ABC/Image Group LAAlessia Cara and Shawn Mendes: both Canadian. Both discovered online as teens. And now, both on tour together.
Alessia has been announced as the special guest for the U.S., U.K. and Europe dates of Shawn’s upcoming world tour, which kicks off March 7 in Europe and runs through the fall. Ironically, Alessia isn’t appearing on Shawn’s Canadian tour dates.
Announcing the tour on Twitter, Alessia wrote, “Come hang with a bunch of Canadians. we’re nice.”
Shawn then dug up and retweeted a tweet he sent six years ago, in which he raved over Alessia’s breakout YouTube cover of The Neighbourhood‘s “Sweater Weather.” He captioned it, “Alessia Cara Stan since 2013.”
Alessia then replied, “A fan before I had fans I’m emotional.”
Shawn’s also added 16 shows to the North American leg of the tour, including second concerts in Chicago, L.A., Boston, Montreal and Brooklyn, New York.
Pre-sales for the new tour dates start February 23 and continue through March 1. The public on-sale date is March 2 at 10 a.m. local time. Visit ShawnAccess.com to find out how to register for the pre-sales.
