'His music's so good': Adoring Shawn Mendes fans pour into Rogers Centre
It’s inspiring to see a guy from the GTA make it so big, excited fans say
Jaylene Villarreal is only 17 years old, but the San Antonio teenager says she has already seen Shawn Mendes live in concert six times.
Villarreal spent two full days putting together her outfit for her seventh show, which was held Friday night at Toronto's Rogers Centre.
"His music's so good, it's so amazing and he does every part of the process from writing to producing and it's so incredible," Villarreal told CBC Toronto.
Villarreal's jacket was painted with what she said is one of Mendes's tattoos. The background includes the visuals from his song Why, flowers representing his Meet and Greet as well as the Toronto skyline.
Villarreal and her friend Gabrielle Sanchez, 15, from Lewiston, New York, were among thousands who lined up for the sold-out show.
The two met on Twitter because they are both Shawn Mendes fans.
Mendes, 21, a native of Pickering, Ont., is currently riding high with his inescapable single Senorita
