Meghan Trainor Releases Gritty 'Better' Video

(Radio.com) When first hearing Meghan Trainor and Gotti's collaboration on "Better," one might have expected it to be accompanied by a sad music video about a relationship in turmoil. Well, Meghan's new video for the song is about a relationship, but not the kind anyone were picturing.

Instead of saying she deserves better from a partner in a romantic relationship, Trainor is singing about her troubled alcoholic pill-popping grandfather, played by Emmy award-winning actor, Beau Bridges, in the video.

Last night, Trainor posted a snippet of the music video and thanked Bridges and Gotti for making her "music video dreams come true." She thanked Beau again in a separate snippet featuring just him, and called the actor a "legend" in her caption. Watch Trainor show off her acting skills in the gritty music video here.
