Meghan Trainor credits dramatic weight loss to biohacking, says 'science is the secret'
After months of speculation surrounding her recent weight loss, Meghan Trainor is crediting her physical transformation to "science."
While attending the 2025 Billboard Women in Music event over the weekend, the "All About That Bass" singer opened up about the steps she's taken to "biohack" her body.
"Science is the secret. I love it," the mom of two told Entertainment Tonight when asked about the secret behind her new look. "I learned a lot of tricks that I had no idea [about]. I was working out so incorrectly wrong for so long. I was running and doing cardio and my body was inflamed, always."
"I'm trying to biohack my body," she added. "So anything that'll help me age backward, I'm into it."
"I just learned about the NADs [supplements]. I was like, 'Make me Hailey Bieber. I'll do it. I'll take it' … I'm trying all the things. I love a doctor explaining stuff to me."
NADs, or nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, "helps keep our cells functioning properly," according to Emma Wedgwood, an advanced nurse practitioner.
"It plays an essential role in energy production by converting the food we eat into the fuel our cells need," Wedgwood told GQ last year. "NAD comes in two forms, NAD+ and NADH, both working together to ensure that our bodies have the energy they need to perform vital functions. Beyond energy, NAD also supports processes like DNA repair and immune health. As we get older, NAD+ levels tend to drop, which can affect our energy and cell regeneration, making it a focus in anti-ageing and wellness research."
When it comes to her health and fitness, Trainor has always been open about her journey throughout the years.
The "Been Like This" songstress previously lost 60 lbs after giving birth to her first son.
"I was my heaviest I've ever been. I was like over 200 pounds when I C-sectioned him out. I just wasn't feeling great," Trainor told ET Canada in 2022. She "challenged" herself to lose the weight gradually.
"I was like, 'If I can survive a C-section, I can do anything!' – [and] I was very dedicated and I started seeing the pounds come off like one week at a time, one pound… I learned that I do like healthy food and I learned what portions mean. And I learned my brain is so happy when I exercise, so I'm just [feeling] better than ever."

Seth Rollins has expressed a strong desire to share the ring with John Cena one more time before the 17-time World Champion's retirement at the end of 2025. In a new interview with Entertainment Tonight, Rollins called out his former rival, referencing their heated history. This comes as Cena is in the midst of his final year as an active competitor, a heel "retirement tour" as the Undisputed WWE Champion. This has led many WWE fans to speculate about which classic rivalries Cena might revisit before he hangs up his boots for good. When asked about facing Cena again, Rollins stated, "I hope so. I hope so." He then referenced a more recent, positive experience teaming with Cena in India in September 2023. "John and I teamed a couple of years ago in India at a random show, a wonderful show there. I teamed with him and it was one of the wildest experiences I've ever had in a ring." Despite their successful team-up, Rollins made his competitive intentions clear. "I would love to face off with him one more time and get another chance to break his big old nose," Rollins declared. He immediately warned: "This knee is coming for you, John. I'd love to get one in before he hangs it up."

The most daring outfits Dakota Johnson has ever worn, from see-through dresses to mismatched shoes
When it comes to fashion, Dakota Johnson has a chic and seemingly effortless style. However, the "Fifty Shades of Grey" star also regularly experiments with daring looks. She's worn sheer dresses, plunging necklines, mismatched shoes, and more. If you somehow haven't noticed, Dakota Johnson has been everywhere lately. She made multiple appearances at the Cannes Film Festival in May, has since been photographed all over New York City, and has appeared on multiple late-night talk shows this month. The 35-year-old actor has, of course, been promoting her film "Materialists," which she stars in alongside Pedro Pascal and Chris Evans. All the while, she's stood out in her signature style: chic, effortless outfits that are also quite bold. Here's a look at the most daring looks she's worn lately, and ones she's donned in the past. Dakota Johnson's bold red-carpet style can be traced back to her 2012 appearance at a GQ party. For the event, she wore a long-sleeved lace top over a black bra and tucked the former into high-waisted leather pants. By 2013, she was already elevating her daring fashion. At the LACMA Art + Film Gala that year, she wore a black Gucci dress with multiple daring elements. It had netted sleeves up top, golden feathers across her chest, and green fringe on her skirt. The actor showed the playful side of her style in 2015. While in New York City, she wore a fuzzy green vest over a tan jumpsuit. And she didn't stop there. Johnson also wore strappy heels and sunglasses that made the casual outfit look dramatic and glam. For the UK premiere of "Fifty Shades of Grey," Johnson wore a striking Saint Laurent gown. She then attended the 2015 Venice Film Festival in a backless, blush-colored gown. The Prada design hugged her body in the front and revealed her tattoos on her back. Johnson embraced sheer fashion again for the 2015 "Trumbo" premiere. She walked the red carpet that night in a black velvet gown with sheer sleeves and matching mesh panels across her waist and legs. Plunging necklines remained a staple of the actor's wardrobe in 2017. At the "Fifty Shades Darker" premiere that year, Johnson arrived in a shapeless Valentino gown with a V-neckline that plunged below her chest. A few weeks later, she went full metallic for the Oscars. Her gold Gucci gown was made from satin. It had a high pleated neckline, long sleeves, and an oversize bow at the waist. She then stood out at the Green Carpet Fashion Awards in a semi-sheer Gucci gown. The skin-revealing design was made from black tulle, Swarovski crystals, and recycled brass. Johnson embraced the "no-shirt" trend at the 2017 Hollywood Film Awards. She wore a vibrant red suit jacket with no shirt underneath, matching trousers, and a diamond choker. Equally daring were her mismatched heels, which had giant crystals on one shoe but not the other. In 2018, the actor put a glamorous twist on the sheer trend at the Venice Film Festival. She later opted for a dramatic gown at the Marrakech Film Festival. Johnson swapped her usual gowns for a bold minidress in 2019. She walked the red carpet at "The Peanut Butter Falcon" screening in a Saint Laurent design. It featured a large bow as a top, a triangle cutout at the chest, and all-over crystal designs. Johnson wore one of her most daring and stunning looks at the 2021 Venice Film Festival. Her silver Gucci gown had a plunging neckline, a see-through bodice and skirt, and crystal fringe. The see-through corset she wore to "The Lost Daughter" premiere was also bold. Johnson paired it with leather pants, pointed pumps, and a diamond necklace. However, she took her daring fashion to another level the next day. While meeting fans in New York City, Johnson was photographed wearing a cream-colored dress with a high slit in its skirt that almost reached her hips. In November 2021, Johnson attended a fashion show in a fringe minidress. Her Gucci frock was held together by sparkling belts strapped across her chest, and matched her Gucci-logo tights. She wore Gucci again in December 2021. The look was even more eye-catching than her last. She wore pink satin pants — they were so wide they resembled a skirt — and a cropped, crystal-covered top that was sleeveless with a deep V-neckline. At the 2022 Met Gala, Johnson wore a see-through catsuit made from black lace. The "naked" design from Gucci was covered with long silver fringe and delicate sparkles. To kick off 2023, Johnson wore her own version of a Canadian tuxedo. The Magda Butrym look included a denim bustier, a matching trench coat, and baggy jeans. She went the opposite direction in May that year. In 2024, Johnson wore the most sheer gown of her career. At the "Madame Web" premiere, Johnson sported a custom chainmail gown from Gucci that sparkled in the light. It was sleeveless, plunged at the neckline, and see-through. Though the gown did appear to have a small lining, it matched the actor's skin tone perfectly and created the illusion that she was only wearing the crystal links. Johnson is still staying loyal to sheer clothes in 2025. In early June, she was photographed walking around New York City in a maroon bodysuit beneath a black tulle dress. The latter had long sleeves, a wrapped neckline, and a flared skirt, making for a classic silhouette. However, it was entirely see-through.

All-American Rejects' Tyson Ritter planning to go ‘full-frontal' on OnlyFans
All-American Rejects frontman Tyson Ritter is planning to go 'full-frontal' on OnlyFans. The 41-year-old rocker shared the career update while promoting the band's latest singles. 'I'm starting an OnlyFans. And the All-American Rejects are behind me doing it,' he told GQ in a new interview. Ritter said his OnlyFans followers can expect 'full-frontal rock and roll,' though he kept what he meant by that deliberately vague. Subscriptions are currently free for exclusive content, though Ritter joked that he wouldn't be against charging '69 cents' just because he's 'cheeky.' The decision to launch an account on the platform, typically known for its sexual content, came after the band went viral for performing 12 surprise concerts over the course of 10 days at tiny venues across the country. 'I don't think anybody would have expected the All-American Rejects to make a ripple in the water ever again,' Ritter said about their recent resurgence. 'So the excitement behind this whole thing is like, Where else can we be disruptive?' Ritter said they've always been a band who's got 'a tongue bursting through the cheek,' so why not ride the wave with 'a little peen bursting through a zipper' on OnlyFans. The All-American Rejects were formed in Oklahoma in 1999 and reached peak popularity in the mid-to-late aughts with hits like 'Gives You Hell' and 'Dirty Little Secret.' Their last studio album, 'Kids in the Street,' was released in 2012. Following an unofficial hiatus that began around 2020, the band announced their latest album this March. Their new songs 'Sandbox' and 'Easy Come Easy Go' were both released on Thursday. A 'dirty version' of the latter track is available on OnlyFans.
