Meghan Trainor on Best New Artist GRAMMY Odds: ‘I Feel Like I Already Won’

FUSE TV - Meghan Trainor on Best New Artist GRAMMY Odds: ‘I Feel Like I Already Won’

“Basically, we’ve been going out to dinner a lot to celebrate,” Meghan Trainor excitedly tells Fuse. And who can blame her? The 21-year-old recently scored the fourth Top 20 single from her debut album, Title; delivered a buzzed-about performance at the 2015 American Music Awards; watched Title turn platinum after a No. 1 debut in January; and scored a best new artist nomination at the GRAMMY Awards on Monday (Dec. 7). 

After scoring record of the year and song of the year GRAMMY nominations for her No. 1 smash “All About That Bass” last year, Trainor says that a best new artist nod is even more special.

“This one is extra important to me, because my whole life, I wanted to be an artist,” she says on the phone on Tuesday. “And I had a lot of people say stuff like, ‘You should go to school! You should be a teacher! It’s not going to work out for you!’ Finally being here, and having the GRAMMYS notice me as an artist, is more than any dream could come true ever. I feel like I already won, because I’m an artist now. It’s official.”
