"Radio City, you all ready to have a good night?" Meghan Trainor asked at the top of her show at New York City's famed venue Saturday night. "All my ladies scream one time!" Then, a deafening roar of adolescents overpowered the 22-year-old pop star on stage — a banshee wail that was as loud as an AC/DC or My Bloody Valentine concert.
Her fans likely won't either: the room was filled with overwhelmed, ecstatic children and teens accompanied by moms or dads. So it's no surprise Trainor (seen above at her July 16 tour stop at WaMu Theater in Seattle) delivered a wholesome, G-rated event — with nary an F-Bomb dropped. Her Friday night concert also turned into something of a family affair. Early on, she thanked her mother, Kelly, for her support and for serving as a loyal wardrobe-aide throughout the trek, before launching into a peppy rendition of "Mom." Immediately following, Trainor said, "I can't do a mom song without doing a dad song." So when she performed "Dance Like Yo Daddy," she also invited her father, Gary, on stage to shimmy and shake. The rest of the evening was peppered with praise for her record company ("My Epic Records family — I hope I make you proud!") as well as her friends and loved ones.
