Here is what Shawn said tonight:
[bold]I started working and traveling a lot and it was the most beautiful thing, but the truth is that I didn’t get to do a lot of the things that a 15-year-old does and discover parts of myself that you discover at 15. Since I was very young there’s always been this thing about my sexuality and people have been talking about it for a long time. I think it’s kind of silly because sexuality is such a beautifully complex thing and it’s so hard to just put it in boxes. So I always thought of it as an invasion, into something that’s so personal to me. Something that I was still discovering about myself, that I still had to discover, that I still have to figure out. I think I’m only speaking freely now because I want to be able to feel close to everyone and my truth. The real truth about my whole life and about my sexuality is that, I’m just figuring it out, just like everyone else. Sometimes I really don’t know, and sometimes I do. And it's really scary because we live in a society that has so much to say about this, and I'm trying to be really brave and just allow myself to be human, and feel things... I think that's all I have to say about it today.[/bold]

If you think about it, his development was probably arrested at 16 or 17 or however old he was when he became famous. If he hadn’t figured it out at that point (and many of us hadn’t) then I could see it being put on the back burner. Not to mention dealing with the general inherent incompatibility between being non-straight and the kind of pop star he aimed to be. He might just be finally getting to the point where all the people in his ear and the voice in his own head have receded enough for him to see a different way.

R42, see R55 and R60. Some people just figure it out late. It happens. Also, it is possible he was always gay but is just now inching out due to his career flopping. I don't think this queerbaiting as I think Shawn is actually bi or gay. However, I'm not naive. The timing is curious. He is not selling his music anymore, so he needs to create buzz to get people talking. Doesn't he have an album out in a few days? This is no coincidence imo.

Five years ago Harry Styles released his single Lights Up with an accompanying press release saying it had deliberately been released on National Coming Out Day. In the music video for the song he was grinding on men and women, bare chested.
His career went stratospheric after that. His album Fine Line debuted two months later with 478k, 200k more than his previous album.
Shawn is probably hoping for a similar renaissance.

R87 They wouldn't be bothered. I think music managers are still in living in the past - ie when all teenage girl fans wanted to date their favourite popstar and hence, if they came out, the management feared those teeny girls would lose interest.
Whereas I think the opposite is true. Teenage girls seem love to love gay men - I guess because they seem them as less threatening and 'cute' after shows like Heartstopper.
So Shawn coming out would be good for sales, not the opposite.

I think that's true for TV and movie stars (like the Heartstopper kids), not singers. How many teenage girl fans does Troye Sivan have? Or Olly Alexander? They need to feel like they have a shot with him and that he would do them backstage if they came to his concert, and possibly even marry them.
The mind of a teenage girl is a sick and boring one.

R92 Yeah I know this isn't politically correct, but when men come out as gay/bi in their mid 20s or later, I roll my eyes when they say things like "I just wasn't sure, I needed to explore it".
My experience won't be shared by all, but I knew I was gay in my early teens. I can understand not accepting it till maybe your mid or even late teens, but not well into adulthood. At that point it's just a story you tell to justify why you hid it for so long, when you'd just get more respect for telling the truth. Which is, "I was scared to come out because there's still too much homophobia about".

Not just his religious family - I'm sure ALL of his team - agent, manager, publicist - has been warning him forever to never come out. That his appeal is to young women and keep his mouth shut.
A young person trying to make it will listen to older adults - you really just don't have enough life experience or even a career to stand up to them.

Shawn - 26 year old Canadian singer
Harry - 30 year old English singer who was in the mega successful boyband One Direction from 2010-2015
Harry - no mental health issues. Loves huge world tours and had the highest grossing tour of 2022-23 after Elton John and Coldplay
Shawn - myriad mental health issues. Cancels tours.
Harry - Dated Olivia Wilde for two years but never claimed her publicly so his fans could stay in denial and pretend the relationship was a PR stunt
Shawn: Dated Camila Cabello for four years and still won't shut up about her. Plastered videos of them kissing all over his Instagram and lost half his fanbase
Harry: managed by Irving Azoff and very protected and well advised
Shawn: loose cannon
Harry: bisexual but only hints at it

I’m sure it’s difficult to balance self-respect, honesty and the demands of being a teenage heart-throb. He has my sympathy for being caught in that maelstrom as a gayling. But I think it’s rather cynical to play the coming out card just as your career seems to be over, and I don’t like blaming the delay on confusion.
When I was growing up gays were all but invisible, and being gay was seen as shameful secret . In that environment, a certain amount of confusion and struggle was quite normal. Today, I don’t believe that anyone has trouble knowing what it means to be attracted to your own sex.
I can’t really speak to the degree to which his religion created conflicts for him that he needed to sort out. But if that is the case what you are facing is confusion about your religion, not confusion about your sexuality.

R160, I don't think you understand the world Mendes inhabits. He has been a commodity since he was a child, he is the livelihood of many people. Every adult or authority figure he loves or trusts has said "you cannot be gay, it will DESTROY your career, your family and everyone who has invested in your success." That is ruinous of his self-esteem and well-being. He is not like the rest of us who live anonymously and don't carry the burden of feeling that being gay will make the sky fall on you and others.

He was in a trap that was perhaps not entirely of his own making (though it was largely of his own making as an adult). The trap was he was lying to his fans pretending to be someone he is not. Part of that lie was what appears to have been a bearding relationship with someone who may not want to tell the truth about it. That’s messy.
I don’t blame him for wanting out, but rather than say “I was afraid to tell you the truth because I thought you’d stop being my fans” he claims “confusion.” Maybe he has no choice if he doesn’t want to out what’s her name, but expedience only goes so far to justify another lie.

This is a perfect summary of Shawn from a reddit post:
[quote]: Just read the NYT feature on Shawn Mendes and I had some thoughts to share…I felt the article was extremely duplicitous. It paints a narrative that Shawn Mendes bravely quit music and left the industry in 2022 while at the pinnacle (their exact words) of his career. And yet… it’s hard to overlook that 2022 wasn’t exactly the pinnacle of Mendes’ career. His 2020 album was the 165th best selling album of the year. His 2018 album was the 55th of its year and his 2016 album was the 22nd best selling album of 2017. And he didn’t quit? He’s been here for the last two years, regularly posting on social media and releasing music.
[quote]: It got me thinking that Shawn Mendes’ biggest problem is just how atrociously confused his brand is... I feel like so much of his career was just him trying to have it both ways… playing both sides. He wants to be gay enough for his gay fans, but straight enough for his straight female fanbase. As a result, he will queerbait… but will shut down any speculation of his sexuality — even when he himself questions his sexuality publicly. He wants to be wholesome because he’s better than Justin Bieber, but doesn’t want you to forget that he can also be a bad boy like Justin Bieber. He tells us he doesn’t care nor need validation anymore, but has kept pumping out new singles in the hopes of landing a hit before the new album is released. He’s even doing an interview with the NYT in an effort to paint a narrative of some great hero’s return. Even the choice of the NYT stands out? Does his target audience even read the New York Times? I suppose we’ll have to wait until next week to find out what interviews he does next. You never know… we might see him do back to back interviews with the Financial Times, National Geographic Kids, and Playboy Magazine. It’s just sad and it doesn’t work because it doesn’t fool anyone and even puts off genuine fans who begin doubting who you really are as a person.
