- Our next guest is a Grammy Award-winning artist
who loves a good old fashioned puzzle.
Also, she's married to a Spy Kid.
Please welcome someone that I love
but also really respect and I can't wait to meet her.
I'm so excited, Meghan Trainor.
(audience cheering)
(upbeat music)
Oh my gosh, I've been waiting to meet you for so long.
(group cheering)
I have been counting the days.
My heart's down to meet you.
First of all, I fall in love with this woman.
You come onto the scene, you take everybody's breath away.
Then I find out you're from Nantucket.
It's an extraordinary place to be.
- Yes, it's gorgeous.
- Okay, so you are married to a Spy Kid.
- A man, he's a man now.
- He's a Spy Man.
- I'm not married to a child.
I'm married to a Spy Man.
- Now how did you meet him?
- Oh, there's a couple stories.
But the first one ever, I was like 18-years-old
as a baby songwriter out here in LA
and I was at a songwriter Hollywood party
and he crashed it with two of his friends.
And I was like, Spy Kids is here.
And I went right to him and I usually my fan girl so hard
and I don't say anything
but I went right to him and was like are you Spy kids?
And he was like, yeah, and was really nice.
And then two years later I became a famous pop star
and I was friends with Chloe Moretz
and I was like I want a nice guy.
I'm sick of all these mean guys, I want a nice guy.
And she's like my best friend's, the nicest guy.
And then we went on a double date
and we've never been apart ever since.
(audience cheering)
- It's interesting to me
that you were also able to have a baby, congratulations.
- [Meghan] Made one.
- Made one.
How do you think you were able to accomplish with a newborn,
how are you making an album in the middle of hush focus?
- Luckily I produce and record my vocals myself.
So I do a lot of work at my house.
I built a studio in my basement
and then I told my co-writers we can start at 10:00 AM
but I'm wrapped by 6:00 PM
because I'm there for bath time and bedtime.
And that made it all worth it and great.
- I fell in love with you because you came onto the scene
and somehow you knew to defend who you are, what you are,
body positivity.
When they did that video and they elongated you
and you got right on, you said no and your lyrics
in the song about I'm up all night.
- Worried about my body type.
- Yes, how do you do it?
- I think hearing people, when I talk
about like my mental health
or my body positivity, they're like same.
You say a lot of the things that I feel
but I'm too scared to say out loud.
And I wanted to give a voice
to that in my music 'cause I need it for myself.
And now with this album it's with motherhood,
it's with the mom guilt of working so much.
It's with posting things that are only perfect
and not posting me sobbing 'cause I don't take pictures
when I cry, Chris.
But just like I didn't want people to think my,
I would get interviewed all the time
and they're like, you're a superwoman, everything's great.
You love your body, you're so confident.
I'm like, oh no, I do all this because I don't feel
those things, I'm working every day on trying
to better myself and trying to love myself more.
And that's what these songs are about.
So when Me Too video came out, I was like I'm the bass girl
that ain't no size two.
Why are you breaking my waist?
I'm very clear about, I don't do this, who did this?
So I was like, take it down.
That's not what I stand for.
(audience cheering)
- I've wanted to thank you as a woman, a mom, a girl
for so long you've also carried this strength,
humor over to social media and boy, okay,
you're I mean.
- [Meghan] You are a star.
- You are crushing it on social media
which I think is just so wonderful and fun.
You are like, mmm, and your bestie, Chris Olson is here
and he's all over your post.
How did you guys meet?
- [Meghan] Nantucket years ago.
He's also an Nantucketer
On TikTok, we like DM'd each other recently.
And then he posted an Instagram that was
like I'm just up all night thinking about Meghan Trainor.
And I was like, well I love you.
And then we did a podcast episode with my brother
and then we did TikToks together that day and I was like
we need to do this more and more and more
and I have an album coming out, help me.
And so he's been the best, best friend ever.
(audience cheering)
- And you need to find those people.
Ok, now I hear that you are single Chris.
I actually am aggressively single.
Since about January-ish?
- December, announced it in January.
- Okay, how would you feel
if we set you up with some eligible guys?
- Oh my God.
- Say yes.
- I think I could do that.
- Say yes to the dress.
- Okay, yay.
