Meghan Trainor
Ball Arena — Denver, CO

Meghan Trainor emerged in 2014 with All About That Bass, a retro-leaning pop song that became inescapable. The track's doo-wop production and body-positive messaging hit a specific cultural moment, though it also invited criticism for its occasional condescension toward thinner women. She followed up with a self-titled debut that leaned into that throwback aesthetic, working with producers like Dr. Luke and Ryan Tedder to craft songs about relationships and confidence. Lips Are Moving and Dear Future Husband kept her in the conversation through 2015 and 2016. After that initial run, her output became less consistent, with later albums receiving less attention. She's since pivoted toward reality TV and other ventures while continuing to make music. Trainor's best work captures a specific early-2010s pop formula: infectious hooks, deliberate retro production, and direct lyrics about dating and self-worth.

Her crowds are heavily weighted toward younger fans who grew up with her early hits. Shows tend to lean into the party side of pop, with audiences singing back every word to All About That Bass. Energy is straightforward and buoyant rather than revelatory.

Meghan Trainor brought her full catalog to Red Rocks in October, moving from the playful early hits through deeper cuts that showed her range. She opened with "Mother," an interesting choice that set a reflective tone before pivoting to the bass-heavy grooves everyone came for. The setlist balanced her biggest moments—"All About That Bass," "Dear Future Husband"—with less obvious tracks like "Crowns" and "Been Like This," giving the amphitheater crowd something beyond just the singles. She closed out with "Made You Look," a fitting send-off that reminded everyone why she's stuck around in pop music.

Denver's pop scene tends to skew toward indie and alternative influences, so Meghan Trainor's unapologetic throwback pop—all bass drops and 50s-inflected vocals—offers something different. The city's venues and audiences have warmed up to mainstream pop acts over the past few years, making it a reasonable stop on any pop tour.

Stay in Highland, where tree-lined streets and independent bookstores make it feel like you're actually in Denver rather than passing through. Eat at Frasca Food and Wine if you want to understand why Colorado takes its ingredients seriously—it's fine dining without pretense. Before the show, spend an afternoon at the Denver Art Museum's contemporary wing, which often has installations that match the visual language of experimental music. Walk around Santa Fe Drive's gallery district. It's the kind of neighborhood where the art and music scenes actually talk to each other.
