Meghan Trainor pulled her music video from the Internet after discovering she’d been photoshopped
“My waist is not that teeny."
Nantucket native Meghan Trainor is not about that photoshop. The singer pulled the music video for her latest single, “Me Too,” after she said her body was digitally altered in it without her consent.
The video, which was released briefly on Monday before being taken down, showed Trainor in a tight, long-sleeved blue dress. According to Trainor, her waist was made to appear smaller than it actually is.

At first, when Trainor saw images from the video, she said she thought that fans were photoshopping screen grabs from the video.
“I saw fans posting it and was like, ‘Why are fans ruining my waist? Are you kidding?’” Trainor told USA Today, noting that she contacted the video’s editors and demanded they undo the alterations.
“Why would they ever be like, ‘Let’s break her ribs!’ It’s insulting, it’s rude,” she told the publication. “Especially because I’m the only artist who talks about it.”
She also took to Snapchat to express her dissent.

“My waist is not that teeny. I had a bomb waist that night. I don’t know why they didn’t like my waist,” she said in the clip. “But I didn’t approve that video, and it went out for the world, so I’m embarrassed.”
Trainor discussed the issue on Bravo’s Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen Monday night, telling the host and audience that another version of her video has been made and will be released soon to her VEVO channel.
Update 5/10/16 1:58 p.m.: A new version of Trainor’s video was posted online Monday afternoon. Watch it below:
