Meghan Trainor’s currently in the news over a photoshopping incident involving her new music video for the single, “Me Too.” She requested the video be taken down after discovering her waist had been digitally slimmed down. Talking to Good Morning America, Trainor said, “When it was up, I saw my fans posting clips of this dance scene and I was like, ‘Why are the fans messing with my waist?’ and then I looked at my video and I was like, ‘It’s my own video.'” The original unaltered video is now back online.

Trainor just released her new album, Thank You, which featured the lead single “NO.” “NO” has already achieved Platinum status and “Me Too” will begin receiving airplay on May 16th.
