Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello are reportedly dating, and performed their summer single "Señorita" together at MTV's 2019 Video Music Awards on Monday night at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey.
As an audience camera feed online revealed, many stars were standing up with their jaws open or chanting "make out!" during the tease-filled performance. But when Mendes and Cabello failed to actually lock lips, the group of celebrities lost it.
First, you can watch the full performance by Mendes and Cabello below.
But the more entertaining video comes from the MTV VMAs Twitter account, where they were livestreaming a view of the celebrity-packed audience who was watching the show.
Taylor Swift, Todrick Hall, Dexter Mayfield, Bebe Rexha, Sophie Turner, and Nick and Joe Jonas were among the stars captured on the video feed. They all had their mouths open, looking impressed by the performance happening on stage.
Sophie Turner, who was on her feet between Nick and Joe Jonas, was holding their hands and yelling "make out!" towards Mendes and Cabello. The two Jonas brothers looked equally amped by the idea of some PDA.
But just when it looked like the reported couple were going to kiss, they moved apart once again and ended the song.
The stars were aghast, and threw up their hands in disbelief.
Multiple people had their hands up in a "what the heck?" gesture.
Swift, Hall, and Mayfield were all stunned, and exchanged looks of disbelief before taking their seats once again.
Though the live feed on the VMAs Twitter account has since updated, removing the video, a Shawn Mendes fan account recorded the video and uploaded it in a now-popular tweet.
