Making it big thanks to her hit song All About The Bass has not made Meghan Trainor crave champagne and caviar dates.

In fact, the 21-year-old hit-maker revealed to May's Marie Claire magazine the way to win over her heart is with a good game of bowling.

The blonde told the publication, 'Coolest date I've ever been on: The guy set up a night of bowling. We didn't have bumpers, so I had to pick up my game.'

All about the pins: Meghan Trainor revealed to May's Marie Claire magazine the way to win over her heart - a night out ten-pin bowling

'He won. He didn't even try to be polite and let the girl win,' the MTV favorite added,

'But I got a strike and he didn't, so I felt like I won, you know?'

It's hard to imagine she has much time now for getting strikes at anything other than the pop-charts.

The Lips Are Moving singer recently found out she had received an impressive nine Billboard music nominations: Top New Artist, Top Female Artist, Top Hot 100 Artist, Top Digital Songs Artist, Top Streaming Artist, Top Hot 100 Song, Top Digital Song, Top Streaming Song and Billboard Chart Achievement Award.

Her new album, Title, just debuted at number one on the Billboard album chart.

She was referred to by Rolling Stone magazine as last year's Most Unlikely Pop Star, but even at the bowling alley as a child the singer showed early signs that she might go into the music industry.

The singer told the magazine: 'I won't go unless it's Black-Light Night at the bowling alley: disco lights and colors. That really gets me in the mood...to bowl.'

The buxom blonde beauty, who is currently riding high with Dear Future Husband, told the publication: 'We always went bowling as a family; that's why it's my favorite. With the bumpers, of course!

'My older brother was always the best—he's very athletic. My younger brother wasn't the greatest, so I was right there in the middle. I was good sometimes.'

And while she might be 'bringing booty back', she says she doesn't love her hands as much.

'I have grandma hands', she told the magazine, 'So I always go for the light balls because they're easier to hold.

'Color is crucial, too. I like neon colors, pink or green. Those are my winning balls.'

The star also revealed that she has her tactics when it comes to bowling: 'You've got to have a good approach.

'It's always 1, 2, 3, BOOM. I do left, right, left. Look right at the pins. That's where you're going!

'I'm happy anytime I bowl over 100—I think my highest score was around 160'

The Lips Are Moving star warned any prospective boyfriends of one thing - her harsh hyberbole.

'I trash talk' she told them, 'Like, "Better prepare yourself; I'm about to destroy you."'
