The 26-year-old debuted Shawn, a new song from his upcoming album “The Mountain,” at a recent performance in New York City. On October 19, a fan shared a TikTok video of Shawn performing the new song, reportedly addressing comments expressed regarding him and allegations regarding his sexual preference or identity.

Shawn’s guitar-playing performance of “I’ve got a change of heart” is followed by the lyrics “express myself openly,” “I might say I’m still young,” “I can say I’m beyond my prime,” “You might describe me as prefers girls or prefers boys,” and “Whatever label people like, it is irrelevant, whatever it is.”

The audience starts applauding as Shawn sings the line.

Considering the lyrics, TopMob News has contacted Sean’s agents but has not heard back.

The performer identified as “Wonder” has never been afraid to address suspicions regarding his sexual orientation. He openly expressed his displeasure with the persistent rumors regarding his private life back in 2020.

In 2020, he revealed on Armchair Expert that he had been called queer since he was fifteen years old. He is not gay, though, and has frequently questioned what this term means. He had trouble with his body language and voice, and he was self-conscious regarding his sitting position, particularly when it became feminine, which upset him.

Shawn also discussed his attempts to clean up his name without coming out as excessively defensive and how the constant rumors have impacted him.

I became deeply concerned with those surrounding me and struggled with intense frustration. Some people in my social group covered the fact that they were LGBTQ+. I experienced an odd mixture of confusion and anger due to the situation’s complexities.

“I might not be gay, but when I was, it might be embraced,” I wished I could say in support. However, becoming gay in the first place is perfectly OK. However, I was unable to find the appropriate words to handle this sensitive thing.

Shawn’s romantic life has garnered a lot of public attention ever since he became famous as a youngster. This includes his difficult 4-year relationship with Camila Cabello, which ended permanently in 2023.

The “Stitches” singer emphasized the value of keeping a close friendship with Camila despite their well-publicized split.

In an interview on the Jay Shetty podcast’s September 30 episode, he stated that he is handling the fire of our secretive love with Camila rather well. He explained it by saying that even if he has a strong mind, it is still hard to handle thousands of comments without letting them motivate or depress him.

It was not as a romantic couple that Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello first came to notice in 2015, but rather as a musical duo that had a hit with the song “I Know What You Did Last Summer.”

The seductive music video for the singers’ duet “Señorita” was released in June, 4 years later, sparking rumors that a romantic relationship might be growing off-screen.

A source allegedly informed TopMob News that the duo was establishing itself as a couple when they were seen going hand in hand in West Hollywood within a month. Following that, they were seen cuddling in San Francisco.

Their intense kiss in the Miami ocean appeared to say a lot regarding their romantic relationship, even though none of them had made their relationship public.

According to reports, the speculating couple attended Mendes’ 21st birthday together in August 2019. A strong kiss was given to the birthday man as part of the occasion. Cabello also declared her affection for her.
