Meghan Trainor has revealed the personal reason behind her decision to get breast implants, admitting she was tired of duct-taping her breasts into place before performances after becoming a mother. The singer, 32, said pregnancy, breastfeeding and weight loss had significantly changed her breasts, leaving her struggling with her appearance and confidence despite her career being built around body positivity.
After years of considering cosmetic surgery, she underwent breast augmentation in early 2025 and has since said she feels happier and more comfortable in her own skin. The 'All About That Bass' hitmaker, who shares three children with husband Daryl Sabara, has been remarkably candid about the physical and emotional changes that came with motherhood.
Her latest comments have also highlighted the contrast between the confident image she projected through her music and the personal insecurities she experienced away from the spotlight.
Meghan's Breast Implant Decision
Meghan's decision to undergo breast augmentation was not an overnight choice, as she had considered the procedure for years before finally going ahead with it. Following pregnancy, breastfeeding and weight loss, she noticed significant changes to her breasts, which she previously described as becoming empty, flat and uneven.
The changes became particularly frustrating when preparing for performances and trying on outfits for the stage. She often had to wear heavily supportive bras, which could spoil the appearance of her costumes and squeeze her sides, making getting dressed an uncomfortable experience.
However, it was her reliance on duct tape to keep her breasts in place that eventually became too much to tolerate. Speaking to USA Today in March 2025, Meghan recalled the discomfort of removing the tape after long, sweaty dance rehearsals, explaining: 'The duct taping sent me over the edge'.
She also described how painful the process had become, saying: 'Ripping off the tape and bringing skin with it, it hurt so bad'. The singer eventually decided she wanted to do something about it after consulting multiple doctors and weighing up her options.
Meghan underwent breast augmentation in early 2025, opting for Motiva SmoothSilk Ergonomix implants to achieve a natural-looking result rather than a dramatic transformation. She subsequently shared before-and-after photographs, openly discussing her experience instead of keeping the cosmetic procedure private.
The decision was also something she discussed with her husband, Daryl, although Meghan made clear that the choice was ultimately her own. She wanted to feel more comfortable in her clothes and happier with her appearance, rather than make the change to meet anybody else's expectations.
Meghan's Body Image Struggles
Despite becoming internationally recognised for her body-positive anthem 'All About That Bass', Meghan has admitted that the confidence expressed in the song did not always reflect how she genuinely felt about herself. The track became a worldwide hit, encouraging listeners to embrace their figures, but behind its empowering message, the singer was privately struggling with her own insecurities.
Reflecting on the song's message, she acknowledged that she had struggled with the very feelings its lyrics appeared to challenge. 'These are my insecurities, I wish [the self-confident lyrics were] my thoughts', she admitted.
Her comments offer a different perspective on the song's success and the pressures of promoting body acceptance while dealing with personal doubts. Although Meghan encouraged women to feel confident in their appearance, she recognised that projecting confidence through music did not automatically mean she had overcome her own struggles.
The singer has also credited therapy with helping her change the way she responds to criticism and negative comments online. Working with a therapist has helped her develop a healthier relationship with herself and become less affected by public scrutiny.
Meghan and Daryl, who married in 2018, are parents to sons Riley and Barry and daughter Mikey Moon, who was born via surrogate in January 2026. Her breast augmentation took place before the arrival of her third child, following the physical changes associated with her pregnancies with her two sons.
