Yahoo! writer Lyndsey Parker remarked about Trainor 's fashion in the video ; and said it " seems to be an unofficial campaign to land her own M.A.C. Viva Glam endorsement deal " . Fuse 's Hilary Hughes wrote that the video was a bold and sassy sentiment , and that its style shift from " All About That Bass " " definitely made a statement " . Hughes described the video 's dance routine as " fierce " ; she called it " a super-meta technicolor dance party " .
