Shawn Mendes talks Joe Alwyn
Shawn Mendes took a lie detector test for Vanity Fair recently and he was asked some pretty awkward questions.
One in particular had to do with his friendship with Taylor Swift and his opinion of her boyfriend Joe Alwyn.

Shawn was asked if their friendship is still going strong.
He confirmed they're still close, they last spoke about a month ago and he's, "always asking her for advice on music."
The interviewer then asked the pop star if he, "approves," of Taylor's boyfriend Joe.

Shawn looked at a photo of the actor before saying, "I've never personally met Joe, but he looks like a sweet guy."
It didn't take long for the lie detector operator to call him out, "You're not telling the truth. You're being deceptive."
The artist explained, "Yeah, I mean, he's kind of got a little bit of a villain look about him."

"He looks like a nice guy but, like, he at any movement could turn into a villain, you know?"
Shawn further elaborated, "He's got really blue eyes and I struggle with eyes that blue, you know? Like I find it easier to trust brown eyes."
He paused, swallowed and added, "talked way too much about him."

Justin & Hailey
Shawn was also asked about his friendship with Justin Bieber and his history with Justin's wife Hailey.
The artist was asked if he was nervous around Justin when they first met, and Shawn replied, "Definitely."
He said when he gets nervous, his face twitches and he's pretty sure that happened when they first spoke.

Shawn was also asked, "Did the Met Gala get brought up?"
"No, never talked about that," the Treat You Better singer very awkwardly responded.
In case you've forgotten, Shawn and Justin's now wife Hailey attended the Met Gala together in 2018.
It wasn't long after this that she reunited with Justin and they tied the knot later that year.
But it's all water under the bridge now and Shawn is in a happy relationship with Camila Cabello.
They went public with their romance the following year.
