She seems like such a sweetheart to me and her music is fun. What's the problem? Yall are always salty against someone. I'm sure in the industry hates her, she called them on their sh!t On her very first single. You're twisting her music to fit the fact you don't like her. AATB is about being secure in yourself even if you don't fit the industry's mold of what beautiful is, example being super skinny. The rest are fun pop songs. What's wrong with a woman being confident enough to demand someone treat her right or validate the fact that she's not a size 0 and she's still beautiful? If a guy was doing it we'd be praising him Compare that song to firework or born this way. Meghan's songs are about empowering herself, not others. I'm not twisting anything. It's all in the lyrics Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you did you would have noticed after the "skinny bitches" line she sings, "no I'm just playing, I know you think you're fat,But I'm here to tell you that, Every inch of you is perfect from the bottom to the top" It's called a joke if you were wondering or just couldn't understand the lyrics Yes, I did notice it, I'm not stupid. But what I am saying is that making a judgement based purely on what you hear isn't always the end of the story. There's other elements to consider. Saying "I'm just playing" afterwards did not wash with me AT ALL. My immediate reaction was to say: "No, I don't think you were." She spends her whole song bigging up one body type over another and then has the audacity to say she's just joking when she's been putting skinny women down for the entire song. And then saying "I know you think you're fat," afterwards is a horrible assumption that a woman should know better than to say. When you tell someone that they're insecure, they'll start to become that way, even if they weren't like that to begin with. Women are constantly reminded of how insecure we supposedly are to the point where we wonder if there's something wrong with us if we are secure with ourselves. It's a shame how in today's culture, we haven't evolved to the point where we're singing a song about "all body types are fine." Some people have tried to say that AATB is one of those songs but it clearly isn't. The song wouldn't have its title or its lyrics about having a little more booty if it was about non-curvy shapes too. The bit about saying that skinny girls are perfect too is such a cop-out and was potentially even suggested to her to be included as an afterthought, to stop her being criticised for skinny shaming. But the public weren't that dumb. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gypsy Life 118,907 Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Everyone who met her and worked with her had nothing but praise for her and her personality. So I'm afraid to tell you, that your dear insider friend, is indeed, lying. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

holy scheisse 22,254 Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 the industry probably disliked her bc she was vocal abt lots of things like when she would be photoshopped to be skinnier etc. in a way she was challenging the status quo. granted, she arrived with a body-confidence anthem at a time when it was suddenly a pop cultural thing to tirade against "body shaming." but still, she embodied that zeitgeist Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
