Meghan Trainor

Meghan Trainor was born on December 22, 1993, in Nantucket, Massachusetts, and grew up in a musical family. She began writing songs at the age of 11 and learned to play guitar, piano, and ukulele. By her teenage years, she had already written and produced three independently released albums. She attended the Berklee College of Music’s summer program and began her career writing songs for other artists, honing her skills in Nashville’s competitive songwriting scene.

Trainor’s breakthrough came in 2014 with the release of “All About That Bass,” a body-positive anthem that spent eight weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and became a global phenomenon, selling over 11 million copies worldwide. The song earned her a Grammy nomination and launched her into mainstream stardom. Her debut album, “Title” (2015), debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, and she won the Grammy Award for Best New Artist that year, cementing her status as a major pop star.

Following her initial success, Trainor released several more albums including “Thank You” (2016), “Treat Myself” (2020), and “Takin’ It Back” (2022). While subsequent albums did not match the commercial peak of her debut, she maintained a loyal fan base and continued to score hits. She also expanded into television, serving as a judge on “The Four: Battle for Stardom” and later joining the panel on talent competition shows. Her songwriting for other artists has also been a consistent source of income.

Trainor married actor Daryl Sabara in 2018, and the couple has welcomed children together. Beyond performing, her songwriting catalog generates substantial royalty income, and she has earned through brand partnerships and television appearances. Her combination of performing, songwriting, and media presence has helped her accumulate an estimated net worth of $30 million by 2026.
