Shawn Mendes wows the crowd

Illuminate the World tour

Shawn Mendes fans gathered at the Xcel Energy Center on August 6th to see the musician on his Illuminate the World tour. Among the Mendes admirers stood supporters of the opening act, Charlie Puth. The “See you Again” singer got the crowd hyped up with a couple of his hit songs, such as “One Call Away” and “Attention”.  After a few tunes, Puth left the stage and turned things over to Shawn.  

As Mendes emerged from the ground, the crowd went crazy.   The teenage heartthrob held the audience in the palm of his hand. When Mendes started to sing his popular song, “Stitches,” the arena echoed with the thousands of voices singing along.  Pre-teen girls swooned and sang at the top of their lungs as Mendes put on a quality concert.
