Shawn Mendes Clears the Air on Being Single

Last night, Shawn Mendes stepped out to celebrate Variety’s Power of Young Hollywood issue.
“Extra’s” Renee Bargh spoke to Mendes, who clarified his statements in the issue about being single. He reiterated, “I didn’t mean it like I have to be single, I meant love isn’t something you should chase because then it isn’t real, so you have to just kind of let it happen.”

@@northwind1153 I dunno man, listening to him over the years he seems fairly genuine...I think he's a smart guy, doesn't pretend to be someone he isn't and I think thats why people appreciate him as a person.

Sometimes artist talk in contradictory. When he talked about being single, I meant love isn’t something you should chase because then it isn’t real, so you have to just kind of let it happen. This year, in Q& A Shanghai China, he said that you have to fight for someone you truly love. then eventually you will have them. I find that celebrity to say whatever to suit their needs.

Can ask you something, from the Shawn fan to another Shawn fan: Do you want Shawn to have a girlfriend? Me yes, but of course, I want to know if she knows how to take care of him and how to love him as we all do. Then, if he has a girlfriend, he would totally agree. I mean if she makes him happy, why not? I only want the best for him!! I mean if you don't want, why? And you guys? What you think? I really want to know your opinion. Comment! #MendesArmy💗
