Shawn Mendes & Hailey Baldwin Might Not Actually Be Dating

Although it looked like Shawn Mendes and Hailey Baldwin made their couple debut at the 2018 Met Gala, Shawn still says the two are just “really good friends.”

The “Treat You Better” crooner dished on his friendship with the Drop the Mic host while speaking to W magazine, in an interview released the day after the event.

“We’re really good friends,” he stated. “It’s funny, she’s such a pro with this type of stuff. I want it to be amazing for her, so I’ve been trying for the past 24 hours to be really silly so that she stays on. I’m happy to walk with her — she’s amazing.”

“I think that the best way you can confess your feelings for someone is through music,” he continued. “If I can actually create the music and sing it, and use that, then I’m gonna do it. And for me, creating music for people to hear how I truly feel is nice.”

“I wrote a song on the new album confessing my feelings for somebody, which I’ve never truly done before,” he added, without naming any names. “Everything has been about breakup, or hurt, or whether I’ve felt it or not. But I never truly wrote a song about somebody confessing the way I felt, which is a terrifying thing to do.”

Hmm.
