Meghan Trainor cancels 2026 tour to focus on family

Ticket holders from Pittsburgh to Los Angeles lost a summer arena run when Meghan Trainor canceled her entire 2026 Get In Girl Tour, wiping out dates at PPG Paints Arena, Madison Square Garden, Chase Center and the Kia Forum. The shutdown erased a stretch of shows that had been set to move through major markets across North America, including Philadelphia, Cleveland, St. Paul and Duluth, Georgia.

The tour had been scheduled to open June 12 at Pine Knob in Clarkston, Michigan, and close Aug. 15 at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles. In Pittsburgh, the PPG Paints Arena date had been slated for July 13. In St. Paul, the show had been set for July 15, and in Duluth, Georgia, for July 25. Trainor had announced the tour last November, positioning it as one of her biggest arena runs of the year before the entire schedule was pulled.

Trainor said she canceled because she needed to focus on her family after welcoming her third child, daughter Mikey Moon, via surrogate in January 2026. She said it was the “right decision for my family” and that she needed to be home and present while balancing the release of her new album, Toy With Me, and family life. The cancellation came about two months before the tour was due to begin and just days before the album’s release.

For venues, promoters and surrounding businesses, the loss is immediate. A stop like PPG Paints Arena in downtown Pittsburgh or a night at Madison Square Garden typically drives hotel bookings, restaurant traffic and transit use around the building. Removing a full arena tour also leaves a gap in summer calendars that had been built around one of pop’s more recognizable live packages.

Trainor’s decision also fits a broader pattern in modern touring, where artists have increasingly stepped back from grueling road schedules to make room for health, family obligations or burnout. In this case, the timing was especially stark: a major arena tour, a new album and a newborn at home all converged at once, and Trainor chose the family side of that equation.
