It seems Meghan Trainor has weighed in on her “toxic” mom friend group drama.

On Thursday, the singer took to TikTok, sharing a video of her sitting at her computer, with the text, “Me finding out about the apparent mom group drama.”

In the caption, Trainor wrote, “#stilldontcare,” as her face looked shocked and her new single “Still Don’t Care,” from her upcoming album Toy With Me, played in the background.

The video appears to be a dig at Ashley Tisdale, whose essay for The Cut about her former mom friend group went viral. Trainor is allegedly part of that group, as is Gaby Dalkin, Hilary Duff, and Mandy Moore, among others.

Tisdale first wrote her essay as a blog post in November 2025, and it was later picked up by The Cut and published on Jan. 1. In the piece, she wrote about leaving her mom friend group last year due to “toxic,” “high school”-like behavior. However, it wasn’t always like that, with Tisdale sharing that she initially “felt lucky” to find these women.

However, she ended up feeling isolated and struggled with feeling she was “not cool enough.” Their treatment eventually caused her to feel “hurt, drained, and left out.” Though she didn’t directly name people, fans pointed to photos she appeared in with Duff, Moore, and Dalkin.

Though Duff and Moore haven’t responded to the drama, Duff’s husband, Matthew Koma, seemed to shade Tisdale on his Instagram Story, posting a mockup of The Cut's story with a rewritten headline.

"A Mom Group Tell All Through the Father's Eyes," Koma wrote. "When You're the Most Self Obsessed Tone Deaf Person On Earth, Other Moms Tend to Shift Focus to Their Actual Toddlers," he added.

Earlier this week, Dalkin also appeared to respond on Threads. “Slowly coming back online after 2 weeks of family time, all the kid activities, and copious amounts of Christmas crack and cookies. What did I miss???”
