Singer Meghan Trainor has revealed she considered putting an end to her fan meet and greets following the tragic shooting of Christina Grimmie.

The former "Voice" contestant was killed during a signing on June 10 when a man opened fire.

Speaking to Billboard, Trainor said Grimmie's death made her question the events, though said she cherished her relationship with fans.

"Last show I did in Buffalo, I went out after. It kind of slowed down and everyone was leaving. I went out and said hi to some fans. My heart was beating and I was like, 'You got this, you're okay'. And I saw my team circled around us subtly," she said.
 

"I was like, 'There's my manager, there's my security, there's my brother, and there's my assistant, and they're all protecting me'. And I was like, 'We can do this'. And we did it until the last person left."

She added: "Then I was like, 'Guys I can't do this anymore'. Because of Christina."

Of her fans, the singer said: "Sometimes I get to meet real personal fans that have written me an essay and they want to just give it to me. And so I love those moments. But it was scary.
