Shawn Mendes Shouts-Out Johnny Orlando on 'Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon'

Shawn Mendes was himself discovered on Youtube, so it blows his mind when rising stars like Johnny Orlando gain fame using his songs.

“There’s this video of this kid singing ‘Stitches,’” Shawn tells Jimmy Fallon in an interview Wednesday night (September 13).

“He like reenacts the whole video of like me getting hit and stuff — he does it better than me too, and he’s better looking too — it has like 80 million views! It’s like this re-made version of my song.”

He is referring, of course, to Johnny, who was appropriately enthused to be mentioned on TV.

“when @ShawnMendes talks about you on @jimmyfallon,” he tweeted yesterday (September 14).
