Meghan Trainor signed with United Talent Agency (UTA) for global representation in live touring, brand partnerships, filmed entertainment, digital media and theatre, the agency announced.
Trainor released her seventh studio album, Toy With Me, in April. The record saw Trainor address online comments. Sitting down with Billboard back in April, she shared the inspiration for her latest album’s name came from playing toys with her kids, stating, “I want my music to take me back to childhood when everything was easier and better and lighter.”
Trainor’s 2015 album Title hit No. 1 on the Billboard 200, while 2016’s Thank You peaked at No. 3. In 2025, Trainor received the Hitmaker Award at the Billboard Women in Music event. When she spoke to Billboard ahead of receiving the honor, she said she considered a hit song something her at the time “three-year-old would know,” noting that she believes the biggest hits to be cross-generational.
In 2014, her single “All About That Bass” spent eight weeks atop the Billboard Hot 100 and a total of 47 weeks on the chart. Her 2016 single, “No,” peaked at No. 3. Her song “Criminals” was the theme song for Netflix’s The Perfect Couple, which helped the song land on the Hot 100.
In 2016, Trainor won the Grammy Award for Best New Artist.
She has also made appearances as a judge, coach and mentor on The Voice, The Voice UK, The Four and Australian Idol.
Trainor is managed by Bond Artist Management’s Nikola Barisic and represented by Myman Greenspan Fox’s Aaron Rosenberg.
