Any body type is beautiful. It’s all about loving what you got and rocking with it.”
In 2015, she spoke to Elle magazine about her partnership with plus-size clothing brand Full Beauty. “I’ve always hated the word ‘plus size.’ It bugs me,” she told the mag. “When I first signed up with Full Beauty and I talked to them, I was like, ‘I don’t want to be labeled as this plus-size girl coming in.’ And they said, ‘Absolutely not. We don’t like that term either, which is why we like to say full beauty’ and why I was immediately excited to work with them. The word ‘plus size’ should be gone. It’s full beauty.”
But what we have now is quarter beauty, I guess. She is a quarter of her prior size. And I really wonder what she is going to say now to all the girls who she encouraged to be as fat as they wanted to be – eat the chips, go for the full Coca Cola, have the second dessert and the second helping – who are now looking at this stick figure thinking, What happened to the rest of her? What happened to embracing your full body and full beauty, Meghan?
I would have much preferred her to say, ‘I’m heavy. I wish I could lose the weight, but I’ve struggled and I can’t,’ then to be like, ‘No, I love being this size. It’s beautiful.’ And then as soon as the damn shot came, she was on it.
This is the woman who mocked “stick-figure Barbie dolls” in her hit song “All About That Bass.” Look what she looks like now. That seems to have been her motivation for this music video. She looks like a stick-figure Barbie doll.
She is a fraud. Were you lying then, or are you lying now? Which is it? Who’s the real Meghan Trainor? Because you should at least be honest about your 180 on the issue of weight and what is beautiful. You are the one who mocked the “stick figures.” You, Meghan Trainor, not the rest of us. You did that. So which is it?
