Meghan Trainor has canceled what was slated to be her “Get In Girl” tour, citing the difficulties of balancing work and family in the wake of welcoming a new baby.
The pop singer shared a message on social media about the tour cancellation, apologizing to fans who were looking forward to the shows. “After a lot of reflection and some really tough conversations, I’ve made the difficult decision to cancel The Get In Girl Tour,” she 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 take on right now, and I need to be home and present for each and all of them at this time.”
She said that she understands that fans may be disappointed, but that “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.”
Trainor initially announced the “Get In Girl” tour last November and was set to kick it off on June 12 in Clarkston, Michigan. She had stops planned for New York City’s Madison Square Garden and San Francisco’s Chase Center, and was slated to wrap up the summer jaunt at Los Angeles’ Kia Forum on August 15. Some people online suspected that low ticket sales may partly be to blame for the cancellation, as seating maps from last month showed that most seats at some venues had not been purchased.
In January, Trainor welcomed her third child with husband Daryl Sabara via surrogate, sharing news of their growing family on social media. “We are over the moon in love with this precious girl,” she wrote. “Riley and Barry have been so excited, they even got to choose her middle name. We are going to enjoy our family time now, love you all.”
Trainor is currently gearing up for the release of her seventh full-length album, “Toy With Me,” on April 24.
