Netizens think Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello kiss was a PR stunt
After the video of Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello kissing at Coachella went viral, Twitterati had mixed reactions. Several users were shocked by the move since the duo appeared friendly and platonic during the first half of the show.
Others celebrated their reunion, while some suggested the public kissing to be nothing but a PR stunt.
Brief recap of Shawn and Camila's relationship
Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello were friends for many years before they began dating in July 2019.
Throughout the summer, they were seen engaging in PDA, and in August of that year, they made their first big public appearance as a couple at the MTV Video Music Awards, where they gave a duet performance of Senorita.
During the Covid-19 pandemic, Shawn and Camila quarantined together in Miami. During an interview with Audacy Check In in August 2021, Mendes said:
"Camila and I were so lucky because we were able to just kind of be in a still moment, and it was the first time in the past six years that we've been just able to relax and not work at all. We were going on bike rides around Miami, and it just felt really beautiful."
The duo appeared at several red carpet events together and became one of the most loved couples in the music industry. However, in November 2021, the duo announced their breakup via a joint statement on Instagram.
As of writing, neither Shawn nor Camila has addressed their viral kissing video on social media.
