Music News with Sam Smith and Shawn Mendes

Sam Smith encouraged fans to use his new Instagram filter on Tuesday (November 17th). His demonstration of the new “Love Goes” filter showed yellow flowers floating across the screen while “Kids Again” played in the background. Smith wrote on Twitter, “I want to see you all using my #LoveGoes filter with your favourite tracks,” and encouraged fans to tag him in their Instagram videos.

Shawn Mendes told Apple Music’s Zane Lowe that his struggle with anxiety was so severe that it almost ruined his relationship with Camila Cabello. According to Mendes, he was so afraid of being seen as weak that he stopped opening up to her. Things only started to improve after he admitted he was struggling.

Hailey Bieber set the record straight. Justin Bieber never dated her while he was seeing Selena Gomez. She told Ashley Graham’s Pretty Big Deal podcast, “Contrary to popular belief, he had been single for a while and I had been single and we were kind of just trying to figure life out.”
