MEGHAN TRAINOR —
THAT BASS TOUR
APRIL 23
Themes of self-confidence and
empowerment — together with
doo-wop, soul and bubblegum-
pop beats — have made this
talented singer-songwriter an
artist to watch. And after the
success of “All About That Bass”
and “Lips Are Movin”, it seems
only natural for the 21-year-old
to embark on a world tour to
celebrate these chart-toppers
and the January release of her
debut album,
Title.
