The past couple of days have been hectic for Meghan Trainor and her fans. On Monday, a music video was released for Trainor’s song “Me Too,” the second single off her album Thank You, set to release this Friday. But shortly after it went live, the video was suddenly wiped from the internet.
With fans confused as to why the video had disappeared, Trainor went to Snapchat to explain she had not approved the video to be released and she did not give permission to Photoshop her body. “They Photoshopped the crap outta me,” Trainor said. “My waist is not that teeny, I had a bomb waist that night, I don’t know why they didn’t like my waist. But I didn’t approve that video, and it went out for the world, so I’m embarrassed.”
On Monday night, Trainor appeared on Bravo’s Watch What Happens Live! and elaborated on the whole ordeal. “I was so upset because I thought the fans were doing it online and then I was like, ‘Oh my god, it’s my video.’ So I called the Gods of Vevo and they took it down.” She went on to promise that a new video that she approved would be released the next day.
Sure enough, yesterday, Trainor released the un-Photoshopped version of the “Me Too” video. To announce the release, she posted a side-by-side comparison on Instagram to show the drastic difference between the Photoshopped and un-Photoshopped videos.
And now all is right with the world again. Thanks for standing up for yourself and your bod, Meghan!
