Shawn Mendes said that he is “figuring out” his sexuality during his concert in Denver on Monday, according to video footage shared by fans on social media. “I think it’s kind of silly because I think sexuality is such a beautifully complex thing and its so hard to just put into boxes,” he said during his show, which took place at Red Rocks Amphitheatre. Mendes made the remarks before performing his unreleased song “The Mountain,” which features lyrics referencing the speculation over his sexuality. Many fans online said they feel that the public is not entitled to know about the private lives of celebrities. During Monday’s show, Mendes said that it feels scary to open up about his journey because of how people talk about others’ sexuality.

In June, Bank of America reported that its Gen Z customers spent more at premium grocery stores than any other generation. The trend picked up steam with Gen Z. Millennials and Gen Zers are driving demand for vegetarian and vegan food. In a recent YouGov survey for Whole Foods, 70% of Gen Z respondents indicated they were willing to pay more for high-quality foods.

Martin acoustic guitars are some of the most popular and well-known high-end acoustic guitars in the world. They're owned and played by pop stars like Ed Sheeran and Shawn Mendes. In the past, Elvis Presley, John Lennon, Kurt Cobain, and Bob Dylan all have used Martin guitars. Martin is one of the oldest guitar brands still active, having opened in 1833 in downtown Manhattan, New York. Today, the company is based in Nazareth, Pennsylvania, and is still owned by the descendants of its founder, Christian Frederick Martin.

"He would know people's weaknesses and what they wanted and somehow always have something to offer," a former close friend said. Another close friend said Mickum once gave her a $1,000 loan "within minutes" when she needed it because of a credit-card crisis. He never "let the truth get in the way of a good story," a former close friend said. Hermès bags, like the Birkin and the Kelly, have always been symbols of unattainable luxury. There wasn't even a dust bag; Mickum claimed his mom's assistant would drop it off later.

On Thursday, Musk tweeted that he's personally funding some celebrities' Twitter Blue statuses — but did not specifically say whose subscriptions he's paying for. It's unclear who's paying for the Twitter Blue subscriptions on Hybe's and BTS' official accounts. Other K-Pop groups have also refused to give Musk $8 for Twitter Blue.

IN JANUARY, pop star Shawn Mendes shocked fans when he buzzed off his chocolatey mane. Some members of the Mendes Army even tweeted that they were “grieving” at having to bid farewell to the heartthrob’s dreamy waves. When The Wall Street Journal asked the 24-year-old to share his rationale behind the bare new look, he did not mention any particular image agenda. The stripped-back style suggests an emotional rawness, said Mike Martinez, creative director of Cutler Salon, which has branches in New York and Los Angeles. “When the sun finally comes out and we leave that winter hibernation, the buzzcut is there for those people looking for a new, cleaner look,” he said.

Elon Musk polled his Twitter followers over whether he should bring back defunct video platform Vine. Vine was owned by Twitter but shut down in 2016 after many of its biggest stars left the platform. Musk completed his deal to buy Twitter Friday, and is already looking to make sweeping changes. Twitter discontinued Vine in 2016, keeping an archive service until it fully shut down three years later. Musical.ly then became the most popular short-form video app, with an emphasis on lip-syncing videos, before being bought by ByteDance, the parent of TikTok, in 2017.
