Shawn Mendes is officially the king of beach days this week, and we’re just here for the surf, sand, and, of course, the swoon-worthy selfies!
This 26-year-old heartthrob was first spotted flexing his sun-kissed vibes in Miami on Wednesday—because why not start the week with a tan that says, “I’m not just a singer; I’m also a professional beach bum”? Fast forward to Friday (September 20), and he’s trading Miami’s sunny shores for the breathtaking beaches of Rio de Janeiro, where he decided that surfing was a necessary part of his warm-up routine for his Rock in Rio performance. Who knew riding waves could also be an Olympic sport in the game of “I’m cooler than you”?
Accompanied by his pals (who were probably just there for the chance to take photos of Shawn), he took a break from the surf to kick a soccer ball around—because why not juggle sports when you can look this good doing it? Picture this: Shawn, with hair that could launch a thousand shampoo commercials, kicking the ball like he’s auditioning for a movie role titled “Brazillian Soccer Stud.”
He landed in Rio on Thursday, and what was his first order of business? Hitting the hotel pool to chill out, of course! Because nothing says “I’m ready for a festival” quite like lounging in a pool while practicing your best “I’m just here for the vibes” pose.
Shawn Mendes: professional singer, beach aficionado, and part-time soccer star. We can’t wait to see how he brings that beachy energy to the stage on Sunday!
