Shawn Mendes is a Grammy-nominated and award-winning Canadian singer-songwriter who rocketed to recognition as an online sensation thanks to his vines when he was 14 years old. Vine was a video-sharing platform that was popular among teenagers for uploading funny, six-second looping video clips. It is now defunct. Shawn used Vine to record covers of well-known songs.
The chorus from Justin Bieber’s “As Long As You Love Me” was one of his covers, which received over 10,000 likes overnight. He gained 300,000 Vine and Twitter followers in just four months! Before Vine was shut down in 2016, he had amassed a large following and amassed over half a billion views.
Illuminate, his sophomore studio album, was released in 2016, preceded by the single “Treat You Better” and his debut studio album Handwritten, whose single “Stitches” debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200.
Mendes’ popularity grew to the point where he began attending meet-and-greet conventions (MAGCONs) with other social media celebrities such as Nash Grier, Aaron Carpenter, Cameron Dallas, and Brent Rivera.
