Meghan Trainor
Mohegan Sun Arena — Uncasville, CT

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.

Hartford's pop landscape tends toward the radio-friendly side, which is exactly Meghan Trainor's wheelhouse. The city has a solid track record with mainstream pop acts, and Trainor's retro-influenced production and vocal hooks should fit naturally into what audiences here already gravitate toward. Worth checking out.

Stay in the West End neighborhood—it's got actual character and puts you near some decent restaurants. Head to Saluto for Italian that doesn't oversell itself, or The Sycamore for New American food done properly. Before the show, walk through Bushnell Park and check out the Elizabeth Park conservatory if the weather cooperates. After, grab a drink at Vaughan's Public House if you want to decompress somewhere that feels lived-in rather than designed. The Wadsworth Atheneum is worth an hour if you have time to kill during the day.
