**Shawn Mendes** appears to have addressed gay rumours in a preview performance of his new song *The Mountain*.

Although the official track has not yet been released, the 26-year-old played the number for his fans at a recent concert date.

‘Some days, I have a change of heart. You can say what you need to say,’ he sang, in video footage that a fan has posted to TikTok.

‘You can say I’m too young. You can I’m too old. You can say I like girls or boys,’ he continued to a round of applause. ‘Whatever fits your mould.’

Although he has been the object of wild speculation about his sexuality, Shawn has only ever publicly dated women, such as **Camila Cabello**.

Shawn previously flatly denied that he was gay in a Snapchat message to his fans in 2016, while urging them to concentrate on his work.

‘So I don’t usually do this and bring up problems, but I was on YouTube just watching some of my interviews, and I was going down the comments and noticed a lot of people were saying that I gave them a “gay vibe,”‘ he said.

‘First of all, I’m not gay. Second of all, it shouldn’t make a difference if I was or if I wasn’t. The focus should be on the music and not my sexuality.’
