Assuming the picture isn't backward Meridith is playing a left handed guitar because the high strings are to the bottom. Were she just flipping a right handed guitar, which some people do, the bass strings would be at the bottom.
Some noted people who play right handed guitars left handed and make my fingers hurt looking at them - Elizabeth Cotton, Jimi Hendrix, Bill Staines..... On the old Yesterday video Paul McCartney does it. He might have restrung the guitar. I haven't looked to see if he plays backwards or not - but the other three absolutely do or did. You can tell on the McCartney video because the pickguard is above the soundhole instead of below it.
When she gets a little better on the guitar and makes that voice work for her Meridith is gonna be sensational. Has all the right ingredients. The apple didn't fall too far from the tree.

Elizabeth Cotton played a right handed guitar flipped to the other side. The strings were still right handed, meaning she played it with the bass strings on the bottom. She was amazing to watch!
