Camila Cabello Opens Up About Her ‘Beautiful’ Friendship With Shawn Mendes

However in spite of the fact that the rumored couple hasn't confirmed anything themselves, they aren't exactly doing anything to quell the gossip, either. As a substitute, Cabello gushed all about her longtime friendship with Mendes in a recent interview with Clash — and if you're not swooning over this duo already, prepare for major butterflies.


After explaining to the mag that making companions in the music industry has been something she's struggled with, the former Fifth Harmony member mentioned that she feels lucky to have a close circle of people around her that she can trust with anything.

"I feel like it's so rare to meet someone in this industry and find a person of that excellent, and I feel like Shawn is that person for me," she added.

"I just trust him, and no matter the level of intensity that he has around his career or I have, he is just usual, and that is so rare and precious to find in this industry," she mentioned. "To have the ability to hang out with someone and you also don't really care that they're Shawn Mendes, you know what I mean? You're just people..."


And maybe this common friendship they've cultivated over the years is one of the reasons they work so well with each other. Immediately considering that, their chemistry in the "Señorita" music video is hard to deny — and let's not forget that the two released another fire teamwork, "I Know What You Did Last Summer," back in 2015. "It's one of the most organic things in the world for he and I to do a song together," Cabello mentioned. "I think I've actually known him the longest out of anybody in the music industry — we've been in every other's lives for like four or five years, and it's been really cute to kinda grow up together."

Plus, dating or not, it's clear that the rumored pair will constantly be in every other's future.
