Yeah can we ask why he and Teddy are not working together? I am genuinely curious if he could see himself moving away from his guitar pop sound and trying something new

I feel as though Shawn puts out the music that everyone else wants him to put out and ultimately, he doesn't have a strong point of view as an artist.

I'd love him to go off and do a Miley's Dead Petz - he needs to let loose and find himself.

I think Shawn’s career is basically in the same place as Khalid and the non-Harry One Direction boys where there’s enough banked goodwill and casual interest that could be recaptured with a bop and a slick PR campaign because, let’s be honest, that’s exactly how Harry leapfrogged all of them into being an A-list Popstar.

There is a new Tommy x Shawn collection that just came out, thus he's visiting the HQ.

I'll try ask him the Teddy question.

I did see the photoshoot after I posted and thought it must be to do with that!

I would just be quite interested to know if he is working on more music if it’s along the lines of When You’re Gone or if that’s not where he’s at any more.

Not sure what the state of Shawn's career is at this point - he cancelled his tour citing mental health reasons, right? He seems to still be booked to do things like the Tommy campaign but as a popstar it's weird to think where he slots in. I always felt like he was at odds with his team on the music he released - I feel like he has so much to offer but his team are stifling his creativity.

I don't know why, but I've always had a soft spot for Shawn. He doesn't seem to bother anyone and handled the gross obsession over if he was gay or not as best as he could. At least he didn't double down and suddenly make MAYBE being queer his entire personality like someone else did...but I digress.

I wish him well!

He really is a likeable person and had some nice answers to the even the most basic questions during the Q&A. Unfortunately, all the questions needed to be pre-submitted so didn't manage to ask him anything. He's also very tall and cute. Had my pic taken with him, I can share here when I receive it from work's photographer.

It was surprising to see a lot of fans waiting outside too, since this event was not advertised.

He seems really likeable and is earning good money. He doesn’t seem to be interested in being a big pop star though.

As long as he’s happy good for him. He’s a beautiful man so I’m happy for his photos to take up social media space on my timeline.

I don’t know, constant sonic shifts, throwing anything at the wall to see if it sticks, and collabs with someone who used to pretend to not know who he is all sound like desperate for success to me.

He did cancel a huge tour though. And the above sounds like record company politics.
