Meghan Trainor changes lyrics to 'All About That Bass' following weight loss
Meghan Trainor changed the lyrics to her body-positive hit 'All About That Bass' during a recent performance in the wake of her weight loss. The 31-year-old singer performed the song on May 10 at iHeartRadio's KIIS-FM Wango Tango concert in Huntington Beach, California, and included some altered lyrics. Instead of singing the line, 'Yeah it's pretty clear, I ain't no size two,' she sang, 'Yeah it's pretty clear, I got some new boobs,' according to video of the performance shared on Instagram by KIIS-FM. Trainor shared on her podcast in November 2024 that she planned on getting a 'boob job,' and then revealed on Instagram in March that she had a breast augmentation procedure done. The mother of two also shared on Instagram in March that she has been taking the weight-loss drug Mounjaro after giving birth to her second child. 'No, I don't look like I did 10 years ago,' she wrote. 'I've been on a journey to be the healthiest, strongest version of myself for my kids and for me. I've worked with a dietician, made huge lifestyle changes, started exercising with a trainer, and yes, I used science and support (shoutout to Mounjaro!) to help me after my 2nd pregnancy. And I'm so glad I did because I feel great.' The pop star also has spoken about how she has incorporated strength training sessions with her husband into her routine. 'I just look at all the years that I wasted doing hard cardio or trying to be a runner,' she told Women's Health in January. 'My body was always just angry and inflamed. I was like, 'What's wrong with me? Why can't I do this?'' she told the publication. 'I know now that my body enjoys lifting weights and it doesn't make you big and bulky.' She previously lost 60 pounds after she welcomed her first child, Riley, who was born in February 2021. 'I did it the healthy way, the long way, the one pound a week way. And it's a proud accomplishment that I never thought I could ever do,' she told People in 2023.

Huntington City Beach to host Wango Tango concert in May
Following a three-year absence, the Wango Tango concert is back, and will be held May 10 in Huntington Beach. Gwen Stefani and Doja Cat are headliners for the iHeartRadio concert at Huntington City Beach, officials announced Friday. On-air personality Ryan Seacrest of KIIS-FM will host the concert. 'We're thrilled to bring Wango Tango back, knowing fans have been eagerly awaiting its return,' KIIS-FM program director Beata Murphy said in a news release. 'This year, we're elevating the experience with an unforgettable day of music, energy, and beach side vibes — everything that defines SoCal. We're also shaking things up by featuring some of the biggest artists with extended set times, unlike ever before.' The Wango Tango lineup also includes Meghan Trainor, DJ David Guetta, Katseye, Nmixx, Xikers, A20 May and Hearts2Hearts. Five of the nine acts are considered Korean popular music (K-Pop). Code Four, the Huntington Beach-based event management company, is producing the event. Code Four has been operating the Pacific Airshow since acquiring it in 2018. In 2021, Code Four hosted an Afterburner Music Festival that ran for two nights concurrently with the air show, bringing live music back to Huntington City Beach for the first time in several years. More recently, the '80s-themed Darker Waves Festival came to the beach in November 2023. 'We are privileged to work with the world-class team at iHeartMedia on such an iconic brand, Wango Tango,' Code Four CEO Kevin Elliott said in the release. 'I grew up attending this festival as a KIIS-FM listener, and it's surreal for our team to now be working on delivering the next iteration of the Wango Tango experience here in my hometown of Huntington Beach, one of the most incredible venues in the world.' Tickets for Wango Tango go on sale Thursday at 10 a.m. to KIIS Club VIP members, and Friday at 10 a.m. to the general public.
