Your support makes all the difference.Meghan Trainor has removed her new video "Me Too" from the internet because she claims it was heavily Photoshopped.
The 22-year-old American singer posted a series of Snapchat posts condemning the way her waist had been manipulated to look smaller.
“They photoshopped the c**p out of me and I'm so sick of it, I'm over it. So I took it down until they fix it.“
“My waist is not that teeny, I had a bomb waist that night, I don't know why they didn't like my waist,” said Trainor. “I didn't approve that video and it went out to the world so I'm embarrassed.”
In an interview on Watch What Happens Live, Trainor explained she had approved a new video which will be uploaded tomorrow.
“I called the gods of Vevo and I said take that down now. But I fixed it, I approved a new version, and it’s coming out like tomorrow morning,” she said.
The original video was posted online but was quickly removed.
Trainor has been vocal about Photoshopping in the past. In her hit "In All About That Bass" she sings, “I see the magazines working that Photoshop, we know that ain't real, come on now make it stop.”
A representative for Trainor did not immediately respond to request for comment.
