Meghan Trainor’s holiday-themed promo has a partnership with State Farm, and she’s released a jovial video of her singing with her fingers snapping alongside the Christmas tree, which is all dressed up. The post on social media drew various interactions from a sea of her followers, who started with sweet words about her singing voice and then moved on to questions about her Christmas decorations and even some ironic comments about the insurance company itself.

The ‘All About That Bass’ singer, Meghan Trainor, is going to be an early Christmas tree and for that, she will have a corporate sponsor to throw in the fun. The clip shared by the singer was part of the partnership with insurance company State Farm. She was next to a festively adorned Christmas tree, singing a line that was very catchy and playful and sounded like “Like a good neighbor? See if I’m a stay. Oh yeah. Beautiful” along with finger snapping.

The post clarified that the collaboration was with State Farm, adding that even though the company “can’t really help you with holiday decorations,” it can still assist you in finding the insurance coverage that would be your best fit. Mixing the cheerfulness of the season with the brand message is an influencer technique, however, the real story, as always, was in the comments section, where the audience of Trainor was mainly concerned with more than just insurance policies.

A few followers right away turned their attention to the delivery of the star’s vocal line in the short extract. One of those commenting on the video said that Trainor’s “singing voice sounded just like Ariana,” and this was quickly backed up by another user who said, “I was about to say the same thing.” Such a comparison is not uncommon for the singer, who can sometimes remind us of the breathy, high register of Grande due to her pop vocal versatility. Another supporter simply recognized her advanced technique by saying, “Perfect finger snap! 💯 🎄.”

As predicted, the timing of the holiday became a minor point of a worldwide dispute. A user, who seemed to be from Germany, mildly critiqued the early celebrations, “Noooo…December 23rd, putting on and decorating with family,” they wrote. “Why putting all these Christmas trees so early…it is a different thing in public, institutions…but in private homes…it is like celebrating Easter in January till April…we Germans are not amused.” It is a cultural difference that occurs every November when early celebrators are up against the purists sticking to the traditional calendar.

The collaboration with State Farm uncovered some unfestive company stories. One user recalled his bad experience with the insurance company, saying, “I had one single claim, due to a broken pipe flooding my dining room, and @statefarm dropped me as a client due to ‘frequency of claims’.” This was a stark reminder of the reality behind the brand; the laughter, the celebrity partnerships—the insurance claim is still that with the rules sometimes leaving the customers feeling isolated in the midst of the holiday cheer.

When there was talk of brands and voices analyzed, many fans just wanted to connect with Trainor as a person. There were countless of her requests, e.g. “pls we need a Latin American tour 😥”, “COME TO BRAZIL PLS MEGHAAANM” —the latter seeming to be forever around. The inquiries also concerned her amazing decorating, one being “Where did you get those poinsettias? Love them.” and the user making a playful reference to State Farm’s most popular ad character by asking, “Are you taking over for Jake? 😂😂😂”

Not all comments were flattering. A minor number of them brought up her appearance, one bluntly saying, “Bangs look terrible on you,” while another wrongly advised, “You’re not the right trainer.” Nevertheless, the main vibe was one of Christmas support, with many just sharing their good wishes for the holiday. “Have the best time of the year” was one follower’s wish, which was quite a common expression of the mood.

Meghan Trainor’s Christmas post is a great little example of modern celebrity interaction. It is a branded moment, a performance slice, a fashion show, and a community message board all at the same time. The replies—whether they are about her voice, her tree, or the specifics of an insurance policy—indicate a keen audience that is not only watching closely but is also ready to provide their input. For now, Trainor appears to be in the mood to deliver the season’s soundtrack and backdrop, partnership and all.
