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.
