Meghan Trainor on the Dream song
It was a “dream” to work with her, according to Stephens, who left her job as a cashier at a nearby supermarket to focus solely on her music.
Following the posting of a clip on New Year’s Day, the song became popular on TikTok. She started writing songs when she was 12 years old as a “massive coping mechanism” against bullying, and she is still working hard to achieve her goal of being an artist.
Stephens has accomplished significant life milestones since the release of her famous song, including adopting two cats and moving into her own home.
