Shawn Mendes just spilled the beans on the most epic lesson he learned in 2023, and it’s not how to juggle flaming torches or tame wild unicorns (though we wish it were).
Picture this: Shawn deciding to grace Instagram with a video of himself serenading the world with his harmonium skills. I mean, he was so immersed in the music that even his harmonium probably asked for an encore!
In this video extravaganza, Shawn spilled his secrets about embracing life’s lows without going on a crazy mission to change everything. “Last year, I perfected the art of singing like this. Turns out, when I was drowning in anxiety or fear, all I had to do was sit with my harmonium and let it rip. Trust me, it worked wonders,” confessed the 25-year-old heartthrob.
He went on, “Initially, it felt like trying to dance salsa with two left feet, singing without the need for perfection. But guess what? I started to fall in love with the chaotic symphony of hitting the right and the oh-so-wrong notes.”
And hold your hats, because Shawn dropped some serious wisdom bombs: “Those moments of bliss and euphoria from the ‘right’ notes? Yeah, they exist because of the rebellious ‘wrong’ notes. I can sing in key because I’ve mastered the art of listening, my friends.”
Shawn, in his infinite wisdom, shared the ultimate lesson he gleaned from a year filled with heartbreaks and life’s little speed bumps. Brace yourselves. “The biggest revelation for me this year is to embrace the lows of life without going all superhero to fix everything and get high again,” declared the Stitches singer.
He concluded with, “Because, you know, if I slow down and really listen when I’m in the dumps, there’s always something to hear.” Deep stuff, Shawn, deep stuff.
Oh, and did we mention John Mayer slid into the comments section with three black heart emojis? Yeah, even the pros are vibing with Shawn’s harmonium therapy.
And the fans? Well, they showered Shawn with messages of encouragement like, “You’ve got an amazing soul, facing challenges like a superhero,” and “Congrats, man! It’s good to have you back from your harmonium-induced enlightenment journey.” Who knew a harmonium could be a life coach, right?
