Earlier this month, Shawn and Camila celebrated a big milestone together!

John Mayer has so many nice things to say about Shawn Mendes!

In a recent interview, the 43-year-old musician gushed over the 22-year-old and their friendship.

“There are times he comes in and there’s only a finite number of studios in LA, because studios are kind of dwindling in terms of their need for most artists. So we, I mean, every time I see him, I just, it’s just a gift when the universe pairs us up for a day,” John told Andy Cohen on SiriusXM’s Andy Cohen Live.

“I just will do anything for that kid. I love him. He’s, he’s so pure. He’s so pure,” he continued. “He’s an artist without the trauma. And most artists are born from some kind of catalytic thing that trauma is a part of. And I look at him, I’m like, you’re me without getting shaken up like a soda can you know.”

John even added that they text often and go to each other for advice. Shawn even convinced him to do something!

“We text a lot. He has such great tastes and opinions on things that it really is both of us looking up to each other. It’s not this sort of, you know, Obi-Wan-Luke thing,” he shared. “I mean, I’ll send him stuff of mine and he’ll give me really good perspective on it. I mean, I just talked to him about my album cover, you know? And I go, ‘I don’t know whether I should put myself on the album cover,’ you know, like sometimes I don’t want to put my picture on the album cover and he goes, ‘the world wants a record with you on the album cover.’ And I went ‘you’re right.’ And he convinced me to put, the next record I do, I’m going to be on the album cover.”

If you missed it, Shawn just made a big change to his quarantine hair!

It has been a decade since Taylor Swift and John Mayer dated and it definitely has been long enough for them to move on from what happened back then.

Now, John is praising Taylor‘s current single “Lover” and he even reworked the lyrics for his own fun version of the song during an Instagram Live with Shawn Mendes (who is featured on the new remix).

“Love the song,” John said. “I really like the song. I get a little chuckle because she says, ‘We can keep the Christmas lights up ‘til January.’ And I go, ‘You’re insane. Everyone keeps their Christmas lights up until January.’”

After discussing the remix version with Shawn, John broke into his own version of the tune.

“We can keep the Christmas lights up ‘til January,” he sang. “And then about January 5th, we’ll take the lights down. And then we’ll put ‘em in a box and we’ll label that box Christmas lights. Yeah, we’ll put ‘em in the attic until next December.”

For those unaware, Taylor and John dated back in 2009 and he was the inspiration for her song “Dear John.”

Shawn Mendes playfully called out John Mayer for being an “old man!”

After the “Gravity” singer posted a throwback pic of himself on Instagram, the “There’s Nothing Holdin’ Me Back” crooner wasted no time in commenting.

“#Tbt 1998,” John captioned the photo of himself posing with a guitar. “In it for life.”

“Year i was born old man @johnmayer,” Shawn remarked.

LOL.

The next day, John shared a black-and-white photo of Shawn sitting at a piano along with the caption, ‘🎹@shawnmendes 📷 ya boy.”

The two are good friends and big fans of each other in real life. Shawn even once referred to John as a “music god.”

Shawn also covered a few of John‘s songs before they teamed up on an epic mash-up performance.

Shawn Mendes pals up with John Mayer for a new pic after his concert in Los Angeles on Thursday night (October 5).

The “Mercy” singer has been a big fan of John‘s for mostly all his life and once spoke with Seventeen mag about being a big fan of his.

“My friends and I think John Mayer is this music god who we’ve grown up learning from,” he shared last year.

Since then, Shawn and John have become good friends, with Shawn covering a few of his songs before they teamed up on a music-mashup that’s out of this world.

Justin Bieber sent many fans in North America and Asia reeling yesterday when he cancelled the remainder of his Purpose World Tour.

In light of upset fans who will not be able to see their idol perform, singer John Mayer took to Twitter to defend the pop star.

“When someone pulls remaining dates of a tour, it means they would have done real damage to themselves if they kept going,” John tweeted yesterday (July 24.) “We’ve lost so many great artists lately. I give Justin [thumbs up] for realizing it was time to call it. You should too.”

He’s totally right: Justin‘s longtime manager Scooter Braun said that his “soul” and “well-being” had to come first and we all must respect that.
