It’s been eight years since Meghan Trainor went on tour, and the star takes Billboard behind the scenes of The Timeless Tour at her stop at Madison Square Garden in New York. She talks about what it’s like to bring her husband, Daryl Sabara, and kids on tour with her, what she missed about touring and more!
Meghan Trainor:
Don’t TikTok that, goddamn it! Here we go. Damn it! Do we really want to film this for Billboard? Here we go … It’s been, like, eight years since I’ve toured. I talk about it every night with my crowds because I thank them for waiting for me. It’s been incredible to come back and see the fans, and there’s so many families that come out, and they make signs that say, like, ‘I was here eight years ago, and now I’m grown up,’ which is crazy to me.
So we’ve been crushing it, and my husband and I are like, ‘Do we like this? Like, are we good at this?’ Playing MSG is a bucket list, for sure a dream come true. I still don’t believe it until I get on the stage.
My main goal tonight is don’t cry. Don’t cry. Everyone today has treated me like it’s my birthday, and it’s been a bigger deal than like, going to award shows. They’re like, “Happy MSG Day!”
A day in the life on tour with me and my kids. We wake up early with the babies. They wake up around 7:30 — 8 if we’re lucky. We leave early. Daryl and I go to the venue because the kids have to take a nap at the hotel, and then they meet us at the venue. I do vocal warm-ups on the way to the venue, and at 4:15 I do the VIP sound check where I sing a song.
Keep watching for more!
