Singer Shawn Mendes made a bold statement about his sexuality during a recent performance in Colorado, where he expressed that he is still in the process of understanding it, much like everyone else.
The artist shared his thoughts with the audience before singing an unreleased song inspired by the speculation surrounding his sexuality.
Mendes, a Canadian singer, has been open about his discomfort with the constant scrutiny and intrusive questioning about his personal life.
During his performance at Morrison’s Red Rocks Amphitheatre, he reflected on not having the opportunity to explore his identity fully during his teenage years.
He highlighted the complexity of sexuality and how society often tries to fit individuals into narrow boxes based on their preferences.
Mendes emphasized the importance of addressing the topic through his music, particularly with his new song “The Mountain”, which touches on the theme of self-discovery and acceptance.
In previous interviews, Mendes has addressed the hurtful impact of speculation about his sexuality and the importance of having a supportive environment.
Despite the challenges, he remains focused on his music career and has achieved chart-topping success with hits like “Señorita”.
Through his candid revelations on stage, Mendes aimed to connect with his audience on a deeper level and embrace his truth.
