Megan Trainor has praised social media platform TikTok for revitalising her career after years of struggling to remain relevant.
The US pop star and Australian Idol judge, 27, shot to global fame in 2014 with her Grammy winning single All About That Bass, but subsequently battled to replicate the same success.
However, she finally enjoyed a major comeback this year after her new single Made You Look went viral on TikTok as part of a dance challenge.

‘When I got a Grammy, I thought all of the doors would open. [But] It felt like every door shut. It felt like everything was twice as hard, if not way harder,’ Trainor told The Daily Telegraph.
‘It felt like I was on a slope going down, down down. TikTok dragged me out of that dark place and this music, now everyone is saying a comeback.’
Trainor, who is also a popular TikTok personality, praised the Chinese-owned platform for allowing her to connect on an authentic level with her fans.

Meanwhile, the singer-songwriter spent time in Australia filming the upcoming reboot of Australian Idol alongside fellow stars Kyle Sandilands, Amy Shark and Harry Connick Jr.
She was joined for the trip by her husband Daryl Sabara and their son Riley, one.
Trainor even told The Daily Telegraph that she and Daryl were trying for another baby while staying Down Under, to no avail.

‘We were trying (to fall pregnant) when we were in Australia because we wanted to be able to say we conceived you in Australia, it would have been a cool story to tell but I think the time change was so rocky on my body that I couldn’t latch on but we are going to try again now we are home and chilling,’ she said.
The hitmaker married Sabara – a former child star most famous for playing Juni Cortez in the Spy Kids film series – in 2018 after meeting him at a house party in 2014.
Australian Idol will air on Channel Seven and Seven Plus in 2023.
