Shawn Mendes Says He’s “Figuring Out” Sexuality in Heartfelt Speech

As a dedicated fan who’s been riding the Shawn Mendes wave since his Vine days, I can’t help but feel a deep sense of admiration for this young artist. His Colorado concert at Red Rocks Amphitheatre wasn’t just another performance; it was a heart-to-heart session that brought us closer to understanding the complexities of Shawn Mendes – the person, not just the star.


Shawn Mendes is giving himself some grace.

At his concert in Colorado’s Red Rocks Amphitheatre, the 26-year-old artist shared insights about his personal life during a moving speech, caught on video by fans. Prior to performing his fresh release “The Mountain,” he addressed the rumors concerning his sexuality directly.

Reflecting on being quite young when his career began, Mendes shared with the enthusiastic audience, “In reality, I missed out on many experiences typical of a 15-year-old and opportunities to explore aspects of myself that one often discovers at that age.

The singer behind “Treat You Better” expressed his views on the ongoing speculation about his sexuality throughout his career, stating, “For a long time, people have been discussing my sexual orientation. I believe it’s somewhat absurd because I think sexuality is an incredibly intricate and multifaceted aspect of our lives, and it’s challenging to categorize it so simply.

Mendes, who’s been associated romantically with Camila Cabello, Hailey Bieber, and Sabrina Carpenter, expressed that the conversations about his romantic preferences felt like an unwanted invasion into a deeply personal matter for him. He also mentioned that he is still figuring out his own thoughts on this subject.

In his own words, Mendes explained, “I was uncovering something personal within myself, something I hadn’t fully understood before, and still haven’t today.” Writing the song held significance for him as it offered a way to express these feelings that resonated deeply. He added, “I’m just speaking candidly because I want to be more transparent and authentic with everyone.

The singer known for “Mercy” expressed, “I’m still discovering the truth about my life and my sexuality, just like many others. Sometimes I understand, other times I don’t, and it can be terrifying because our society often has strong opinions on these matters. I’m doing my best to be brave and simply be human, experiencing feelings. That’s all I wish to share for now.
