Shawn Mendes sat down for a Q&A at the GRAMMY Museum this week, where he opened up about a variety of subjects, including his maturing musical sound.
“Now I'm 20, and everybody who was 15 listening to me back then is now 20," he shares. "And they have grown up, too. I'm not afraid of [losing my audience]. I'm not afraid of becoming more mature."
Mendes was also asked about his “Truth Is” journal, although he was shocked that the moderator even knew about it. “Wow, how did you know this?" the pop singer asked. "Did I say this in an interview?!"
As for what it actually is, Shawn explains, “So, I have a journal, and in the journal, I basically go, 'Truth Is...' And I write everything that's true.” He notes, “And I think a lot of the times we lie to ourselves about life and how we feel about people or about things, and I go—no matter how crazy or how obscure this thought is—I go, 'The truth is, this is how I feel about this.' And that's what I have."
Finally, he offers, "And I'll never tell you what's inside."
