“No way this is Meghan Trainor,” one commenter said, while another wrote, “she looks like a mannequin.”
“Guess she’s not all about that bass anymore,” said another, referring to the lyrics of her global 2014 hit All About That Bass, which catapulted her to fame.
“You know I won’t be no stick-figure, silicone Barbie doll,” read the lyrics of the body-positive anthem.

The Me Too singer has candidly spoken about her weight-loss journey and the “huge lifestyle changes” she made.
After the birth of her firstborn son, Riley, in February 2021, she and her husband, Daryl Sabara, did “75 Hard,” a 75-day weight-loss program that includes exercising twice a day and sticking to a rigid diet plan.
“Then, we heard more and more of our friends—and even our doctors—were on Mounjaro and Ozempic,” she said in an episode of her Workin’ On It podcast with her husband.
The Grammy winner said she and her husband, Daryl Sabara, decided to take Mounjaro along with regular workouts
She and Daryl decided to add Mounjaro to their weight-loss regimen, and they continued working out.
“We were like, ‘We have to make sure we don’t lose muscle that we worked so hard gaining all those years,’” she said.
“We stay in the gym, we work out, we eat right, and we just noticed that we were less hungry.”
Meghan said her decision to focus on her health came after she stepped into motherhood.

“I was my heaviest I'd ever been” after welcoming Riley via C-section, she told ET Canada in November 2022.
“I was 200 lbs. ... I just wasn't feeling great,” she continued. “I've never had stitches, so to have this C-section scar, I was in a really dark place, and I wanted to be in a great place for my son.”

In the months after her C-section, she focused on her diet and exercise and realized that working out kept her happy. She lost 60 lbs. in the following months.
“I worked [out] every day and challenged myself. And I was like, ‘If I can survive a C-section, I can do anything.’ And I did,” she said. “I was very dedicated and I started seeing the pounds come off one week at a time, one pound. I was like, ‘I'm fighting.’”

Meghan continued focusing on her health after welcoming her second son, Barry, in July 2023. She now appears to be happy and content with her family life, occasionally sharing pictures with her husband and sons.
Earlier this year, the Made You Look singer told fans that she underwent a breast lift and augmentation.
The Grammy winner said she had dealt with “sagging” breasts all her life and “always struggled with loving” them.

After going under the knife, she and her Spy Kids star husband were elated with her new “perky” assets.
“They stay perky when I’m laying down. It’s unbelievable,” she told People in March.
The procedure was performed by California-based plastic surgeon Dr. Payman Danielpour in the beginning of 2025.

“I love my results so much,” she said in her announcement video. “My breasts look fuller, completely natural and they complement my body proportions beautifully.”
“They are finally twin sisters and not distant cousins,” she added.
The singer said earlier this year that she was “honored” to receive the Hitmaker award at the 2025 Billboard Women in Music event in March.
But she found it “disheartening” that a lot of the comments were focused on her body instead of her music or her “decade of hard work.”

“This is what it’s like to be a woman in the music industry,” she wrote in an Instagram post. “No, I don’t look like I did 10 years ago.”
She said in the post that she has been on a journey to become her “healthiest, strongest version” for her kids and herself.
“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,” she added.
“Here’s to celebrating talent, growth, and the power of putting yourself first,” she continued. “Let’s keep shifting the convo to what REALLY matters.”
