As a gamer who has grown up with Shawn Mendes‘ music, his recent confession about figuring out his sexuality truly resonates with me on a deeper level. I remember blasting “Stitches” and “Treat You Better” during my gaming sessions back in high school.
Shawn Mendes recently discussed his journey of understanding his sexual orientation during an emotional performance at a live show. The musician returned to music a few months ago and is preparing for the launch of his self-titled album, “Shawn.” Prior to the anticipated release, speculation about Mendes’ sexual identity resurfaced with one of his new songs. Now, in a heartfelt revelation at a concert in Colorado, Mendes has publicly acknowledged his sexuality.
Recently, Mendes has been playing his upcoming track “The Mountain” during intimate concerts for family and friends. Footage of these performances has circulated on social media. Some fans have interpreted the lyrics to suggest they address discussions surrounding his sexual identity: “You can say I’m too young / You can say I’m too old / You can say I like girls or boys / Whatever fits your stereotype.

At his Colorado concert, Shawn Mendes gave an emotional talk while singing, and a fan-captured video on TikTok has become popular. In the clip, Mendes speaks openly about his personal life, acknowledging that there’s been much discussion about his sexuality since he was young.
Mendes expresses that he finds it somewhat absurd since sexuality is a profoundly complex aspect for him, one that doesn’t easily fit into defined categories. Additionally, the artist mentions that discussing his sexuality often feels like an invasion of something deeply personal. He also points out that his understanding and exploration of his own sexuality is ongoing.
Later on, the pop artist shared that composing the song “The Mountain” held significant importance for him. Mendes reminisced, “It was a moment where I could express it in a way that resonated deeply with me.” He further mentioned that he now feels more open because he desires to be more transparent and closer to everyone. Mendes also discussed the truth about his personal life and sexuality openly.
The musician admitted that just like everyone else, he’s often uncertain and unsure, confessing, “I don’t always know what to do, but I do sometimes.” This revelation sparked enthusiastic applause at the concert as Mendes further shared his apprehension about living in a judgmental society. He emphasized that he is striving to be courageous and authentic, allowing himself to experience emotions. Concluding his heartfelt discourse, he simply stated, “That’s all I wish to discuss on this topic for the moment.
