Camila Cabello & Shawn Mendes were the absolute cutest at the MTV VMAs

2019 MTV VMA Press Room

YOU GUYS. I love Camila Cabello and Shawn Mendes and their love is real and they will be together forever and I don’t want to hear one more word against them. THEY ARE REAL. And they are adorable. While Shawn and Camila didn’t walk the carpet together at the arrival, they did happily pose together backstage after they won a VMA. Camila’s white dress is Balmain – it’s not what I would have chosen for her, but it’s fine.

Shawn Mendes actually got to perform twice – he did a solo performance early in the show, then late into the show, he and Camila did “Senorita.” And it was sexy, damn it! Is it just me or was Shawn Mendes kind of off-key at the beginning of “Senorita”? But it doesn’t matter because they are HOT. I’m not even joking. I love watching their awkward AF chemistry. So performative, so sweet.

Camila and Shawn also picked up VMAs for Best Collaboration and Best Cinematography. I wish MTV gave out VMAs for Best Stunt Couple. I love them.

    Lol her singing is always off key. At least Shawn can sing. Sorry, I know I’m being grumpy and sure they are cute but I cannot stand that woman’s voice. Famous despite a screechy voice. How annoying

    • Mtec says:

      Omg thank you!! I dislike her voice as well.

      Also “Señorita” just sounds like a first draft version of “Havana” the two songs start basically the same, have practically the same rhythm, and she basically just replaced the “ooh na nas” with “la la las”. As a latin person, it always also irked me that she was singing about Havana but the song was all pop and had barely any latin influence or instruments, def not Cuban at all in any way. It was just lazy pandering. It’s like she had to break out of the girl group, and they decided to amp up her latin heritage but not make her “too latina”…it truly boggled my mind when everyone started praising that song, and this one to for that matter. Both lazy, derivative, unimaginative and terrible

      • Am says:

        It’s cuz she a coconut. Brown outside and white inside. Most “latinos” adapt/assimilate rather easily to white society/supremacy.

    • Michael says:

      Most of the top acts today can’t sing.

  2. Lucy2 says:

    That dress looks like some sort of bathing suit got twisted around with toilet paper. It’s terrible!

  3. effy says:

    Her voice is so terrible. I cannot understand how she is a singer…
    Plus how annoying the ya thing, it’s you, let’s not destroy the english language please.

    • Spicecake38 says:

      I’m totally with ya on the use of the non word ya!Hate it,and I feel like I’m back in HS when we signed each other’s yearbooks with Love Ya 🙄

  4. gingersnaps says:

    Lol! Best stunt couple! I’m all for it. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

  5. Steph says:

    Actually worst stunt ever. I think entertainment weekly released an article that was suppose to be for Monday, one week ago. Lol this stunt and their contract is embarrassing

    • Léna says:

      I can’t believe how little chemistry they have. I see nothing IMO

      • theothercleo says:

        I don’t care about either of them or their music so this was my first time watching those two perform together and…do people actually think this is an actual relationship? As you said Léna, I see no chemistry here.
        I can see why all the teenage girls around me are in love with him because he’s very cute,quite charming and can sing but I don’t really understand her appeal, I basically saw a bad actress trying to make sexy faces.
        Anyway, I was born in the early 90’s so I guess I’m just not their target audience.

      • ccsays says:

        Seriously. Lizzo had more sexual chemistry with herself than these two had with each other.

  6. dlc says:

    I’ve never heard her live but I love her voice on songs I’ve heard.

  7. Cidy says:

    Her dress omg lmao I snorted. What is going on with all the loops and ties??

  8. Spicecake38 says:

    Saw him perform solo last night,he’s good,I’ve always thought so,and just so cute.

  9. Adrien says:

    If she can make another song that sounds exactly like Havana then Lil NasX can milk Old Town Road as much as he can. Anyway, can we just talk about Normani?

  10. Annie... says:

    I love her voice, it is very unique and I really enjoy listening to her.
    The performance was very good!

  11. Lizzie says:

    i saw him live a few weeks ago. he is a great singer and performer. he seems so stiff and mechanical in these award show performances. you can tell he’s just much more comfortable playing with his band instead of being alone on a stage.

    her voice is terrible. their song irritates me bc why perform a duet without singing harmony? two people singing the same notes an octave apart is not harmony. LOTS of newer songs do this shit and it just shows a real lack of musical talent, IMHO. 2 people are not necessary on seniorita – particularly since the tones of their voices and style of singing don’t really blend well. also – she needs a damn haircut.

  12. Kebbie says:

    I wish he would wear sleeves. He’d look hot in a plain white tee. The white tank tops are just weird, like he’s trying too hard.

  13. stormsmama says:

    They are adorable!

  14. Daisy says:

    Her first note hurt my ears. Also I saw someone calling him Yawn Mendes on twitter an I can’t stop thinking about it.

  15. Michael says:

    Now that they have not #1 with their song let’s see how much longer this”love” lasts. They have achieved their goal so now it is time for the better off as friends speech

    • Woppies says:

      Their fans (who are most likely much younger than me) are eating it up, aside from shades that it’s fake it seems pretty profitable to keep it up.

  16. Samantha says:

    These two have one of the fakest ‘relationships’ out there at the moment. One is rumoured to play for the other team, and the other less talented one is permanently desperate for attention and willing to run with it. Both get something out of it, but please don’t expect the rest of us to fall for any of their publicist-organised nonsense.

  17. PlaidSheets says:

    Those two had absolutely no chemistry. It was hard to watch.

  18. ME says:

    Camilla reallyyyyy needs a new stylist. This girl is always dressed for prom or the Oscars. I just don’t get it.

  19. Eenie Googles says:

    The fact that they are so bad at this but think they’re pulling it off make me feel equal parts annoyance and pity.
    This feeling is the opposite of “hot.”

    • Kebbie says:

      I saw the reaction shots after they didn’t kiss during their performance and I felt like it was a bizarro world or something. Sophie Turner and Bebe Rexha were all disappointed and Taylor Swift was fanning herself. Like…what? I was cringing at their performance because it was so performative and fake. No actual heat at all.

  20. Lala11_7 says:

    J-Lo did that dress style better….

    Seriously…WHO IS HER WARDROBE PERSON??!?!?!

  21. Snowslow says:

    Are they in costume?! The style is too bad to be on purpose.

  22. Michael says:

    I worry about the oldies industry. Nothing of what I saw last night will be remotely listenable to in 30-40 years. They will have to still be playing the stuff they are playing today.

  23. sammiches says:

    I wish stupid MTV would allow these videos to be viewed outside the States. Argh.

  24. DINA says:

    Has anyone been reading about Shawn’s old racist tweets? Surprised I haven’t seen that covered yet on Celebitchy.

  25. Bea says:

    PR couple… I hope they’ll tone it down now that they hit number one, they’re exhausting

  26. Parigo says:

    “Awkward AF chemistry”, “best stunt couple”…. Many gems in this post.
