Shawn Mendes Tour Background
It seems like just yesterday that Shawn Mendes was that fresh-faced kid with the boyish charm and smooth voice. Now, hes grown from a rising sensation to a bonafide pop star. His 2019 tour is already gearing up to be a success considering how tickets sold out within minutes.
Shawn Mendes: The Tour will support his latest album release, the self-titled Shawn Mendes. It spawned five charting singles - In My Blood, Lost in Japan, Youth, Where Were You in the Morning, and Nervous.
The album also received overwhelmingly positive reviews, with many critics citing Mendes newly found artistic maturity. He also enlisted the help of fellow pop talents like Khalid, Julia Michaels, and Ed Sheeran as co-writers and feature vocalists.
This Tour Demonstrates Shawn Mendes Growth
In an interview with Billboard Magazine, concert promoter Louis Messina of Messina Touring Group described his amazement at Mendes growth.
He recalled how Mendes went from opening for Taylor Swifts 1989 tour to now headlining his own concert. Messina said of Mendes that he always had the vision, dream, and determination and it has worked.
Messina also went on to say that this would be the first of many stadium tours in the near future for Shawn.
The reviews of Shawn Mendes live shows have been positive, as well. In a fall review by the Austin Chronicle, writer Alejandra Ramirez detailed how Mendes opened the Austin, Texas show asserting his arena-seasoned dominance and alluded to his versatility by describing the ease at which he performed different songs with varying styles.
