‘Pulling Up to My Own Funeral’: Shawn Mendes Jokes About His Grand MTV VMAs Entrance

by

As a dedicated follower of pop culture and a keen observer of celebrity dynamics, I find myself intrigued by the latest unfolding drama surrounding Shawn Mendes, Camila Cabello, and Sabrina Carpenter at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards. The red carpet was a veritable minefield of past relationships and rumored romances, with all three stars in attendance, each donning their unique styles that spoke volumes about their personalities.

Shawn Mendes playfully commented on his upcoming performance at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards, stating he felt like he was attending his own funeral. The 26-year-old artist humorously expressed this on Wednesday, September 11, before the awards ceremony, by sharing two photos of his planned outfit to hint at his appearance.

Mendes donned a black suit and a black collared shirt, cradling a guitar while flashing a distant smile. The caption for this moment was matched with Elvis Presley’s hit song “Can’t Help Falling in Love,” infusing an amusing touch to his memorable evening.

Mendes graced the stage at the awards ceremony, which took place at UBS Arena on Long Island, New York. Numerous prominent personalities made their way down the crimson carpet at this grand occasion.

At the event, Sabrina Carpenter, rumored to be Mendes’ former girlfriend, and Camila Cabello, who have had an on-and-off relationship with Mendes, were both in attendance. Notably, Mendes and Cabello, who share a romantic past, opted for a coordinated all-black attire theme. Cabello made a dramatic entrance in a gothic one-shouldered gown embellished with cross necklaces, while Mendes maintained a stylish appearance in a well-tailored black suit.

Instead of the original text:

Mendes and Cabello’s romance has had its ups and downs since their 2019 duet “Señorita” was released. They confirmed their breakup in 2021, having been together for over two years. After parting ways, Cabello expressed on social media that they chose to end their romantic relationship, but their bond as individuals remains strong.

Regardless, whispers of a possible reunion surfaced when Mendes and Cabello attended Coachella in April 2023 and later the Copa América final. Yet, it was verified that they had not reconciled; instead, their connection was characterized as purely friendly.

In the time apart, rumors connected Mendes with Sabrina Carpenter. The two were seen together at Miley Cyrus’ Endless Summer Vacation album launch party in March 2023; however, Mendes subsequently refuted claims that they were romantically involved.

The latest album by Carpenter, titled “Short n’ Sweet,” seems to delve into the speculated relationship dynamics involving Mendes and Cabello. Tracks such as “Taste,” “Dumb and Poetic,” and “Coincidence” appear to explore the love triangle, with lyrics hinting at references to Mendes and Cabello.

Cabello released the song “Can Friends Kiss?” on September 6 as part of the expanded edition of her album C, XOXO. The lyrics, “I don’t like your new girl; she doesn’t excite me / Whenever you mention her, I become irritable,” seem to touch upon the ongoing rumors and her emotions regarding Carpenter.
