From the time they met back in 2014 when touring with singer Austin Mahone as supporting acts, Camila Cabello and Shawn Mendes have had to deny reports of being an item.
Now that Camila has just split with her British boyfriend Matthew Hussey the pair are back in the spotlight, especially after their steamy collaboration in super hit Señorita. But despite their undeniable chemistry, the two maintain they are just old pals who admire and love each other. So we're taking a trip down memory lane to remember the best moments of their close relationship.
Backstage memories
“I remember I wanted to hang out with you, but you were always on the tour bus, just learning guitar,” Camila explained when asked about how they met in a recent interview for V Magazine. The Cuban singer was still part of girl band Fifth Harmony when a younger Shawn caught her attention. “Yeah, that was me. I didn’t talk to anybody. You were the only person that talked to me. Like, you were the only one of everybody on that tour who would say words to me,” replied Shawn in the same interview.
Together again
One year after they first met, the friends worked together on their first collaboration. Both artists had kept in touch via social media but when they met backstage at a Taylor Swift concert, they knew they had to do something together. “He pulled out his guitar,” Camila recalled during an interview for Sirius XM radio show, “and he started jamming, we started coming up with melodies, and we started voice-recording it, and so we had a song in like, in 30 minutes we had half of the song.” And so, their first hit together - I Know What You Did Last Summer – was born.
