I think that I miss that a little bit right now.” “I’ve never had more fun in my life, but I also want to hang with my parents and watch movies, drive around a suburb, lay on a soccer field, smoke a joint and stare at the stars with my friends and, like, eat some beef jerky. I love these performances,” he shared after a clip of a difficult performance in London, where Mendes voice began to give out and he became increasingly hard on himself. “We’re on a 104-show tour and half of me right now is like, ‘Make sure you say you’re grateful,’ because I am. “If I tell the world that I’m just a normal human, are they going to stop coming to the shows?”Įven a superstar that plays the biggest venues in the world surrounded by adoring fans misses home sometimes. There’s so much love surrounded, he’s playing a show.’ It also happens to be the biggest stadium in the country.”Ħ. This isn’t like, you’re playing your biggest show of all time. My door guy at the condo’s like, ‘I’m coming to the show,'” the singer shared.
“On the street, the coffee guys says he’s coming to the show. Mendes’ hometown stadium has a capacity of 53,506, one of the biggest shows he has ever played. “That’s why this s- works, because I wrote it in my manifestation journal,” he said. Fast-forward two weeks later, days before his sold out show, and Mendes is reveling in how his dreams came true. He showed Cabello an affirmation he wrote before his big show at the Rogers Centre in Toronto, noting that he would sell out the stadium. Mendes believes deeply in the law of attraction, and showed off his manifestation journal where he wrote down affirmations like, “I control my brain and my voice. When Shawn came over to give his sister a big hug, he said that he doesn’t remember that conversation, but “obviously changed my mind.” He was like, ‘No, I don’t want to be famous. I asked him if he wanted to be famous one day, and he shut the whole idea down so fast. “I was like, ‘OK, whatever, let’s see where this goes.’ It was just constant noise at my house. “When he first started singing, he wasn’t the greatest,” Aaliyah, playing the classic mischievous sister role, said with a laugh of her older brother. He has a home-cooked meal courtesy of his mom, and picks up his younger sister Aaliyah and the two drive to a soccer field where the “Treat You Better” singer would hang out with his friends. I don’t think I’ll be able to write songs that do it justice, that can really capture the things and feelings with her.”Īt one point in In Wonder, Mendes returns to his hometown in the suburbs of Toronto, Canada. Like, every song I ever wrote.’ She literally had no idea. They’ve always been about you.’ She goes, ‘What do you mean?’ I’m like, ‘They’re all about you. “We were in New York and a song comes on the radio or something, and the fact comes up that it’s about her,” he recalled in perhaps one of the sweetest moments of the film, “And I’m like, ‘Yeah, it’s about you. “She’s got my back, and I think that’s what your partner is for.” “She was always there to look out for me as a human being,” Mendes said of his girlfriend and fellow singer. Tender moments of young love were weaved in throughout In Wonder, especially as the duo prepared for their steamy performance at the 2019 VMAs.

Hearing the first notes of a new Paysage d’Hiver record (a wild thought considering the last one only came out in 2020) or the utter elation of Old Nick’s synths or the crushing atmosphere of Dream Unending’s debut was enough to realise that music is a saviour and I am eternally grateful for the artists who have continued to work under the strangest of circumstances to bring their visions to life.Ģ0.
