With the announcement of her introspective seventh album and an ambitious 2026 North American tour, Meghan Trainor reclaims her pop crown by doubling down on themes of growth, self-love, and unwavering family support—turning adversity into the ultimate fan anthem.
From ‘All About That Bass’ to ‘Still Don’t Care’—A Decade of Empowerment Evolves
Ten years after making seismic waves with her breakout debut album, Meghan Trainor is redefining what it means to own your narrative in pop. Her rise began with the infectious body-positivity of ‘All About That Bass‘, a track that not only dominated global charts but also set the blueprint for a new generation of self-love anthems. Through each career chapter, Trainor has made positivity and defiance her trademarks, crafting hits that encourage listeners to love themselves and drown out the negativity.
The Power Behind ‘Still Don’t Care’: Real Life, Real Growth
Trainor’s lead single, “Still Don’t Care“, serves as a manifesto of resilience. Inspired by public critique—and, more personally, the backlash she received for sharing her health and fitness journey—the track marks a turning point. “I was getting a lot of hate when I started posting more pictures of … my fitness journey and my health journey. And I didn’t really expect that,” Trainor reveals. The emotional toll became creative fuel: “I wish I didn’t give them so much power.” Through songwriting, she flipped the script, channeling the way she aspired to feel and offering it to fans as a weapon against online toxicity.
The song’s production pops with maximalist, 1980s retro sparkle, elevated by choir vocals from Pentatonix’s Scott Hoying and Trainor’s own family. These choices not only soften the song’s aggressive stance against haters but transform it into a celebration of solidarity and self-worth. “You could tear me apart,” she belts, “But I sleep well at night.” [AP News]
‘Toy with Me’: Family Ties, Songwriter Collaborations, and Intimate Anthems
While self-love remains at the core, ‘Toy with Me’ also finds Trainor diving deep into family bonds and emotional honesty. The standout track ‘Little One‘—written for her children, Riley and Barry—anchors the album’s intimate side. It’s a lullaby of maternal devotion, punctuated by heartfelt voice memos from her kids: “At the end of the song they say, ‘I love you, Mama,’ and it’s just the cutest thing ever. And that’s when everyone’s crying.”
This project not only marks the first time her children are featured, but also sees Trainor venturing outside her creative comfort zone, collaborating with new songwriters who pushed her to elevate every track. Unlike her past records—where songs often came together in a single day—each piece of ‘Toy with Me’ took months to refine, reflecting her meticulous drive for growth. [AP News]
A Tour for the Devoted: The ‘Get in Girl’ 2026 North American Tour
To mark this new era, Trainor is hitting the road for her highly anticipated ‘Get in Girl’ tour. Beginning June 12 at Clarkston’s Pine Knob Music Theatre and concluding August 15 at Los Angeles’ Kia Forum, the tour will feature stops in key cities including Toronto, Cincinnati, New York, Boston, Chicago, and Houston. The acclaimed duo Icona Pop will serve as openers, promising a night of electrifying pop unity. [AP News]
This return to large-scale touring follows her triumphant ‘Timeless’ run—the first in seven years. Where once she felt petrified, Trainor now approaches the stage with confidence hard-earned through adversity. The tour isn’t simply a promotional cycle; it’s a victory lap powered by growth and the support of fans who’ve rallied behind her message since day one.
Why ‘Toy with Me’ and Its Tour Matter to the Fan Community
Meghan Trainor has always crafted music for and with her community—her fans. The evolution seen in ‘Toy with Me’ isn’t just an artist’s journey; it’s a message for anyone who’s ever felt targeted, overlooked, or underestimated.
