If you were trying to find [Meghan Trainor](http://time.com/4246204/meghan-trainor-no-interview-new-album/)’s new “Me Too” music video yesterday, you probably didn’t have much luck. The pop star debuted the video to the second single off her new album [_Thank You_](https://www.instagram.com/p/BCfzAJauSiv/) Monday, but its life online was short-lived.

The singer promptly took down the video because of massive photoshopping—none of which had been approved by Trainor.

“I missed it,” Trainor told Andy Cohen of the video’s photoshopping on [_Watch What Happens Live_](http://www.bravotv.com/watch-what-happens-live/season-13/episode-86/videos/meghan-on-the-me-too-photoshop-controversy) Monday night. They displayed an image from the video of Trainor with a tiny waist, prompting her to stand up and proudly show the audience her actual figure.

“I was so upset because I thought the fans were doing it online when they were screenshotting it…and then I saw my video and I was like, ‘Oh my God, it’s my own video.’ And I called the Gods of Vevo, and I said, ‘Take that down now.’”

[_Follow Motto on Facebook_](https://www.facebook.com/mottoworkplaylive/)_._

Trainor also posted a video to Snapchat explaining why she took down the video:

Don’t worry, “Me Too” is coming back. “I fixed it, I approved a new version and it’s coming out like tomorrow morning,” she told Cohen. The waist the singer loves and thinks is “snatch” will be front and center.
