Shawn Mendes dons smart suit at MTV EMAs in first red carpet appearance since addressing Sєxuality

Shawn Mendes was in great spirits on the red carpet of the MTV Europe Music Awards in Manchester, England on Sunday afternoon.

The hitmaker looked smart and stylish as he made his way to the annual celebration at the Co-op Live theater.

It marked his first red carpet appearance since he revealed last month he was still ‘figuring’ out his Sєxuality.  

Mendes, 26, donned a classic black suit with a cream toned ʙuттon down shirt which offered a glimpse of his toned chest. 

He wore a red poppy as a boutonniere, which is common in the UK and the singer’s native Canada in the lead up to Armistice Day on November 11,  (Veterans Day in the US) as a symbol of remembrance for those who have lost their lives in war.

The MTV VMA winner thrilled fans when he posed for a selfie with them on the red carpet. 

After an absence from the music business, Mendes has been preparing for a new album release.

The singer/songwriter opened up about a very personal experience in one of his songs, revealing there was a moment when he thought he might be a dad. 

In the track, Why Why Why from the new album, Shawn, he sings about the pregnancy scare he shared with an unnamed partner.

‘Thought I was about to be a father / Shook me to the core, I’m still a kid / Sometimes I still cry out for my mother,’ go the lyrics.

Going through that experience ‘taught me a lot as a man,’ the It’ll Be Okay artist told The New York Times.

The hitmaker was initially against writing about that fraught period in his life, when one of his collaborators suggested it might be good for a song, but later changed his mind.

‘I was like, “why am I doing this if not to write about those kinds of complexities?”‘ he told the publication. 

‘And also, I wanted to break down any walls that were remaining, between me and people listening.’

The song also deals with Mendes’ mental health struggles. 

Shawn is set to release November 15.
