Not that he has anything to worry about right now. He’s landed three Number One albums and has 95 arenas booked next year, with stadiums up next on the horizon. His calling cards are catchy, well-crafted pop-rock hits like 2015’s “Stitches” and 2016’s “Treat You Better,” where he comes across as an earnest guy who wants more than a fling, the type who’ll fly to Japan to convince you he deserves a shot.Photograph by Ruven Afanadoris a lot of pressure for someone barely out of his teens.
“I was just really weirdly inspired,” Shawn says. “They went into a store, and I remember my heart beating at a million miles an hour.” The song was Bruno Mars’ “Grenade.” He starts belting the lyrics: “Easy come, easy go!” Justin Stirling, his 25-year-old head of marketing, speaks up. “All Shawn has to do is open up his Instagram DMs, see all the blue check marks and choose,” he says. “But it doesn’t happen often.”
“I love weed,” he tells me with a grin. “I wouldn’t tweet that — not yet, at least — but it’s really good for me. When I’m home, I’ll smoke and then play guitar for seven hours.” Mendes admits that the attention on his personal life has caused him a lot of stress. “I’d like to say I don’t care about it, but that’s not true,” he says. This brings him to another, much thornier issue that he’s been forced to navigate: “This massive, massive thing for the last five years about me being gay.”
But the video only made people talk more. Mendes mentions a text he got just the other day from Swift. They’ve been friends since she took him on hertour, when he was 16. He remembers those shows fondly — how she showed him the ropes of performing at arenas and stadiums, how she’d line up her trucks in the shape of a diamond and throw huge barbecues inside with soccer games and flip-cup. Shawn Mendes runs through the crowd at MAGCON in 2014.
The jet is a new thing for Mendes. He usually flies commercial, but his label has dropped a couple hundred grand so he can hit several countries — Denmark, Portugal, Hungary, the U.K., Canada, the U.S. and Japan — for a series of festival gigs and TV shows. In the meantime, his team is living it up: Stirling, his marketing manager, has been checking out the seafood platter, while Mendes and others debate whether Michael Jordan or LeBron James would win a one-on-one match.
