SHAWN MENDES - rio de janeiro.

[shawnsmend]

sounds like you're riled up to me, but hey, what do i know? i'm using it to put you in your place, duh. yeah, i'm pretty sure height makes a difference in a fight, babe. and i'll keep calling you that, no matter how much you pretend to hate it. we both know you're lying. the only way you're gagging is... well, i don't have to finish that sentence for you to figure out what i'm referring to. interior decorating? i'm sorry, but there's nothing decorative about what i'd do to your insides. you can keep trying to put up this facade that you hate me, but if i were there in person and had your arms pinned over your head, you'd be begging me to fuck you.

and here i was thinking i would be devastated hearing these words. cute? you sound a little confused because i'm not riled up at all. i was simply wondering why you're using it? i understand my sounds sweet to you, but relax. fighting has nothing to do with height, mendes. don't make me gag, stick to using my full name because babe is not it. oh, don't take the compliment then see if i care? you get plenty of those anyway. mm, you'd hear it more if you rearrange my insides--unfortunately, as much as i love the idea of you interior decorating my insides. the world is not ending. so, you think i'm pretty? not the prettiest? i beg to differ. how can you say no to these big brown eyes? they make you smile, don't try to hide it.

shawn: reasonable? don't make me laugh. shawn: i didn't forget. but a reasonable amount of time has passed since we were a thing. it's not like we were dating for very long either. shawn: what, am i supposed to come pleading for your forgiveness a year later? most guys wouldn't even bother reaching out in the first place.

cindy: a perfectly reasonable amount of anger and disdain is what i would call it. cindy: and you seem to be forgetting how you kinda really hurt me there, shawn. cindy: i get it. maggie is amazing and i would choose her too but still ?? screw you for texting out of the blue like nothing happened and we're cool.

[shawnsmend]

private: i thought i was ready to see someone new after you broke my heart, but i wasn't. i didn't intentionally string cindy along unlike the way you kept acting like you were in love with me, but really, you just wanted me around so you wouldn't feel alone. i made a fucking mistake going back to you. is that what you want to hear? because it's the truth. good few years? did you already forget about coachella last year? oh right 'cause it probably didn't mean shit to you. whatever, maggie, just leave me alone. you've made it clear time and time again that our relationship meant nothing to you.

private: I didn't leave you for Jack. We broke up and I started dating him a little bit later. But that's real fucking rich, isn't it? You broke up with Cindy and then started seeing me again? I guess this is what they mean when they say the pot has called the kettle black. Are you just assuming that I would have said no to you? It doesn't matter much now, does it? We've broken up for a good few years now. Why is all this shit coming back up? Shouldn't we be over it? Cause like, what the fuck, dude?

[shawnsmend]

it's okay, we were both young and emotionally immature, and clearly not right for each other. just know that i don't hold any of it against you anymore. it's all water under the bridge, i promise. thank you, i'm glad you liked the single! it was hard getting out of my rut and re-learning to be confident in my music, but all that time in the studio (and in therapy) definitely paid off. yeah, i'm sure it's a lot of change to get used to, having to take care of a whole new human. what's your favorite part about being a mom?

at least we are both feeling lost. i know that it was a long time ago and so much has changed. i didn't handle it well and i'm sorry for that. i figured that it was time for me to reach out and say something. it's so weird to think about how long it's been. i think it's great that you are putting yourself back out there. i did listen to it, i think it's amazing. things are just sort of all over the place? moving, getting settled and forming a routine but i'm managing. so many changes in a small amount of time.

[shawnsmend]

a joint tour? that's honestly genius. we'd sell those tickets out within the hour. perfect, i'll see you soon then. maybe you can be a surprise guest performer. i remember the fans going wild when i came out for one of your shows. reckon we should do the same at mine?

we should just do a joint tour, that way we wouldn't have to go months without seeing each other, mate. i do have six show-free days coming up, so i'll definitely come to a show. i'm not one to break the bro code, so it sounds like a deal for me.

[shawnsmend]

if a movie was to be made about your life, who would you want to play you?

i'd love to see drew play me in a biopic on my life. but the question remains, can you sing, drew? if yes, the role's as good as yours. i don't think i'm old enough to have a movie made about my life yet, but down the road? bet. / @drewstarkvy

[shawnsmend]

who is your dream collaborator?

god... so many come to mind, but i think my ultimate dream person to collab with would be justin timberlake. he inspired my self-titled album and i just really admire him as an artist.

[shawnsmend]

what helps you stay sane amongst the chaos and crazy of being famous?

this sounds so valley girl of me, but meditation and yoga. i promise that it works. if i wasn't a singer, i'd likely venture into the wellness industry.

[shawnsmend]

rank the following spellings of your name from best to worst: shawn, sean, shaun.

shawn, shaun, and sean. someone needs to explain to me why sean is pronounced as shawn. shouldn't it pronounced as 'seen'? make it make sense, guys.

[shawnsmend]

have you ever had stitches? have you ever been lost in japan? has anything ever held you back?

first off, thank you for making me laugh with this ask, 'non. i've never had stitches, no. i have been lost in japan, though, the first time i traveled there. tokyo's pretty easy to get lost in, especially when you don't speak the language. for sure, there's been things that have held me back in the past, but i'm trying to get better at not letting fear keep me from doing what i love to do like performing onstage.

[shawnsmend]

who would you consider to be a good influence on you? and who would you consider to be a bad influence on you?

my best friend in the whole wide world, niall, usually has a good influence on me. his work ethic inspires me to write more music, and he's encouraged me to get out of my funk and start being more open again with my music after the bout of social anxiety i had last time i was on tour. a bad influence? margaret because she's always annoying me and making me want to tear my hair out. / @horansni @maggiestarlight

[shawnsmend]

who's better in bed: justin or shawn?

you really want me to tell you if an ex from years ago is better in bed than my ex husband? do you just have too much time on your hands? i will say this, they both know what they are doing. shawn doesn't disappoint in the slightest. alright? there. @shawnsmend

[shawnsmend]

private: throwing what in your face? the truth? i'm just asking you to stop making me look like i'm the bad guy when you left me high and dry for jack fucking antonoff. do i need to spell out the fact that i clearly wasn't over you when cindy and i were together? talk about being blind, my god. did you want me to propose to you or something? i didn't need any more rejection in my life, especially not from you.

private: yes, especially when you go and talk about the past like that. Throwing it all in my face and acting like I'm the only one to blame here. You made the choice to come back to me - so don't act like you're completely fucking innocent there, babe. You could have stayed with Cindy and told me that you didn't want me back. You always seemed so disinterested in taking anything further with our relationship so what was I meant to think?

[shawnsmend]

are you nervous about your return to the music scene?

at first, definitely. nervous was an understatement to describe how i was feeling. but now after performing at the vmas and rock 'n' rio, i've gotten more comfortable being on stage again. i'm happy to be back in the music scene, it's my happy place.

[shawnsmend]

Thinking back to your longest relationship, what would you change about it?

i would've woken up out of my delusion and gotten out of the relationship sooner than later since it was made clear to me later on that my feelings were stronger for them than theirs were for me.

[shawnsmend]

If you could collab with someone whos in the country music genre of music who would you like to collab with and why?

i would love to collab with kacey musgraves. her music really speaks to me, and i've been a fan of hers for the longest time. it'd definitely be a pinch me moment to work with her and release a song together.
