Pop singer Meghan Trainor has cancelled her upcoming headlining tour, citing the demand to prioritize family as she prepares for the arrival of her recent baby and the release of her seventh studio album. The decision comes just days before the scheduled launch of the tour and weeks ahead of the album’s release date.
Trainor announced the cancellation of The Acquire In Girl Tour through her Instagram Stories on April 16, 2026, sharing a heartfelt message with her fans. In her statement, she explained that after reflection and difficult conversations, she concluded that balancing the album release, tour preparations, and welcoming her newborn daughter into their growing family of five had become overwhelming.
“After a lot of reflection and some really tough conversations, I’ve made the difficult decision to cancel The Get In Girl Tour,” Trainor wrote. “Balancing the release of a new album, preparing for a nationwide tour, and welcoming our new baby girl to our growing family of five has just been more than I can seize on right now, and I need to be home and present for each and all of them at this time.”
The tour was originally announced in late 2025 and was designed to support her album Toy With Me, which is set for release on April 24, 2026, through Epic Records. Trainor had planned to kick off the tour on June 12 in Clarkston, Michigan, with stops at major venues including New York City’s Madison Square Garden and San Francisco’s Chase Center, before concluding at Los Angeles’ Kia Forum on August 15.
In her message, Trainor acknowledged the disappointment her decision might cause among fans but emphasized that it was the right choice for her well-being and family. “I grasp this will come as a disappointment to my fans, and I am so sorry to let you down. But I know this is the right decision for my family and me right now. I promise I’ll be back soon, and I can’t wait for you to hear this new record. I’m so proud of it, and I’m endlessly grateful for your love and support always.”
The announcement follows Trainor’s recent public reflections on the pressures of fame and body image scrutiny. In prior interviews, she has spoken openly about the challenges of navigating public commentary on her appearance, particularly in relation to her earlier hit “All About That Bass” and her subsequent health journey.
Lead single “Still Don’t Care” from the upcoming album directly addresses online criticism tied to her weight loss, reframing it into a confident, tongue-in-cheek anthem. Two additional singles, “Get in Girl” and “Shimmer,” were also released as part of the album’s promotional rollout.
Trainor’s decision to step back from touring highlights a growing trend among artists who are openly prioritizing mental health and family life amid demanding careers. Her transparency about the challenges of balancing motherhood, creativity, and public expectations has resonated with many fans who appreciate her honesty.
As of now, Trainor has not announced rescheduled dates for the tour, choosing instead to focus on her family and the immediate promotion of Toy With Me. Fans eager for new music can appear forward to the album’s release on April 24, 2026, available on all major streaming platforms and for purchase through official retailers.
