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 + Philadelphia

Meghan Trainor brought her retro-pop energy to Wells Fargo Center on December 16, 2024, running through a setlist that balanced her biggest moments with deeper cuts. 'Been Like This' and 'Criminals' showed the range beyond the hits everyone expects, while 'Made You Look' closed things out with that signature bass-heavy production she's built her reputation on. Philadelphia's seen her grow from viral novelty to legitimate pop artist, and this performance felt like a victory lap for someone who actually stuck around.

Live Music in Philadelphia

Philadelphia's always had a soft spot for pop music that borrows from the past—Hall & Oates proved that decades ago. The city appreciates melody-forward songwriting and production that shows its work, which aligns with Trainor's whole aesthetic. Between the legacy of Philly soul and its current crop of pop-literate artists, there's clearly an audience primed for her nostalgic-but-modern take on bubblegum production.

Philadelphia road trip to see Meghan Trainor?

Stay in Rittenhouse Square, where you can walk to dinner at Vetri, the restaurant that actually deserves its reputation. Spend your afternoon at the Barnes Foundation—it's genuinely world-class, even if you're not typically a museum person. Walk through Old City, grab coffee at Little Lion, wander through galleries that don't feel like they're trying too hard. If you have time before the show, check out what's playing at The Fillmore or Johnny Brenda's, venues that consistently book solid acts. The neighborhood around the venue is worth exploring on foot.
