Meghan Trainor Captures Sydney With Curves And Retro Charm
“All About That Bass” star Meghan Trainor is currently performing her first headline shows in Australia. Meghan rocked the Big Top at Luna Park, Sydney on Monday as the 21-year-old paraded her hit tunes, her shapely curves, and buckets full of old-school pop charm. Meghan Trainor connected with the near sell-out crowd, noticing their signs and even remembering to name check fans she had met during a pre-show meet and greet.
Meghan Trainor shot to stardom in 2014 when her mega-hit “All About That Bass” reached No 1 in no fewer than 58 Countries and became one of the best selling singles of all time with over six million copies sold to date. Ironically, Trainor only decided to release the song herself after it was turned down by the likes of Beyonce and Adele.
Trainor was initially thought to be something of an unlikely pop star, but she has become identified as a role model for teens who are struggling with body image. The Guardian called Meghan “a poster girl for larger women” while Fashion Times wrote that Trainor “inspired many women to embrace their curves.” Trainor has recently been blasted by some critics who called her current hit “Dear Future Husband” sexist.
According to the Daily Mail, Meghan Trainor showed Sydney-siders on Monday that she rocks those curves as she looked sensational performing in a black sequined top with a mesh front and a blue mini skirt. According to Fox Australia, Meghan connected with her Aussie fans by noticing their signs, dancing along with them and taking selfies.
Meghan surely made the night for a young couple she had met at the pre-show meet-and-greet when she dedicated a love song to them, she remembered their names and told them to stay together forever. How cute is that?
Fox praises Trainor as much for her image as for her performance saying that “Meghan is the type of artist that you want your child to idolize, with her constant pro-body image messages and teaching everyone to love yourself.” At one point during the show, Meghan asked the audience to “raise your hands if you are beautiful,” and the whole audience did. Fox praise the powerful and positive message that Meghan Trainor sends through these small gestures.
Meghan Trainor may be slightly kitsch and even a little cheesy, but as the Guardian points, out her performances are energetic, fun and full of old-school charm. Meghan Trainor knows her audience and her music sends a powerful and positive message to those fans. Learn to love yourself!
