About Meghan Trainor

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 + Los Angeles

Meghan Trainor touched down at Huntington City Beach on May 10, 2025, running through a setlist that mixed her biggest moments with deeper cuts. She opened with the understated vulnerability of "Mother" before pivoting to "Criminals" and the undeniable hook of "All About That Bass." The beach setting felt right for her—casual, bright. She pulled out "Been Like This," a track that shows her range beyond the retro-pop confection she's known for, and closed with "Made You Look," which landed harder than you'd expect in that oceanside air. It was the kind of performance that works best in a place where people aren't expecting to be impressed.

Live Music in Los Angeles

Los Angeles has a complicated relationship with pop music. It's the home of pop machinery — major labels, producers, session musicians — but the city itself tends toward indie sensibilities and genre-blending. That said, LA audiences show up for infectious pop hooks, which is Meghan Trainor's bread and butter. The pop landscape has shifted since her early 2010s run, but LA still appreciates artists who know how to write a chorus.

Los Angeles road trip to see Meghan Trainor?

Stay in Los Feliz, where you can walk tree-lined streets and catch views from Griffith Observatory. Dinner at Republique in the Arts District—refined French-inspired food in a restored factory space that feels more Paris than LA. Spend an afternoon at the Huntington Library in San Marino, a world-class art collection that justifies the drive. The city's recording studio history is everywhere; walk through Hollywood and you're literally surrounded by the spaces where hits were made. End the night at a jazz bar like The Fonda Theatre or catch live music on Sunset Boulevard.
