This is her brand-new holiday album,

"A Very Trainor Christmas."

It is out now. It is fantastic.

Here is Meghan Trainor!

Oh, my gosh!

Look at you. Look, the bow.

I mean, stop it.

Oh, I'm so happy!

-I'm so pregnant.

-I am so happy.

And it's wrapped in a bow.

I'm so -- Congratulations.

Lookit. Oh! Look at this!

Yeah!

Oh, my gosh.

How exciting. -It's real.

-Congratulations. I'm so excited for you.

How are you feeling?

How has it been being pregnant

during quarantine and everything?

-It was great, like, not traveling.

And if I felt sick, I'm like, "Well, at least I'm home,

you know, and doing interviews like this."

I was so lucky for that.

And then the only bump in the road I had was

I got gestational diabetes, but so many women have it.

And it was just, like, the unknowing.

Like, I didn't know what it was. -I don't know what it is.

-And it's like a whole -- It's, like, a genetics thing.

So my mom had it and she didn't even give me a full warning.

But it's basically I just watch what I eat now,

I write everything down, I check my blood, and we're good now.

I've been crushing it. It's like a game for me.

And I'm winning. -[ Laughs ] Exactly.

-So it's nice to know we're both healthy.

-This is great news.

December is a giant month for you

because your birthday is coming up.

-Yes, it is.

-Which is also the same day of your wedding anniversary,

I believe. -Yep, I did that.

-Happy birthday. Happy anniversary.

-Thank you. -And then Christmas.

How are you going to celebrate

all these things without overdoing it?

You got to, like, pace yourself.

-I know. Everyone is worried this year.

I just told them, like, get me baby stuff.

That's all I need, you know? -[ Laughs ]

-I'm just like starting to nest.

He's coming around early February.

So it'll be perfect.

I'll get all my stuff ready.

-Oh, my gosh. I mean, this is --

this is just gonna be the best Christmas ever.

Let's talk about your new album, "A Very Trainor Christmas."

This is your first ever Christmas album.

And I got to tell you, I love it.

It's a fantastic record, top to bottom.

It really is a family affair.

The whole family is involved in this album.

-Yeah, my older brother actually

took that picture in my living room.

-Wow. -Yeah.

And they wrote all the songs with me and my brother.

My little brother produced all the originals,

most of them, with me.

And my dad's playing piano

on "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas."

I got my two cousins to come over.

And I told them, "I'm pregnant.

Also sing backgrounds on 'Rudolph.'"

You know? It was a big family project.

-How awesome is that?

It is 18 songs. It is jam-packed.

I mean, you get your money's worth with this one.

It's classics. -Yeah.

-But there's also some covers on here of, like,

you know -- I mean, there's brand-new ones.

But there's also covers.

"It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas."

"Winter Wonderland."

"White Christmas" with Seth MacFarlane, by the way,

is the -- right now, it is number one

on Billboard's Adult Contemporary chart.

-Whoo! I know! -Congratulations on that.

-Number one!

-That guy is unbelievable too. He's so talented.

-He's so good. -And funny.

But my favorite jam -- can you guess or no?

-Ugh. I don't know. Maybe, um...

Is it a cover or an original? -It's a cover.

-Okay. Is it "Last Christmas"?

-It's "Last Christmas."

-Oh!

-No one can cover -- -I got it!

-No one can cover that song and I go like, "Well, nice try."

This is fantastic, and I love not only your singing on it,

but the production and the way it starts

with like a "whu-whu-whu-whu-whu-whu-whu"

and then grows up and -- I go -- I love it.

I go, "Dude, she hit a home run with this one."

-I didn't realize how much pressure that would be.

A lot of people were like, "I really hate when people cover

this song, but you did a great job."

I was like, "Oh, my God." -It's a tough one to cover.

I think that one's a tou-- -It's tough.

-The other tough one is

The Waitresses' "Christmas Wrapping."

You can't really do it. -Yeah.

-Like The Waitresses did.

But this one was -- it's -- The whole record is great.

But I love the production on that.

Your voice is great. It's just perfect.

The keyboard. The sound is just great on that one.

I love that. -Thank you so much.

-The whole -- I just love Christmas albums too.

-Yeah, I love what you do with Dolly.

-[ Laughing ] Oh, my gosh. -Queen Dolly Parton.

It's great!

-We'll talk about that some other time.

I was sweating bombs.

I go, "I can't sing this song."

What's wrong with people? But it was so much fun.

It's Dolly. It was the best. -Yeah.

-But then you get -- you go,

"Great, here's a new song called 'Holidays,'

and here's Earth, Wind & Fire."

And I go --

It's just brilliant.

How'd the collaboration come about?

-I heard that -- they've always been so nice to me,

but I heard they would be willing to do

a duet with me on this album.

And I was like, "It has to be an original.

And I have to show my heroes like, 'You raised me.

You taught me what music is.

I'm going to make you proud.'"

And I got with my two favorite musicians,

Mike Sabath, Eddie Benjamin.

They're children. They're like 20 years old.

And we all, like, got together -- tested --

we're all safe -- got together,

and we wrote this song in an evening,

and we're like, "We just want it to be a party."

We studied their music. We played it all day.

-It's very Earth, Wind & Fire but perfectly you.

Perfectly you too 'cause I was like --

[ Vocalizes ] Dude, I was --

I mean, you know.

-We were like, "We have to have a horn section, a breakdown."

Like, it was math. -Yeah. But I love the song.

And you're performing it for us tonight,

which I'm very excited and thankful for.

We're very in the theme this year.

So I'm so thankful for that.

But first, you're always up for doing something fun on our show,

which we love about you.

When we come back, you and I are going to play

a musical game called "Google Translate Songs."

More with Meghan Trainor when we come back.

Stick around, everybody! -Whoo!
