Meghan Trainor said that working on a show she has watched since she was a child would be a ‘dream job’
Trainor, 30, revealed on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen that she wants to replace Katy Perry as a judge on American Idol. Perry, 39, announced in February that she is leaving the show, hoping to focus on other projects.
“I’ve done every interview in the world and said that that is my dream job and I have emailed three awesome people who work in that world,' she told Cohen, noting those individuals 'don’t really have the full say but I begged.” 'She was very good,” he told Entertainment Tonight. “Meghan is a super talent too, and she's got a great sense of humor. She's fun and she's spontaneous.'
American Idol premiered in 2002, quickly becoming a smash hit and culture touchstone of the early 2000s. It ran on Fox until 2016 before a brief hiatus and revival on ABC. Trainor was 8 years old when the show premiered, and it has been a part of her life since childhood.
