Australian Idol judge Meghan Trainor praises TikTok for saving her career – as she shares the sad truth behind her Grammy win eight years ago
Megan Trainor has praised social media platform TikTok for revitalizing her career after years of struggling to stay relevant.
The American pop star and Australian Idol judge, 27, shot to global fame in 2014 with her Grammy-winning single All About That Bass, but then struggled to replicate the same success.
However, she finally had a big comeback this year after her new single Made You Look went viral on TikTok as part of a dance challenge.

“When I got a Grammy, I thought all doors would open. [But] It was as if all the doors were closed. It felt like everything was twice as hard, if not a lot harder,’ Trainor told The Daily Telegraph.
“I felt like I was on a slope that was going down, down. TikTok dragged me out of this dark place and this music, now everyone is saying a comeback.
Trainor, who is also a popular TikTok personality, praised the Chinese platform for allowing him to connect on an authentic level with his fans.

Meanwhile, the singer-songwriter has been spending time in Australia filming the upcoming Australian Idol reboot alongside fellow stars Kyle Sandilands, Amy Shark and Harry Connick Jr.
She was joined for the trip by her husband Daryl Sabara and their son Riley, one.
Trainor even told The Daily Telegraph that she and Daryl were trying to have another baby while staying Down Under, to no avail.

‘We were trying (to get pregnant) when we were in Australia because we wanted to be able to say we conceived you in Australia, that would have been a cool story to tell but I think the time change was so hard on my body that I couldn’t hold onto, but we’ll try again now that we’re home and relaxing,’ she said.
The hitmaker married Sabara – a former child star most famous for playing Juni Cortez in the Spy Kids film series – in 2018 after meeting him at a house party in 2014.
Australian Idol will air on Channel Seven and Seven Plus in 2023.
