Meghan Trainor has openly discussed the emotional impact of the backlash she faced after revealing her partial use of Mounjaro to aid her weight loss journey. The pop star expressed that the harsh comments from online critics deeply affected her, leaving her heartbroken. She emphasized that the support from her loved ones and therapist played a crucial role in helping her cope with the negativity.
Trainor, who recently announced her 2026 “Get In Girl” tour following the release of her new album “Toy With Me,” shared her experience during an appearance on “The Jennifer Hudson Show.” The singer has successfully lost over 60 pounds through a combination of regular exercise, dietary changes, and the medication Mounjaro. However, when she acknowledged using this weight-loss drug, she faced intense scrutiny from online trolls, which she described as a sudden and aggressive wave of criticism.
Reflecting on the hurtful comments, Trainor noted, “It felt like a flame lit off, and I was just getting attacked by so many mean comments.” She shared that this level of hostility was atypical for her, as she normally doesn’t let negativity affect her. The comments questioned her transformation, with some stating, “You were the bass girl, why are you thin now?” This backlash confused her, especially as she aimed to embrace a healthier lifestyle for herself and her family.
Trainor’s decision to use Mounjaro came after her second pregnancy, where she also battled gestational diabetes. In her candid discussion, she explained that her journey was focused on becoming the healthiest version of herself for her children. “I’ve worked with a dietician, made huge lifestyle changes, started exercising with a trainer, and yes, I used science and support to help me,” she said, indicating her satisfaction with the results.
Despite the negativity, Trainor is channeling her experiences into her art. Her recent single “Still Don’t Care,” inspired by the harsh feedback, reflects her struggle to ignore critics. She mentioned feeling rattled by the unexpected backlash, especially at a time when she was proud of her health improvements. “I was confused, lost, really sad, and heartbroken that I took care of myself, but everyone’s angry,” she lamented.
Looking ahead, Trainor is excited about her upcoming “Get In Girl” tour, set to commence in June 2026, promising to be very fit for her performances. She hopes to create an inclusive and energetic atmosphere for fans of all ages, celebrating health, growth, and personal resilience, while leaving the tough times behind her.
