Meghan Trainor Apologizes for ‘F*ck Teachers’ Comment: ‘I Was Fired Up’

After days of backlash, Meghan Trainor has apologized for saying “fuck teachers” on her podcast last week, saying she was “careless with [her] words.”

The “All About That Bass” singer took to TikTok on Sunday and said, “Teachers of TikTok and teachers of the world, I recently said ‘F teachers’ on the podcast. And it’s not how I feel. I was fired up because we were talking about how sending your kid to school here in America is so horrific, and what all of us have to go through, but especially teachers, is not normal and not OK.”

The backlash against Trainor stemmed from the April 19 episode of her podcast Workin’ On It, when she spoke about her decision to homeschool her children amid an uptick in gun violence in schools. (The pop star and her husband, Daryl Sabara, welcomed a son in 2021 and are currently expecting baby No. 2.)
