The **MTrain Tour** was the second North America headlining concert tour by American singer-songwriter [Meghan Trainor](/source/Meghan_Trainor) to support of her 2015 debut major-label studio album *[Title](/source/Title_(album))*. The tour was announced in March 2015, with dates being released at the same time. The show was exclusively promoted by [Live Nation Entertainment](/source/Live_Nation_Entertainment). The [set list](/source/Set_list) featured the majority of the songs from *Title*. The tour was positively received by critics. The remainder of the tour was canceled on August 11, 2015, because Trainor suffered a [vocal cord hemorrhage](/source/Vocal_cord_hemorrhage). As a result, Trainor was able to complete only 13 of the originally scheduled 29 shows.

## Background and development

On March 16, 2015, [Meghan Trainor](/source/Meghan_Trainor) announced her second concert tour, MTrain Tour, to support her debut studio album *[Title](/source/Title_(album))* (2015).[1] Tour dates were released on the same day, and tickets were released on March 20, 2015.[1][2] [Live Nation Entertainment](/source/Live_Nation_Entertainment) were announced to be the tour's exclusive promoters, and [HP](/source/Hewlett-Packard) as its [sponsor](/source/Sponsor_(commercial)).[3][4][5] The [set list](/source/Set_list) included fourteen songs from *Title* along with a cover of [Jason Mraz](/source/Jason_Mraz)'s "[I'm Yours](/source/I'm_Yours_(Jason_Mraz_song))" and a dance section featuring [LunchMoney Lewis](/source/LunchMoney_Lewis)' "[Bills](/source/Bills_(song))".[6]

## Synopsis

Trainor starts the hour-long concert with a performance of "[Dear Future Husband](/source/Dear_Future_Husband)", accompanied by her band, two backup singers and two dancers on stage. Trainor performs acoustic version of “[Title](/source/Title_(song))” and a mashup of her song "3am" and Mraz's song "I'm Yours" with a ukulele and a guitar. These songs are performed on Trainor's ukulele, which gives them a "new, island vibe" according to *[The Sun Chronicle](/source/The_Sun_Chronicle)'*s Jenna Noel.[7] "Walkashame" is then performed. At each concert, Trainor calls a person from the audience on-stage to dance with her in front of the crowd. The person is crowned "king" or "queen" using light-up headbands.[7] "Close Your Eyes" and "[Like I'm Gonna Lose You](/source/Like_I'm_Gonna_Lose_You)" precede a performance of "[Marvin Gaye](/source/Marvin_Gaye_(song))" for which [Charlie Puth](/source/Charlie_Puth) joins Trainor. This is followed by a short dance break to Lewis' song "Bills".[7] Trainor performs her song "[Better When I'm Dancin'](/source/Better_When_I'm_Dancin')". The set is finished with "Good to Be Alive" and "[All About That Bass](/source/All_About_That_Bass)" as the [encore](/source/Encore).[6]

## Reception

Jackie Frere of *[Billboard](/source/Billboard_(magazine))* gave the show at the Hollywood Palladium a rating of four out of five stars. She noted that Trainor gave a good performance despite her then recent vocal cord damage, writing "there was little evidence that Trainor hasn't made a nearly full recovery from her hemorrhage".[6] Writing for *The Sun Chronicle*, Jenna Noel was positive of the show, and stated that she "had her A-game with her", and displayed "enthusiasm and confidence".[7]
