Pop star Meghan Trainor to play Grand Casino Arena in July

Pop star Meghan Trainor will headline St. Paul’s Grand Casino Arena on July 13.

Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Nov. 21 through Ticketmaster. Fans who register at livemu.sc/meghantrainor by midnight Monday have access to a presale. American Express cardholders also have access to early tickets starting at 10 a.m. Nov. 18. “I Love It” hitmakers Icona Pop open.

Trainor broke through in a big way with her 2014 debut single “All About That Bass,” which hit No. 1 in 58 countries and earned a pair of Grammy nominations.

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.”

In 2024, Trainor embarked on her first tour in eight years and sold nearly 260,000 tickets. She drew a crowd of more than 8,000 to the Minnesota State Fair Grandstand in August.
