Meghan Trainor says that being a pop star is a job with no day-offs. She finds the jobs of artists and singers very exhausting because they normally don’t have any day offs.
She says that the public does not know that pop stars work themselves almost to no end just to make their piece or music perfect.
The singer, who rose to prominence because of her song “All About the Bass,” admits that she is currently enjoying her newfound fame but still thinks that being a pop star is a very tough and exhausting job, details Yahoo! News.
She narrated that she had the opportunity to talk to Jessie J one time and the rapper told her that she only had one day off in the last four months. Meghan disclosed that she quipped an expletive upon hearing what Jessie J told her, surprised that the female rapper worked for four straight months.
Hard work always pays off
Startled about the statement of Jessie J, Meghan asked what was the reason for not having any day off in four straight months and Jessie J, matter-of-factly, stated that it’s how artist get to become number one.
As always, hard work pays off. Jessie J and most of today’s generation of pop artists believe and abide by that time-tested formula for success in whatever endeavor they might preoccupy themselves with.
Jessie J also knows that many of the artists before her have come to realize that fact that’s why most of them have remained very successful in the business long after they broke into the music scene.
The perks of being a celebrity
Despite the exhausting and almost tireless job of pop stars, referring to it as downsides, Meghan says that there are also aspects of being a celebrity that she likes a lot too. The first on her list is the advantage of flying first or business class in all of her gigs in various places.
The 21-year-old singer also revealed that being a celebrity also takes so much of her usual diet. She says that pop artists need to be careful with their diet because it’s where they draw their energies to be able to sustain a no-day off job.
Meghan disclosed that she has been adjusting her own diet to be able to keep herself healthy and fit so she can really attend to her hectic schedule as one of today’s in-demand pop artists. She said that from regularly eating pizza, she has turned to eating chicken and broccoli.
Being an A-List pop star also gives critics the right to thoroughly scrutinize her life inside and out. She has been widely criticized for hitting slimmer girls and for pointing out that most girls today are no longer lady-like. Meghan says she has learned to take them all in stride lest she messes it all up.
Meghan has just released her second single “Lips Are Movin.”
