Soooo apparently Shawn Mendes ISN’T dating Hailey Baldwin, according to this interview
Looooook at what he said

On Monday, the ENTIRE internet was freaking out about the Met Gala. The Met Gala is basically like prom, but with really rich and beautiful people. No Beckys with braces, like your high school dance. And just like prom, it's a major reveal moment for lots of couples.
That's why Shawn Mendes fans — and just the general pop fan population — was freaking out when he stepped on the red carpet with model Hailey Baldwin. Everyone instantly assumed the two were dating, especially after they had been seen in public together so many times in recent months. It seemed like the final confirmation the pair was an official THING.
But Shawn has thrown a wrench in romance as we know it. He told W Magazine that he's just "really good friends" with Hailey. He was super, super careful to only use the word friend. Not girlfriend. Friend. Like she's one of his bros who plays Playstation and eats pizza with him. If the rich and famous do such things.
Shawn went on to say of his GOOD FRIEND at the Met Gala: "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."
Sounds like the two aren't dating or Shawn's a dick for calling his girlfriend a friend he likes to "walk with." I am personally very confused. And more so saddened that love doesn't exist in real life. The rumors are true, y'all. Fuck him and steal his money.
