Shawn Mendes ventured into the snow shirtless over the weekend and absolutely no one is complaining. The 25-year-old set out to have a little fun as we went sledding and played around in a snow covered yard in only shorts.

“This is cold, bro,” Mendes can be heard saying as he lays down, half-naked in the snow. In a second video, he hops into a sled and takes off down a small hill with a push from a friend. “You can take the boy outta Canada,” Mendes captioned the various clips from his shirtless adventure.
Clearly no stranger to cold weather, the Canadian-born singer-songwriter is also a pro at warming up as he cuddled up next to the fire with his guitar following the freezing frolic.
Mendes appears to be in good spirits heading into the new year as he shared in an earlier post that he is in a good space with his mental health. He detailed some of the practices he’s used to get there — one being a new approach to making music.
“Over the last year i spent a lot of time singing like this,” Mendes wrote next to a video that features him playing his harmonium. “I found that in moments of extreme anxiety or fear if i sat down with my harmonium and allowed myself with full trust to sing whatever came out it would often ease the pain.”
He continued, “It felt so difficult at first to let myself sing without needing perfection but after a while i actually started to fall in love with the dance between the ‘right’ and the ‘wrong’ notes… I realized there were only moments of bliss and euphoria from the ‘right’ notes BECAUSE of the ‘wrong’ notes. The only reason I can sing in key is because I’ve learned to listen.”
