Shawn Mendes is finally telling the truth about that awkward “kiss” he gave Camila Cabello.
Fans may recall how Shawmila made headlines in September 2019 after posting a bizarre Instagram video of the then-rumored couple swapping spit to prove that they’re good kissers.
“We saw on Twitter and stuff you guys saying stuff about the way we were kissing and how it looks weird. Like, we kiss like fish,” the “Wonder” crooner says, to which Cabello jokingly adds, “it really hurt our feelings.”Unable to let the gossip go, the stars proceeded to smooch before suddenly moving to actually lick each other’s faces.
Speaking about the kiss on Dax Shepard's podcast Armchair Expert, Mendes admitted the couple may have been under the influence of alcohol at the time of recording the hilarious video.
“We might’ve had a little too much tequila one night and just, like, recorded ourselves making out like as though we were, like, just monsters to get a rise out of people,” the “In My Blood” singer admitted. “I think it just felt like everyone was just talking about it and taking photos and there’s paparazzi hiding in bushes and it was like, what if we just post a photo, like, licking each other’s face, like no one’s ever seen us kiss.”
“We’re just gonna go full-on, like, gross,” he added. “And people were so offended by it and so excited by it, too. It was like this really intense thing.”
