Meghan Trainor has canceled her entire "Get in Girl" tour, which was set to begin in June. The singer announced the decision on Instagram, stating that balancing a new album release, tour preparations, and welcoming her third child into her family of five was "more than I can take on right now." Trainor apologized to fans but promised to return soon and expressed excitement for her upcoming album, "Toy With Me," set to release on April 24.

The tour, announced in November, included major venues like Madison Square Garden and the United Center. Some social media users speculated about low ticket sales, while others criticized Trainor for using surrogacy to welcome her third child. Trainor’s close friend, Chris Olsen, defended her on TikTok, calling the backlash "predictably vicious."

Trainor and her husband, Daryl Sabara, welcomed their third child via surrogate in January. The singer has been open about the challenges of balancing her career and family life, including undergoing therapy to strengthen her marriage.
