Shawn Mendes shared that public interest in his sexuality feels intrusive, as he navigates his identity and seeks to live in his truth, facing societal pressures.
Mendes stated, 'I think sexuality is such a beautifully complex thing and it’s so hard to put into boxes. It always felt like such an intrusion on something very personal to me.' He emphasizes that as he figures out his sexuality, it remains a deeply personal journey.
He expressed that exploring his identity can be 'really scary' in a society that has strong opinions about sexuality, stating, 'I’m just figuring it out like everyone.' This openness creates a connection with his audience, highlighting shared human experiences.
Mendes sang a heartfelt lyric that resonated with the audience: 'You can say I like girls or boys / Whatever fits your mold,' illustrating his struggle with the labels people impose.
