Following her Grammy win which marked the most emotional speech during the ceremony, Meghan Trainor shares her insecurities in an interview and a few details about her upcoming Thank You album.
In an interview with Tracy Smith for Sunday Morning with Charles Osgood of CBS, Trainor revealed that she knows she had the talent but not the right looks to be a superstar, which may explain the message behind her "All About That Bass" hit song which is about self-acceptance.
"I -- every day -- wore sweatshirts and sweatpants to cover up my body, 'cause I was so insecure," said Trainor, according to CBS News, adding that she would don a sweatshirt even if it is summer and would resist into wearing more weather-appropriate clothes.
"I didn't want to show my arms. I didn't want to show anything, and I was just so insecure and uncomfortable, and I thought, 'All right, if I'm fully covered -- I'm good. And that's not what I should have been feeling," she continued.
But a lot of things changed when her song "All About That Bass" became a hit as well as her other tracks. This made her accept herself and build her self-confidence. She even became a role model for the youth who are also struggling with issues about their body image, People reported.
Meanwhile, her second album, titled Thank You, will be released on May 13 featuring her newly released song "No." She also revealed that there will be songs using the ukulele for "Hopeless Romantic" and an old school number titled "Dance Like Your Daddy,” which she wrote for her mother. She added that her songs will still be "doo-wopy," Los Angeles Times reported.
The "Dear Future Husband" singer also revealed her album art showing her gorgeous portrait for the cover. The said image was shared on Instagram with the caption, "#THANKYOU to all the fans that supported me for so long. Thank you to my family and friends who believed in me since day one. Thank you to my new family, my team of incredible people who work day and night to help make my dreams come true. This album is for YOU. Pre-order starts at midnight."
