Want to know more?
You’re in luck, here are the details revealed about Shawn Mendes in his new documentary.
“What, even to go to the bathroom, he has to go with security?”
As soon as Mendes stepped out into the hall, female fans could be heard screaming.
“Did you see that?”
his sweet dad asked.
“‘I love you.’
It was clearly a reality that would become the norm for Shawn Mendes.
Here’s your daily reminder that celebrities are people too.
With the screaming fans and the whirlwind tours, it’s easy to lose your footing.
Mendes remained contemplative for quite a while before just nodding his head yes.
His lack of an audible answer made the moment almost that much more powerful.
And things really got steamy after they released their duet “Senorita” in June 2019.
InShawn Mendes: In Wondershowed footage of the two preparing to take the stage together.
She could then heard saying, “I love you, do you know that?”
Mendes responded by saying, “I know,” before Cabello sweetly kissed him on the forehead.
For a couple that has been pretty private, this was such a sweet moment caught on camera.
It was the rare footage that fans had been dying to see.
“I was just taken aback a bit.
It was like ‘This is really incredible,'” Gertler shared in Mendes’ documentary.
“[I] reached out and we FaceTimed Shawn and his mom.
“I’m so lucky to have a friend like Brian.
He works hard at keeping me in the real world,” Mendes said.
I’d probably be pretty crazy.”
“Sometimes it just takes stepping out of your world to get perspective,” he shared.
“And I’m like ‘Yeah, it’s about you.
Everything’s about you.
They’ve always been about you.'”
He continued, “She goes ‘What do you mean?’
I’m like ‘They’re all about you.
Like every song I ever wrote.'”
He went on to describe their relationship since being a couple and how his songwriting might be impacted.
It’s not supposed to be captured, you know?
It’s just supposed to be for us.”
Excuse us while we go cry.
“He was like, ‘No I don’t want to be famous.
It seems awful.’
I don’t know if he remembers that, but I remember it like it was yesterday.”
But being famous definitely didn’t help."
“This is the room I recorded all the Vines and stuff in.
It’s pretty small in here right?”
Mendes then went into the kitchen where his mom joined him.
Sounds like every early-20s kid coming home from college.
But his daily manifestations weren’t just about his voice.
“This was two weeks before we put Rogers Centre on sale, November 24, 2018.
I wrote ‘Here we go, I will sell out the Rogers Centre,'” he said.
“And on November 25th, 2018, I sold out the Rogers Centre.
That’s why this s**t works because I wrote it in my manifestation journal.”
Icon Oprah Winfrey shared that it’s a practice she engages with too.
“You control a lot by your thoughts,” she said (viaO, the Oprah Magazine).
… What else can I manifest, because I have seen it work.
I have seen it happen over and over again."
So be like Shawn Mendes and Oprah, manifest your best life.
Luckily for Mendes, he had some help along the way from singer-songwriters he looked up to.
“I’m gonna need your help as much as I can.
I promise to sing my heart out, but I only got what I got in my voice.”
From his body language, we could tell that Mendes was absolutely exhausted in that moment.
So why was his voice starting to give up?
Just talking about it sounds painful.
“But at the same time I also want to hang with my parents and watch movies.
I think I miss that a little bit right now.”
“For an outside stadium, you’re going to hurt yourself for the next 11.”
It was an overwhelming decision, as Mendes was seen with his head in his hands during the conversation.
The documentary showed footage of crying fans outside the venue, as many were already waiting to head inside.
We do not envy being in that position.
“The last year of my life has been this tour and it’s bittersweet.
But given the stress of the tour, it’s no wonder that he needed some time off.
So what has Mendes’ life looked like since finishing the tour?
