AceShowbiz - After teased on Instagram on Wednesday, September 14, a music video for Meghan Trainor's "Better" feat. Yo Gotti has been released in full on early Thursday. The emotional video depicts the complicated relationship between a young woman, played by Trainor, and her grandfather, portrayed by three-time Emmy-winning actor Beau Bridges.
It begins as Trainor picks up her grandfather upon his release from jail. As the story unfolds, we see Bridges' drug-addicted character doesn't seem to care about his granddaughter as Trainor sings that she deserves to be treated "better."
Toward the end of the video, her grandfather realizes this and tries to reconnect with her, but she isn't home. It ends with Bridges getting arrested again and Trainor sobs as she sees a picture that her grandfather left for her.
The "All About That Bass" hitmaker previously raved about the veteran actor when sharing a sneak peek of the music video. "Thank you Beau Bridges! You are a legend," she wrote in a caption of the snippet posted on Instagram.
"Better" is the third single off Trainor's second major-label studio album "Thank You", following up "No" and "Me Too". The latest single has been gaining steam at pop radio following its release on August 29.
