The “Mother” singer wore athleisure in her video and balanced on the tip of her toes on an upturned dumbbell instead of stilettos. Fans quickly flooded the comments with remarks about her physical transformation, with some writing, “I didn’t even recognize her,” and comparing her appearance to other celebrities.
The following day, Trainor responded with a cheeky TikTok. She lip-synced to Megan Thee Stallion’s track “Her,” mouthing, “I don’t care if these bitches don’t like me. ‘Cuz like I’m pretty as f—. Just the other day, I heard a hoe say, matter of fact what could a hoe say with a face like this and bitch this paid.” She captioned the clip, “Glam team really did that ?@Danyul Brown @eros @hairbyiggy #megantheestallion.”
This response came after months of public discussion about Trainor’s weight loss journey. In March, she revealed on Instagram that she started using the GLP-1 medication Mounjaro. Doctors prescribe the drug for Type 2 diabetes, but many people also use it for weight management.
At the Billboard Women in Music Awards that month, she said, “I’ve worked with a dietician, made huge lifestyle changes, started exercising with a trainer, and yes, I used science and support (shout-out to Mounjaro!) to help me after my 2nd pregnancy.”
She later revealed on her and husband Daryl Sabara’s podcast, Workin’ On It, that both were taking Mounjaro together, adding, “We stay in the gym, we work out, we eat right, and we just noticed that we were less hungry.”
In March, Trainor also disclosed she underwent a breast augmentation after giving birth to two children, noting, “I have never been more comfortable in my body.” (via People)
