Camila Cabello Gushes Over Shawn Mendes In Sweet Note: ‘You’ve Been In My Life For 5 Years…’

Camila Cabello was looking for some real friends, and she found one in Shawn Mendes.

Shortly after releasing their new song “Señorita” on Friday, the “Consequences” singer, 22, took to Instagram to gush about her music partner and it’s the cutest thing seriously ever.

“You’ve been in my life for 5 years now and it’s a hell of a ride growing up together,” she captioned a series of photos with the “Lost In Japan” heartthrob. “Thank you for always being there and having my back.”

“Everybody on here that loves you would only love you more if they really knew you,” Camila wrote.

The Fifth Harmony alum’s sweet message came just hours before Shawn posted an emotional Instagram about his journey and encouraged his followers to always follow their heart.

“I’m thinking about being in 9th grade right now. The day after I posted one of my first covers on YouTube back in 2014,” he reminisced in the caption. “At school walking down the hall straight into a group of older guys yelling out ‘sing for me Shawn sing for me’ in a way that made me feel absolutely horrible…made me feel like a joke, like what I was doing was stupid and wrong.”

I’m thinking about being in 9th grade right now. The day after I posted one of my first covers onto YouTube back in 2014.. at school walking down the hall straight into a group of older guys yelling out “sing for me Shawn sing for me!” In a way that made me feel absolutely horrible… made me feel like a joke, like what I was doing was just stupid & wrong. I was lucky though, I had the best friends & the best parents anyone could ask for… no matter what they would never let me stop doing what I LOVED to do just because someone ELSE thought it was stupid. It’s not joke to me. To make someone feel bad about doing what they love… every single person deserves to do what makes them feel alive. I’m writing this not only to the 15 year old kid who’s scared to follow their heart because of what people might say but also to the 50 year old who may be doing the exact same thing. I know it’s not just that easy & I’m not asking you to change your world over night, BUT I want you to know that no matter how old you are, no matter who you are, no matter where you’re from… you deserve to follow your heart Im here & i’m rooting for you

We wouldn’t mind if these two made this a regular thing, tbh.
