Shawn Mendes is BACK — and this time, he’s celebrating a whole decade of making you cry, swoon, and dramatically stare out car windows like you’re in a music video. Yes, it’s been TEN YEARS since the Canadian heartthrob strummed his first acoustic heartbreak anthem and launched a thousand Tumblr GIFs. To honor this milestone, he’s going “On The Road Again” in 2025. And no, not with Willie Nelson — though that collab would slap.
Mr. Mendes Has Entered His Victory Lap Era
In case you’ve been too busy rewatching old Vine compilations (where this king got his start, btw), Shawn’s reminding us that he’s been serenading us since 2015. And now he’s dusted off the guitar, hydrated with lemon water, and is ready to serve vocals and vulnerability across Europe and North America.
“I’ve had some time off to frolic, journal, and probably drink a matcha or two,” Shawn said, probably while gazing wistfully into the Canadian wilderness. “But now I’m ready to cry-sing on stage again and hug thousands of strangers. Let’s GO.”
Tour Dates: Catch the Mendes Madness in a City Near You
The tour kicks off in Europe in August (because of course he’s doing festivals first — the man knows his crowd), and then he’ll bless North America with his angelic falsetto in September and October.
