Shawn Mendes Covers Variety’s “Power Of Young Hollywood” Issue

Shawn Mendes is on the cover of Variety magazine’s latest issue. The young singer is on the cover as part of Variety’s annual “Power Of Young Hollywood” issue. Highlights from his interview are below.

On John Mayer: “Mayer is such an incredible person to idolize because he had an entire fan base when he was young, but now he’s 40 and all those people still love him but his music has transcended time and generations. It’s so impressive to be able to do that — to become something different without losing those people.”

On relationships: “I’m not currently dating anyone, but it’s not because I don’t have time — I don’t know if I’d be dating anyone if I was home in Pickering, either,. It hasn’t stumbled across me, and I’m not chasing it. Of course, seeing all those other artists and people in relationships, you think, ‘Maybe it would be nice; who would be great for me?’ And that’s when you realize: ‘This is wrong. Let it be. I’m not supposed to be with anyone right now.'”
