Shawn Mendes put on a thrilling performance in Nashville, Tennessee on Monday

There were also some depressing times.

He dedicated a song titled “Golden Heart” to a former buddy who he said passed away from an overdose. Although he did not identify the friend, it was obvious that they were close. It was a really emotional moment when Shawn said he missed dad. Because it was such a depressing time, I thought I saw Shawn cry a little.

The song was so powerful that several people in the audience started crying. I also started crying.

Mendes also talked about a “tough time” he had gone through and invited those who supported him to the stage.
