Pop star Meghan Trainor will finally headline the Minnesota State Fair Grandstand on Aug. 22.

Tickets are priced from $125.75 to $56 and go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday through Etix or by calling 800-514-3849.

Trainor, 31, was booked to play the Grandstand back in 2015, a year after she released her massive debut single “All About That Bass,” which hit No. 1 in 58 countries and earned a pair of Grammy nominations. But a vocal hemorrhage forced her to cancel a month’s worth of shows, including the Grandstand.

The Massachusetts native began singing in her church at the age of six and started writing songs and playing with the band Island Fusion as a teen. She also self-released three albums of original songs while in high school and turned down a full scholarship to the Berklee College of Music to pursue a songwriting career.

After spending time in Nashville writing for the likes of Rascal Flatts and Sabrina Carpenter, Trainor landed a deal with Epic Records. “All About That Bass” led the way for a string of mid-’10s hits, including “Lips Are Movin,” “Dear Future Husband,” “Like I’m Gonna Lose You,” “No” and “Me Too.” She won a best new artist Grammy in 2016.

In the time since, Trainor has continued to record while carving out a second career in reality television on “The Voice,” “The Four: Battle for Stardom,” “The Voice UK” and “Australian Idol.” Last year, she embarked on her first tour in eight years and sold nearly 260,000 tickets.

The Minnesota State Fair runs from Aug. 21 through Sept. 1. Trainor joins the previously announced headliners Old Dominion on Aug. 21, Atmosphere on Aug. 23, the joint bill of Melissa Etheridge and Indigo Girls on Aug. 24, the Happy Together Tour on Aug. 25, Def Leppard on Aug. 26, the Steve Miller Band on Aug. 28 and the Avett Brothers on Aug. 29.
