Meghan Trainor, the chart-topping pop star known for her infectious hooks and candid lyrics, has called off her highly anticipated "Get In Girl" tour just weeks before it was set to launch. The abrupt cancellation, announced on April 16, 2026, sent shockwaves through her fanbase and the summer concert circuit, with scheduled stops in major cities like New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Philadelphia, and more suddenly wiped from the calendar.
In a heartfelt message shared via Instagram and other social media platforms, Trainor addressed her fans directly: "After a lot of reflection and some really tough conversations, I’ve made the difficult decision to cancel The Get In Girl Tour." She went on to explain, "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 take on right now, and I need to be home and present for each and all of them at this time." According to Variety and TMZ, the singer’s statement was posted in full to her Instagram story, where she apologized to fans for the disappointment and promised, "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 "Get In Girl" tour was initially announced in November 2025 and was set to be a major event in the North American music scene, spanning 33 shows across the United States and Canada. The tour was scheduled to kick off on June 12, 2026, in Clarkston, Michigan, with stops at iconic venues such as Madison Square Garden in New York City, Chase Center in San Francisco, Hershey Park Stadium in Pennsylvania, and the Kia Forum in Los Angeles, among others. The final show was slated for August 15 in Los Angeles. Opening acts were set to include the Swedish pop duo Icona Pop and Trainor’s own brother, Ryan Trainor—a family affair in more ways than one.
For many fans, the news came as a major letdown. According to 94.5 PST, the cancellation was confirmed around 4:00 p.m. ET on April 16, and messages quickly appeared on Ticketmaster notifying ticket holders that events had been canceled. Ticketmaster further announced that refunds would be processed within 14 to 21 days from the original point of purchase, reassuring those who had already secured their seats for what was expected to be one of the summer’s hottest tours.
Trainor’s reasoning for the cancellation was deeply personal. The singer and her husband, actor Daryl Sabara, had just welcomed their third child—a baby girl named Mikey Moon Trainor—via surrogate in January 2026. In a joint Instagram post, the couple shared their joy: "Our baby girl Mikey Moon Trainor has finally made it to the world thanks to our incredible, superwoman surrogate." The post included a touching family photo, with sons Riley, age 5, and Barry, age 2, doting on their new baby sister. "We are over the moon in love with this precious girl. Riley and Barry have been so excited, they even got to choose her middle name," Trainor wrote, as reported by NBC News.
The timing of the tour—coinciding with the release of Trainor’s seventh studio album, "Toy With Me," scheduled for April 24, 2026—added to the pressure. The album features the single "Still Don't Care" and, according to TMZ, Trainor had just dropped the tracklist hours before announcing the tour’s cancellation. The whirlwind of album promotion, tour logistics, and new motherhood evidently proved too much at once. As Trainor candidly admitted, "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 take right now."
While the official reason for the cancellation centers on family and personal well-being, there was some online speculation that low ticket sales may have contributed. Variety noted that seating maps from the previous month showed large numbers of unsold seats at certain venues, fueling rumors that sluggish demand played a part in Trainor’s decision. However, Trainor herself made no mention of ticket sales in her public statements, focusing instead on her need to be present for her family during this pivotal moment.
The pop star’s decision to prioritize her family over professional commitments drew a wave of support from fellow artists and fans alike. Many praised her honesty and willingness to set boundaries, especially in an industry notorious for its relentless pace and demands. As TMZ put it, "How very 'mother' of her!?!"—a nod to Trainor’s open embrace of motherhood and her refusal to compromise her family’s needs.
For those who had eagerly anticipated the tour, there remains the consolation of new music on the horizon. Trainor has expressed excitement for fans to hear "Toy With Me," emphasizing how proud she is of the project. The album’s release is expected to be a major event in itself, with the artist promising to return to the stage in the future. "I promise I’ll be back soon," she reassured her followers.
In the meantime, the summer concert season will go on—with other artists filling the gap left by Trainor’s absence. Venues like Madison Square Garden, Xfinity Mobile Arena, and Hershey Park Stadium will still host a slew of major acts, as highlighted by 94.5 PST. But for many, Trainor’s tour was a unique draw—not just for her music, but for the sense of connection she fosters with her audience. Her decision to cancel, while disappointing, has only deepened that bond for some, as fans rally around her choice to put family first.
As the dust settles, Meghan Trainor’s story serves as a reminder that even pop stars must juggle the competing demands of career and home. Her openness about the challenges she faces—and her willingness to step back, at least for now—offers a rare glimpse behind the curtain of celebrity life. For Trainor and her family, the coming months promise precious time together and, for her fans, the promise of new music and a future return to the stage.
