This we actually taped to my boobies so they were in place.
I cannot.
I was on these steps, these green steps,
because I was like, I want to be on top of my dollhouse.
And my mom was like, Arch, and I was like, nah.
But it looks really good.
Arch!
From Amazon Music, it's The Walk In, honey.
Oh.
Legendary children, it's the one and only Mo Heart.
And we are back with another episode of The Walk
In in Los Angeles.
Today we are going to the closet of the doll, the dream
herself, Miss Meghan Trainor.
Meghan Trainor is a Grammy-winning pop singer
and songwriter who became a household
name after the release of her 2014 smash hit,
All About That Bass.
Megan's signature sound and authentic lyrics
are empowering a new generation of fans across the globe.
Let's go see.
Meghan!
[SCREAMS]
[LAUGHS] How are you?
I'm so good.
How are you?
Mwah.
First of all, let me just sing your praises.
Tell the world so y'all can hear this.
From every drag queen, we say thank you
because we have made so much money from you.
I'm so serious.
You came out with "All About That Bass," boom, boom, boom,
boom.
Then you came out with "Me Too."
And that was the one.
I don't know one drag queen that has not performed your song.
And so I just want to say thank you, thank you, thank you.
I want to thank all the drag queens for picking my song.
Yes!
I'll never forget Sam Smith to pick you,
one of my first real drag shows.
And they sang me too.
And Sam was like, here, here's some dollar bills.
Go up there.
And I was like, OK.
It was the best time of my life.
Yeah.
So thank you so much.
I'm so excited to be here with you
and to go through your closet.
I know, right.
Do I have a closet?
Are you ready to go through it?
I'm so excited.
I hope you like it.
Let's go.
Oh my gosh.
Meghan we are so excited to be in the closet!
Welcome to my home.
Just to be in your presence like, grab me,
I've been in my house bobbing to Miss Meghan Trainor.
[SCREAMS] I've been bobbing to you.
What is it?
Hot Sauce and Heels.
Ahhh!
She know my songs!
Slay.
Go stream it.
You sing.
Oh my gosh.
Thank you.
You have great vocals.
Thank you.
OK, but this is about you.
So this is the segment that we call The Fashion Rewind, where
we get to find out who you were in the beginning.
So I'm going to start here.
This was for Pride.
OK.
Which Pride?
My favorite shows I've ever done.
LA Pride.
Which one?
2019?
Check.
Pre-COVID.
The world.
This was a big deal for me because I am so insecure.
And I never show arms and legs.
And this was showing legs through the fishnet
and the arms.
And I was like, for Pride.
And I've never gotten more love in my entire life.
And the back was a thong.
Could you imagine?
I literally wear granny panties.
I never wear thongs.
I am a grandmamma.
And so for the show, my poor brother
had to film me the whole time.
But I was like, pew in a thong.
And I've never heard a lot of screams from the crowd.
[INAUDIBLE]
All the beautiful ladies [INAUDIBLE]
Oh my god.
Tell me about this.
OK.
Yes, here we go.
We're at People's Choice Awards, I've been to twice I think.
But this one I won an award.
And I got to wear Balmain.
How do you say it?
Bah-mahn.
Baw-main.
Baw-maw.
Which one is it?
Ball-mon.
Baw-main.
I've been saying Balmain.
What do you say?
Because I'll just say what you say.
I go Baw-mawn.
[BUZZ]
Baw--
[INAUDIBLE]
What is it?
Which one is it?
Is it Baw-main, baw-mon?
Baw-main.
Bahl-mahhn.
Oh, Bahl-mahhn.
Bahl-mahhn.
It's French, right?
Mm-hmm.
[INAUDIBLE]
We so slayed it.
And it was the first time showing my boobies.
[INAUDIBLE]
I show my legs, and I got my award.
What was your first designer purchase
after you released your--
Oh, purchase?
Yeah.
Oh, not for years.
I had to learn what everything was.
I remember I finally got into Gucci,
Gucci was my first love, when I was mid-20s,
and I finally made money.
And I was like, OK, what do I do with it?
And I would buy backpacks and bags and sneakers.
So I was like, I can fit in these.
Right!
These are simple.
Also you don't feel bad like, I bought a Gucci t-shirt,
wore it once, not it's dingey.
No, I would never buy a Gucci t-shirt.
But a hoodie I'll buy.
Right.
Because they last.
That part.
See?
It has to make sense.
Make it make sense.
That part.
Yeah.
Now this one?
Oooh!
Alexander McQueen.
The great--
Literally the greats.
Alexander McQueen.
Isn't it stunning?
So tell me this is for, that you had the barbs?
Yes, the barbs.
This was for my song Nice to Meet You,
off my last album, Treat Myself, featuring the queen,
the legendary Nicki Minaj.
Did you all do it in studio together?
No, she records so fast.
And she literally did it in a day and sent it to me.
And I was like, it's perfect.
And then the music video, she came in.
And her team was like, watch this.
She did one or two takes.
And they were like, perfect, done.
Like she just knows.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
And I was screaming.
And I was like, why not, where are the-- please go home.
We also on set, we were talking about like, I want kids.
She's like, I want a baby.
I was like, I want a baby.
And then we went and made baby boys.
Yes!
[CLAPS]
It's so [INAUDIBLE] Yeah, she's the best.
OK.
This Christian, this goes on top of that.
There's a lot of parts.
So Christian Cowan is incredible.
(WHISPERING) I love him.
I love him.
And he just has a crazy brain that makes so much sense.
I wore this in my music video for Holidays,
featuring Earth, Wind and Fire.
Yeah!
So could you imagine, that's a real sentence,
that whole thing.
And I was five months pregnant so I was insecure
because I was like, oh, I'm at an awkward place
where it's like, is it a bump or is a--
[LAUGHS]
Is it dinner?
Is it lunch?
It was too heavy.
Is she bloat or is she pregnant?
Right.
So I was like, we should just make it a big present.
Like I'm a bow.
And I was like, Christian Cowan is bow, bow, bow.
So he made this for me.
This is like this, and then that one, over my belly.
Oh, so it went here.
It was diagonal too.
Yup.
So did you do a Christmas card in this lovely look?
My Christmas album was called A Very Trainor Christmas,
which is my family, Trainor.
So for the packaging, it was my family members in matching PJs.
And that was like my Christmas card.
I was just handing out albums.
It was so cute.
[LAUGHS] OK.
Talking about packages, what is this one behind you?
Oh, yeah.
This was also part of my Christmas album promo.
This was in the Holidays music video
with Earth, Wind, and Fire.
I was like, I want to be Katy Perry and I want to be a box.
I want to be a present.
And I felt like Katy Perry because she's my idol.
Right?
And I saw your episode with her, and it was so good.
And this has been amazing getting to know the story,
in the beginning, the fashion rewind.
But now we're going to spin to the future.
Rah, rah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah.
And now we are here.
This is fabulous.
You might not get it back, so tell me about it.
You can have it.
Ohhh.
This is part of the album photo shoot for the new album
Takin' It Back.
This is a skirt, and then we showed tummy cardboard.
It's hard to put on but it's so cute.
And I just love that it gave me the vibes of Title,
back in the day, my first album.
But it was modern and cool and fashion.
What shoes did you wear with these?
You know the pink Versace ones?
The pink Versace shoes.
We got fake ones that looks like this.
Yeah.
And then I wore them in the photo shoot.
I was about this look because this is gorgeous,
this pretty in pink.
Custom, custom-made.
VC.
Ohh.
We're having a pink moment right now for my song "Made You Look"
and for the Today Show for album week.
I'm always wearing a black catsuit on the Today Show
because it's 6:00 AM.
You wake up at 3:00 for glam.
It is cold in New York.
And the camera angles are like up here.
So nothing is flattering so we're like, let's wear black,
let's just hide and be cold.
But for this, I was like, I'll do a bodysuit
but I want it to be pop star.
I wanted to say, I made you look.
And so we did a full tight catsuit
and then put a glitter suit over it.
And I felt so beautiful.
And I wore these shoes to match it.
And you could see the got all roughed up because I actually
got on my hands and knees when I crawled down
to see all the fans.
I love this.
This is a lovely two-piece.
I wanted to show more body.
I'm being here for you, and you're like feeling,
I'm a curvy girl but baby I'm here.
What's good?
Oh, I know I had a baby and then I never been smaller.
I lost 60 pounds.
So I was like, I got to show off something.
I've been working so hard.
And this was for the Made You Look music video dance
scene at the end.
We wore this, and we shot in the same room
as "All About That Bass."
I didn't even mean to.
And I was literally crying because I
was like, this is a moment.
And I never felt more cool.
And I did my little dance.
Yeah!
Tell me about this album and what's the inspiration?
What's the vibe?
You haven't put out music since what, the pandemic, correct?
Yeah.
I just wanted to stop chasing radio because I was like,
what will they play?
And then I noticed on TikTok, TIDAL
was blowing up for my first album ever.
And I do up stuff.
Another songwriter was like, some artists
are coming in saying they want to do the Meghan Trainor sound.
And I was like, what's that, the doo-wop?
And they're like, yeah.
And I was like, easy.
I could do this in my sleep.
So I wrote the song "Don't I Make It Look Easy"
because I was like a mom with a young baby throwing
all this crap in the car.
And I was like, OK, let's go to the studio.
You're writing skills, I will say--
here you go.
When I read the lyrics and then you sing them,
you're like, [BLEEP] I can do this.
And then I try to be like, ooh, maybe not.
Well, it's witty.
It is.
It's funny stuff, which is all you all day long.
So yes, you could do it.
We'll try.
I'll do the Meghan Trainor bootcamp session.
Do it.
[INAUDIBLE]
Tell me about this.
This is gorge.
This is a Balenciaga.
Because I said, for this album, I
want to ball out and be fancy because my song is
like, I could have my Gucci on, my Louis Vuitton.
I was like, I want the fancy, fancy brands.
And I want you to put them on my body.
And I just rock a catsuit.
So this we actually like taped my boobies
so they were in place.
And then I had to just Photoshop the tape away.
Yeah.
Good thing.
And my hoo-ha was fully out that day for everyone involved.
So my brother left the room.
I cannot.
I was on these steps, these green steps,
because I was like, I want to be on top of my doll house,
like my perfect life.
And my mom was like, Arch!
And I was like, nah!
But it looks really good.
[VOCALIZING] Arch!
Arch!
This one is very--
Also nude.
Maybe we can see it all.
We can see it all.
Meghan, I'll be here for you.
I'm in my hot girl era.
Cause I had a baby, and now I'm naked.
Hot look.
OK, come forward.
So this was for "Bad for Me," my first single
off this album, Takin' it Back, with Teddy Swims.
And I was like, I want to show my body.
I'm really hot.
And I got my period that day.
And I was like, but I'm naked wearing all white.
But I did it, and I survived.
You still did it?
I was like, can you see my string?
What?
Women can do anything, baby.
Women can do anything!
And I was screaming to the whole room.
I was like, ohhh!
I'm playing it.
I was like, I just wanted to feel tight and small today
in this naked outfit.
But they put flowers in my huha area and my boobies
to cover up everything.
So I felt sexy.
Check it out.
[INAUDIBLE]
Thank you.
Tell us about this one because this is the one.
Is this the one?
This is the one.
This I wore on Jimmy Fallon to perform Made You Look.
I was so terrified because Taylor Swift was on that day.
And the crowd screamed sold out for her
like it was the Beatles.
And I was like, oh, T Swift fans are here.
And I was so nervous because I was like, oh,
are they going to know me?
Going after her, I was like, hello.
And they were so nice.
And I was just so nervous because I knew a lot of people
would watch that episode.
But also this area for me, I got my period.
So I was just like, whoa, I had crazy cramps.
Oh, the cramps.
I thought that you were going to say you had a reveal.
And I was about to say, no!
Had to pop a string.
No, I wore two sets of tights just in case that would happen.
I was like, let's seal it up.
And the shoes are right.
The shoes, because these are pretty comfortable.
I know no one.
Size 23, so that's a 7?
I was like, 23.
She's a 7 after the pregnancy.
All the cute shoes.
[INAUDIBLE]
Sorry.
[LAUGHTER]
[INAUDIBLE] You can have it.
Yeah.
My foot can't even get in.
What can fans expect on this project?
She's just more confident.
She's a mom.
She's been through more.
She is me.
I'm finally really happy and comfortable.
And finally loving clothes again and just want
to slay and show more.
I live.
Yeah.
Here you go.
When you did the Me Too album, I felt like you
were coming into yours.
And then boom, you had a baby.
I do remember that.
I went red hair, then I went to a downhill spiral
of crazy anxiety, panic attacks and was like, well,
that's a wrap.
I'm done.
And then I crawled my way out of it and got help.
And really took care of myself.
And you could see it on me.
I look happier.
I got new teeth.
And I've just never felt prettier and happier.
And I've got a hold of my anxiety.
And a lot of people were like, if you have a kid,
your life is over and it's their life.
I'm like, no, baby, I've just begun.
I'm like, nothing can stop me.
The facts are real.
Yes, you are right.
Meghan, this has been so amazing.
Thank you so much for just opening up your closet,
giving me the Balenciaga.
You're welcome.
All of this is for you.
But before you go, I do want to play a little game with you.
I love games.
Here we go.
We're going to play a little game where I ask you questions
inspired by your music.
Like I'm Gonna Lose You, what is one item
that you're always losing?
My phone.
What do you always lose?
A nail.
Every five seconds.
A, shoe a hip pad.
There you go.
[LAUGHTER]
Better When I'm Dancing.
What is your go-to song that gets the dance party started?
Anything by Beyoncé.
OK.
The new one.
The CUFF IT one.
Aaahhh!
Don't I Make It Look Easy.
What part of motherhood do you feel
you are absolutely crushing?
Well, then I'm crushing, I was like, lining up the fails.
[LAUGHS]
That I'm crushing?
Oh, god.
That's like, making him laugh?
This is sad.
I don't know.
And he's really good at the kisses.
I'm like, give mom a kiss.
And he goes, like that.
[LAUGHS]
It's so cute.
The whole mouth.
What has been the most surprising thing
about marriage?
Oh, that it gets better.
I know that's not for everyone.
But we just get closer and closer and more
like best friends.
When we go to bed at night, we just giggle and laugh
till we fall asleep.
And it's like, I get to have a slumber party with my best
friend.
That's what our marriage is like.
[LAUGHS]
Oh, can that be relationship goals?
He really is.
He's a king.
I really do love that.
Last one, last one.
Made You Look.
When do you feel sexiest?
Every time I get in the shower, my husband's there somehow.
And he's just like, oh my god.
He's like, you look amazing.
Ohhh.
God has blessed you.
Increase and increase.
This was amazing.
Ahh.
Meghan, this has been so fun.
Is there anything else you want to talk about?
Thank you.
And congrats on your new show.
I love this show.
I've seen every episode.
[INAUDIBLE] Thanks to everyone who's
listened to the new album, Takin'
It Back and for making TikToks for Made You Look.
