* BrokenAesop: "All About That Bass" is supposed to celebrate curves, but gives the impression that you need men to validate your appearance and jokingly denounces skinny people.

Real-life people aren't "characters".


* BaseBreakingCharacter: Meghan herself is pretty divisive. Some see her as a fun new star with a positive message and a unique style, while others see her as misguided at best or completely out of her depth when it comes to the messages of her songs. "Thank You", with its completely different sound and arguably more shallow lyrics doesn't help the divide. She also comes off as rather sexist in some of her views.

* RefrainFromAssuming: "No Excuses" is not called "Someone Else", even though those words show up way more in the song than the title does.

UI is now Flame Bait. Example will be zapped because it does not provide evidence that it is more than one person's thinking.

* UnfortunateImplications: [[http://www.nylon.com/articles/why-meghan-trainor-bothers-us One of her songs' defining traits]], for better or worse.
** "All About That Bass" is supposed to be a body-positivity song, focusing especially on curves. But the song denounces skinny people and justifies it with a weak JustJokingJustification.
** "Dear Future Husband" is intended to be about treating women properly and being a good partner, but the song and the video include some outdated anti-feminist views like "women are typically housewives", and the tone is much more aggressive and demanding than the message is said to be. The lyrics also have some underlying sexism toward men and promotes unrealistic expectations, such as implying a man should never disagree with his woman because "she's never wrong".
*** Also the line "And know we'll never see your family more than mine" is pointed out by many to be a tactic used in DomesticAbuse.
** "Me Too", while trying to be a song about how great her life is, has the line "If I was you, I'd wanna be me too", which is essentially her bragging about how the listener is worse than her. In other words, she is better than you, and you are worse than her. While {{Boastful Rap}}s nowadays are nothing new, this one comes in a more unwelcoming sense.

** "All About That Bass" is celebrated by some people for being an example of body positivity for heavy set figures in modern music, but others see the song as a BrokenAesop that ''should'' have been about promoting body positivity as a whole and not just towards BigBeautifulWomen. Others took issue with the lyrics implying that self-confidence actually came from male validation.
