The star explained that she faced a huge amount of pressure to continue working despite her mental health feeling the strain.
“It was because I had, I can’t say who but I had a lot of people tell me like, ‘if you cancel on this 30 minute set, we’ll never play Meghan Trainor ever again.'”
“So, my mind was like, no I’ll keep going, I’ll keep going. And my body was like, bye. And my body had to tell me, instead of me being able to take a break.”
“So I was alone with my thoughts for way too long and I blew up. I freaked out and I freaked out for a long time,” she said. The star saw a phycologist for her issues, after she was forced to take a break from work to have vocal cord surgery.
