Meghan Trainor is making headlines once again, but this time it’s not about her catchy tunes. The pop star recently canceled her highly anticipated Get In Girl Tour, leaving fans shocked and some online users less than kind. Enter Chris Olsen, Trainor’s best friend, who took to TikTok to defend her against the online barrage of negativity that followed the announcement. He addressed the unsettlingly toxic nature of social media comments and questioned why some people feel the need to tear others down.
In her heartfelt Instagram Story, Trainor explained that she has a lot on her plate—balancing a new album and motherhood with her two sons and newborn daughter Mikey Moon, who joined the family via surrogate in January. It’s a classic case of prioritizing family over the hustle of showbiz, which we can all appreciate, right? As Olsen pointed out, the energy it takes to spread hate is misplaced; life is too short to waste it on negativity. Let’s face it, many of us would rather binge-watch a good series than engage in online warfare.
With her seventh studio album, Toy With Me, dropping soon, here’s hoping Trainor finds the break she needs and returns with more incredible music. After all, family comes first, and it seems she’s choosing to embrace that unapologetically. Are we ready for a future drop with a side of compassion?
