Shawn Mendes Breaks Silence on Rumors About His Sexuality: ‘I’m Just Figuring It Out Like Everyone’

Before singing his upcoming song The Mountain at a concert, Shawn Mendes addressed the sexuality rumors that surrounded him for years and inspired the tune.

The “Mercy” singer, 26, broke his silence on the speculation while introducing his new song “The Mountain” during his For Friends and Family tour concert at the Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Colorado on Monday, October 28. The song, which he has performed at recent shows ahead of its November 15 release as part of his self-titled fifth album, was inspired by the ongoing conversations about his sexuality. The Canada native, who dated Camila Cabello on and off for years and was also linked to Sabrina Carpenter, previously opened up to Dax Shepard on his “Armchair Expert” podcast in 2020 about not knowing how exactly to approach the sexuality speculation.
