Meghan Trainor’s Live TV Panic Attack
It Happened Live on CBS
Meghan was just counting down the 2017 Grammy nominees on CBS This Morning when, honestly, her whole vibe went off the rails.
- “I was announcing the nominees and then I started vibrating, thinking I’d actually glitch out on camera.”
- She felt like she was about to pass out forever on live television.
- “Cut!” hit the mic, and offstage she was gasping for air in front of the studio.
After the Heat‑Up
When the drama ended, Gayle King stepped in as Meghan’s personal lifeline.
- “…she was my email buddy afterward and checked in on me all the time.”
- “I was super embarrassed and offered apologies, but Gayle made everything feel better. She’s an angel.”
Behind the Panic Disorder
It wasn’t a one‑off moment—this was a flare‑up connected to real panic disorder.
- During a late‑night episode she explained: “I ate loads of food, then felt sick, thinking I’d have an allergic reaction.”
- When she hit the ER, the doctor asked: “Have you heard of a panic attack?”
- Meghan replied, “I was 100% sure I was allergic, but your throat’s closing, not a block of food.”
Music to the Rescue
She turned to her favorite playlist to stay afloat during the pandemic.
- “Music really helped me with mental health during the first days of the coronavirus crisis.”
- She said, “Home and brains can be a scary place, but I’m meditating daily and writing to keep the creativity flowing.”
All in all, Meghan reminds us that even the pop stars we idolize are human, and sometimes a little help from a friend and a good song is all it takes to keep going.
