Meghan Trainor is an American singer, songwriter, and producer. Her career began in 2010 and is still ongoing. She became famous after her performance in 2014 debut single "all about that bass" which topped the US hot billboard 100 for eight consecutive weeks; and other countries such as Canada, Australia, Germany, and the United Kingdom. In this blog post I will be critically analyzing the implicit message and meaning of the music video of the song "all about that bass".

The main idea of the music video is to show the viewer that it doesn't matter if you are fat, and should not be ashamed of your body. We know that since we can see that in the video there is a fat looking, confident man dancing all the time, showing that he doesn't care about his body and what people think of it at all. A symbol of that in the music video is that all of the dancers and characters are fat to try and convince people that you shouldn't be ashamed of your body. Here is some lyrics in the song that goes back to my point that they shouldn't care what people think about their body: "My mama told me don't worry about your size, she says boys like a little more booty to hold at night".

The main message of the video is showing the viewers that nowadays, fat people are not accepted in society and made fun of all the time, by most people in society. It shows us in the music video that the skinny lady is looking over like she doesn't accept the fact that they are gat, but they just ignore and continue dancing. 

All about that bass is a song to promote the idea of body positivity and that your beautiful no matter matter your size or shape. The song is trying to show fat people not to be affected by those people in society that do not want to accept you and always judge you all the time. It's also trying to show those people that judge, to accept those people in society.
