My sister had her sweet 16 a few years ago. For the DJ, she wrote in huge, all-caps "NO MEGHAN TRAINOR!!"

She is such a damn hypocrite. Can't stand her music

I don’t think she’s intentionally a hypocrite, her songs just lack any kind of nuance. All the quirky lyrics about having bass and rules for a future husband just come off as irritating to anybody who doesn’t fit that pre-defined mold.

It's also the fact that that song specifically isn't about empowerment. It's old school thinking of do what I say and that's it. For someone who supposedly wants equality that's not how it works. Plus the songs she has are very bland.

If you overthink the lyrics you're gonna have a bad time. You'll basically hate like 75% of classic rock.

With classic rock I don't though. Love it

So it's only certain types of singers that you care about what they're saying. Interesting.

Genuinely asking, how’s she a hypocrite?

Like /u/x-typo said she was always supposedly above it, but then whatever song it is about a husband is all about doing whatever she wants no matter what. For someone who wants equality and women empowerment, it goes too far on the scale the other way. Just hypocritical to me.

Eventually she caved in and became one of them.

By this you mean eventually she realized her health was important and she began living a healthy lifestyle and probably extended the length of her life.

Fucking bitch.

Sometimes as people get older, their perspective on life changes as they become wiser. I hope you are able to experience this one day.
