Shawn Mendes laughs off love triangle rumors involving Camila Cabello with 'funeral' joke ahead of VMAs

ELMONT, NEW YORK: Shawn Mendes seized the perfect moment to make a joke.

Before attending the 2024 MTV VMAs, where he would encounter his ex-girlfriend Camila Cabello and past interest Sabrina Carpenter, the singer of 'If I Can't Have You' humorously addressed the rumored love triangle on Instagram.

"Pulling up to my own funeral," Mendes captioned the steamy pictures of himself playing the guitar, dressed entirely in black.

Camila Cabello’s funeral look and Shawn Mendes’ cryptic caption fuel rumors

In a surprising turn of events, his 'Senorita' collaborator, with whom he was romantically involved from 2019 to 2021 and briefly in 2023, made an appearance on the red carpet donning a black veil and funeral attire, complemented by her brunette hair, OK Magazine reported.

Furthermore, the music video for 'Taste' by Carpenter features a well-known funeral scene, which is rumored to be about Mendes and Cabello

While it remains uncertain whether the Canadian native's caption is related to Cabello's appearance and Carpenter's music video, fans have drawn connections between the remark and the rumored circumstances involving the former couple and the blonde singer's purported complex dating scenario.

"Love that Camila wearing a veil and Shawn said he arriving at his own funeral," A user noted on X.

Another questioned, "So Shawn said funeral, Camila said funeral, they're both in black, her hair is back. Did they plan this? Lol #VMAs"

The third commentator remarked, "They are both look too good for shawn mendez".

"Oh she's attending blonde camila's funeral THIS ATEEEEEEE," one remarked.

A person said, "Shawn mendes captioning his ig pics as “pulling up to my own funeral” knowing he is going to the vmas where sabrina and camila are is actually so funny "

Shawn Mendes and Sabrina Carpenter’s history sparks speculation as Camila Cabello’s lyrics resurface

According to reports, Mendes and Carpenter were briefly dating at the beginning of 2023. Merely a few months afterward, the 'Stitches' artist was spotted flirting with the 'Havana' crooner during Coachella.

After dating once more for a few months, the two ended things. The former power couple was spotted together in July, though, at the Copa America championship in Miami.

In the song 'Taste' from her successful album 'Short n’ Sweet,' the former Disney Channel star delivers the following lyrics: "I heard you’re back together and if that’s true / You’ll just have to taste me when he’s kissin’ you / If you want forever, I bet you do / Just know you’ll taste me too."

In a different verse, she vocalized, “Palm Springs looks nice, but who’s by your side / D-----, she looks kinda like / The girl you outgrew / At least that’s what you said / What a coincidence / Oh, wow, you just broke up again / What a coincidence."
