Isn't Meghan Trainor like actually married now? Guessing he didn't listen to this song

Her music sounds like parodies of oldies. Totally lacking any innovation.

I’m a Meghan Trainor fan, who happens to be a male. I hate All About That Bass and Dear Future Husband

I feel like all about that base predated a new type of body judgment that shames non-curvy women. I don’t know if that’s what she intended by it, but it really doesn’t feel like a body positive song

This song reminds Me lyrically of “No One Else” by Weezer, except that song is good and the weird creepy lyrics are on purpose to lead into “The World Has Turned and Left Me Here”.

Todd turned into a browbeaten husband in the course of a 14 minute video.

In a world that has "High School Sweethearts" by Melanie Martinez why do we NEED this? That at least had the sense to make her sound like she's been hurt before.

I do hope that Meghan Trainer learned how to cook at some point. I know that being rich and famous probably lets her avoid it, but it's just a generally good life skill, especially as her star wanes.

I'm somewhat of a woman, and this song put me off marriage.

Seven years later, and no one mentions the brilliance of closing the video with Tammy Wynette's D-I-V-O-R-C-E? That was genius!

If me and Meghan were the last people on earth, well damn guess we're both going to be single for all of eternity.

The perfect companion piece to this song is "T
Yes, Dear" by the German musical comedy artist Bodo Wartke. Containing the immortal line "I'm gonna fetch it / My little hatchet".

"well never see your family more than mine" if we never see mine, there is an argument to never see yours. And I can make my peace with that

Meghan Trainor is basically Lena Dunham as a singer.

Watching this video seven years later knowing Meghan Trainor is married to and has two kids with Juní Cortez (Spy Kids), all I can think is, "Bro, I hope you knew what you were getting into."

Meghan Trainor has been a 40 year old Karen since she was 20 it’s kind of impressive.

It's 2024 and she's still making awful doowop garbage.
Mother in 2023 was so cringe and pandering. "Mansplaining" in a lyric and a tacky "ur just a bum bum bum bum" with a sandman sample. She also has a song with Jason Derulo that samples Stand by Me, it's trash and boring. Been Like This featuring T Pain is even more mid and garbage. She has a song with Jimmy Fallon about pop tarts, it's so tacky,bad, and wtf. Let's leave Meghan Trainor back in the 2010s, no one asked for her in the 2020s and having in hit song in 2023.
EDIT: Whoops is so cringe

I don't think that Meghan Trainor's songs are meant to be taken seriously. Especially not when she doesn't even know what she's talking about. I don't think any woman would expect this from a marriage. In real life, marriages are about love, compromise, communication, and respect. I think mostly her songs are just "Bubble Gum" pop. She's not an expert on anything.

"this isn't some revelation, who's expecting you to come home and bake pies"? Uh honestly a lot more men than you'd think, actually. It's really sad.

If there's anything Meghan's career in hindsight has taught me, it's that she has a perfect one-word descriptor that starts with a C.

She's actually now married to Juni from the Spy Kids

The thing about Meghan Trainor is that her music isn't trained at women, it's aimed at pre-teen girls. And I'm not saying that to put down pre-teen girls, because they definitely deserve better music than this. But that's the idea with kinda like, shallow level girl-power-but-not-really things. It's supposed to be baby's first female empowerment song, but it does that by just going for a catchy tune you can think about uncritically, and a single-purpose line that's supposed to be cool like "don't expect me to cook".

And that future husband turned out to be former Spy Kid, Daryl Sabara.
