Shawn Mendes made a memorable appearance at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards, not only for his performance but also for walking the red carpet with a special guest—his sister, Aaliyah Mendes. Fans initially speculated about their relationship due to their close presence at the event, but Mendes quickly cleared up any confusion, posting on X (formerly Twitter), “That’s my sister,” accompanied by crying emojis and hearts aflame.
The sibling duo caught the attention of photographers and fans alike as they posed together in matching black outfits. Shawn sported a sleek Dolce & Gabbana suit, while Aaliyah opted for a black corset and satin skirt, her hair elegantly styled in a bun. The coordinated looks brought an added touch of elegance to the event, marking their red carpet debut together.
The night wasn’t just about family, as Mendes’ love life also drew attention. His past relationships, especially with ex-girlfriend Camila Cabello, were a topic of discussion throughout the evening. Cabello performed at the VMAs and mentioned she was in her “Godspeed era,” symbolizing her focus on moving forward from negativity. Interestingly, Mendes had made a similar statement on social media, joking about attending his own “funeral,” a metaphor many fans believe was connected to his past romance with Cabello.
Adding fuel to the fire, Sabrina Carpenter, another rumored romantic link to Mendes, also performed at the VMAs. Fans speculated that Carpenter’s song “Taste” might be inspired by Mendes’ on-and-off relationship with Cabello, adding another layer of intrigue to the event.
Overall, Mendes’ VMAs presence not only showcased his musical talent but also sparked conversations about his personal life, with his appearance alongside his sister and ex-girlfriend generating buzz both online and at the event.
