Meghan Trainor is known for her music hits, but after her Billboard interview she’ll also be known now for misses when it comes to civic duties. In what Us Weekly included as “WTF quotes” from the cover story interview, Trainor said she hasn’t voted and doesn’t have any desire to do so.
As Billboard puts it, “she’s not as politically savvy as some stars.” Many celebrities are known for gracing campaigns like Rock the Vote with their presence. Trainor just sounds like another typical uneducated millennial though when it comes to this election, which she tunes out any talk about. She supports LGBT rights and says things like “I think it’s ridiculous that random crazy people can buy guns.”
“I should be way more aware, and if it was [Clinton] or Trump, I’d definitely vote for her. But I’ve never voted and I don’t have any desire to,” she told Billboard.
The interview also describes Trainor as being “ambivalent about being a spokesperson for body sensitivity,” to which Trainor says “I don’t really have a choice” when it comes to being a role model. Body sensitivity isn’t the only thing Trainor is ambivalent about though if she never votes.
At 22, Trainor is sadly a lot like other young people her age who have been unengaged and have historically low voter turnouts.
