Pop star Meghan Trainor has addressed recent criticism surrounding her weight loss transformation and use of Mounjaro, a diabetes medication repurposed for weight management. On November 3, Trainor posted a video to her Instagram, mouthing lyrics from her upcoming single “I Still Don’t Care”, a direct response to online backlash. Known for her early advocacy of body positivity, Trainor’s new look has sparked mixed reactions among fans. The video marks a pivotal moment in her public narrative, blending personal evolution with artistic expression.
Background and Transformation Details
Trainor, 31, rose to fame with her 2014 hit “All About That Bass”, promoting self-love and body acceptance. In 2025, she revealed her weight loss journey, crediting lifestyle changes and later, the use of Mounjaro.
Her transformation included strength training, dietary adjustments, and guidance from fitness coach Bella Maher. Trainor emphasized that medication was introduced only after significant progress, stating it was “simply a tool” in her broader health plan.
Public Reaction and Artist Response
The Instagram video featured Trainor lip-syncing: “Said I was too thick. Then I got way too thin. And I try to stand out, but I want to fit in.” She concluded with: “Let me take a moment, think it over, does it touch me at all? Nope! I still don’t care.”
In the caption, she wrote: “And the chorus is my response. #stilldontcare.” Fans praised her confidence, while others expressed disappointment, citing a perceived shift from her original message.
One commenter wrote, “You just don’t look like yourself anymore.” Another added, “You built a career on body positivity, then used a diabetes drug to lose weight.”
Cultural Impact and Industry Context
Trainor’s situation reflects a broader debate in pop culture about authenticity and evolving health standards. The use of GLP-1 medications like Ozempic and Mounjaro has surged among celebrities, raising ethical questions about accessibility and messaging.
While Trainor is not alone in embracing medical support for weight loss, her early branding around body empowerment has made her transformation more polarizing. Analysts suggest this tension may influence how future artists navigate personal change in public view.
What’s Next for Meghan Trainor
Trainor’s single “I Still Don’t Care” is expected to drop later this month, with a full album slated for early 2026. She will also appear on upcoming episodes of The Voice as a guest mentor.
Her team has not confirmed a tour, but promotional appearances are planned across major platforms, including Spotify Singles and Apple Music Live.
