I didn&#8217;t talk to anybody. You were the only person that talked to me. Like, you were the only one of everybody on that tour who would say words to me. Actually, I think if we go into our DMs or something, there&#8217;s a photo from the day we met, I think.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>At the time, Mendes thought Cabello was &#8220;insane.&#8221; &#8220;I&#8217;d be looking through the window and I&#8217;d see you like, flying around on a scooter and jumping and doing cartwheels. I&#8217;d be like, she&#8217;s insane. Close the window and go to sleep.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>April 2015<\/h2>\n<p>Shawn Mendes was asked to play \u201cLips, Wife or Leave It&#8221; on <em>Capital FM, <\/em>choosing between Camila Cabello, Jade Thirlwall\u00a0and\u00a0Chlo\u00eb Grace Moretz.
