nounMegatron (plural Megatronz or Megatrons)

plural Megatronz · plural Megatrons

  1. slangA fan of American singer-songwriter and television personality Meghan Trainor (born 1993).

    Lots of Megatronz may have missed this relationship, or fling if you want to call it, because it was so quick.

    Megatronz, check out Meghan Trainor's 'Lips Are Movin' video here, and get a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the vid below!

    2014 November 19, Michelle McGahan, “Meghan Trainor’s ‘Lips Are Movin’ Video Is Sassy and Colorful”, in PopCrush, Townsquare Media, archived from the original on 21 Nov 2014

    The attention span of the #Megatrons, as Trainor has christened her fans, presumably falls somewhere between the six-second length of a Vine and the 15-second limit on an Instagram video.

    2015 February 10, Louis Cheslaw, “Title - Meghan Trainor”, in Venue (Concrete), number 308, page 07, column 3

    But when L.A. Reid, CEO of Epic Records, heard “That Bass,” he fell in love with Meghan’s empowering, in-your-face lyrics—as did all her fans (hey, Megatronz!), who have clicked on her YouTube video roughly 500 million times.

    2015 March, Carissa Rosenberg Tozzi, “Life on the M Train”, in Seventeen, page 114

    It was “Title” – which Trainor later deemed “the best song of the night” – that had the singer seemingly marvelling at her “Megatronz,” who sang the whole way through.

    2015 March 8, Leslie Armstrong, “Meghan Trainor teary over avid fans’ loud singalong”, in Toronto Star

    From then on, it’s wall-to -all hits as she leads a full backing band and troupe of dancers, and has her ‘Megatrons’ – her largely pre-teen fanbase – in the palm of her hand.

    2015 May 6, Brendan Hitchens, “Megan Trainor, GRL”, in The Music, number 87, Melbourne, Vic., page 35, column 2
