Everything means nothing if we can’t have SHAWN!
By Madison Kerth — Written on Jul 19, 2019
One of God’s greatest gifts to millennial culture was Vine (RIP). The now-unavailable app was responsible for keeping thousands of users entertained for hours with 6-second videos of pure joy. Most of the content from Vine was of the comedic genre, but the app was also instrumental in launching the careers of singers, songwriters, and a few now-YouTube stars.
In 2013, Shawn Mendes gained a following posting quick covers of popular songs. Who could forget his Earth-shattering rendition of Summertime Sadness? I genuinely remember where I was and what I was doing when I saw it for the first time. And with a few posts, America’s obsession with this Canadian performer began.
Since his Vine days, Shawn has signed with Island and Republic Records to produce three studio albums, launched three world tours, and stolen the hearts of every 20-something girl across the planet.
Shawn also caught the attention of the international agency, Wilhelmina Models. In 2017, he walked the "Emporio Armani Spring 2018" show in Milan, Italy and later became the ambassador for Emporio Armani's entire "Fall-Winter 2018-2019" watch collection. This year, Shawn broke the internet with his Calvin Klein partnership. I can neither confirm nor deny the fact that those posters are currently hanging in my bedroom…
Shawn has also made a few TV appearances. He’s been on all of the major celebrity talk shows like The Ellen Show, The Late Late Show with James Corden, and The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. He performed in the televised broadcast of Queen Elizabeth II’s 92nd birthday. He was even featured in an episode of The 100 on the CW as a musically inclined teen in the throes of a dystopian future.
Whether you and your besties are riding with the windows down and jamming out to “If I Can’t Have You” or “There’s Nothing Holdin’ Me Back,” your summer is sure to be one to remember with Shawn Mendes on your playlist.
Beyond writing the perfect summer bops, it is impossible to ignore Shawn’s literally god-like looks and sexy song lyrics. We are sure to be going all heart-eyes over these Instagram posts and Shawn Mendes quotes for the foreseeable future!
