On Thursday night, Shawn Mendes was held back — if only momentarily — from performing for fans by his shirt, resulting in 20 seconds of awkward hilarity.
The incident unfolded during a brief performance from Mendes to kick off the NFL's 2018/19 season opener between reigning champs the Philadelphia Eagles and the Atlanta Falcons.
Mendes appeared on stage outside Lincoln Financial Field in Philly to a crowd of adoring fans. But in a rush to begin his performance, the pop star attempted to take his shirt off rather quickly, and found himself stuck in what became a 15 second scuffle with his own outfit. The moment looked funny, but was really hilarious in part because of its extreme relatable-ness.
Everyone of us — except maybe Beyoncé, who does everything perfectly — has at some point been through an unreasonably tough struggle to take off a shirt, pair of pants, or a jacket.
Mendes later laughed it over with fans on Twitter, mentioning that the shirt was "impossible to take off." Nonetheless, the singer thanked the Philly fans for an unreal night.
