Meghan Trainor has passed her driving theory test.

The 22-year-old singer songwriter shared the news on her Instagram account. She wrote: "When you fail your DMV written test the first time..but pass the second time (sic)."

Meanwhile, the 22-year-old has revealed she is keen to pack away her microphone temporarily and launch an acting career Meghan Trainor wants to become an actress.

Speaking previously, she said: "My biggest dream right now is to start an acting career. I'm going to get an acting coach soon."

And the starlet has already got her foot on the ladder as she was asked to pen new tracks for 'The Peanut Movie' but she's hoping she can soon persuade bosses to give her an actual role.

She added: "I was terrified and honoured [when I was asked to write the songs]. When I told my grandmother, she was pumped! I still have to pinch myself. It's unbelievable."

But the Massachusetts-born beauty was overcome with emotion when she heard her song play in the cinema for the first time, although she managed to keep her excitement contained until she left the venue.

She explained: "I was with my family and when I realised my song was coming up, my heart was pounding out of my chest. When it finally happened, I wanted to stand up and dance, but I kept my cool. My brothers and I were dancing in our seats. It was very emotional. I cried when I walked out of the theatre."
