Meghan Trainor Accepts the Hitmaker Award | Billboard Women In Music 2025

Meghan Trainor accepts the Hitmaker award at Billboard Women In Music 2025.

Meghan Trainor:

Thank you. Hi! Oh, I’m gonna throw up. Thank you, Madison Beer—I love you so much. That was so good. You shouldn’t be nervous; you’re perfect. Thank you so much, Billboard, for this incredible honor. I have been so scared all week. I can’t believe I’ve gotten to do my dream job for over ten years now. Writing songs is my main source of serotonin (besides my kids, Riley and Barry, and my husband, Daryl—oh, you look good tonight). My whole family is here. Over there—hi! My mom even bought tickets for this. She’s so cute; she’s in the front. Hitmaker is a crazy title. I just wanted to write songs and music that make people feel happy, dance, and hopefully love themselves a little bit more. Everyone asks me, “How are you so positive? How do you do so much and smile all the time?” The truth is, I write these songs for myself because I am so insecure. I have a lot of therapy, I’m on medicine—thank you—and I love my medicine. I love my therapist so much. She’s probably watching. Asking for help is the only reason I’m here, along with my incredible family. My mom and dad are here, and so is my amazing team. Shoutout to Sally, who’s being honored tonight. And Maggie and Tommy (he’s a guy).

Keep watching for more!
