Cameron Dallas and Shawn Mendes have a whole lot of history. These ii might exist huge stars now, with Shawn taking the music world past tempest and Cameron modeling for prestigious brands along with acting and working on his own tunes, just once upon a fourth dimension life was much unlike for them. Information technology'south kind of hard to actually call back the time that Cam and Shawn actually used to spend tons of time together when they were on MagCon, touring all over the country meeting their fans. (OK, who are we kidding nosotros call back information technology all too well if we're existence honest here.) 2013 was a much simpler era and now, everyone is left wondering if these two are actually notwithstanding shut. So we're breaking information technology all down and digging into a timeline of their friendship. Shall we?

How did Cameron and Shawn meet?

We can give thanks the powers of MagCon and the human being behind it all Bart Bordelon for bringing these two together since Shawn had amassed a huge following on Vine, as did Cameron, along with his massive Instagram and YouTube accounts. And so they were recruited for this tour and equally you already know, they were role of the OG MagCon lineup and were proficient buds. Think when they walked through an entertainment park property hands?

And when Shawn gave us all the iconic song that is "Cameron Dallas Is My Fellow."

But Shawn ended upwards getting a record deal and MagCon seemingly divide, with the first line-up all going their separate ways.

Did Cameron and Shawn get into a fight?

It doesn't seem like Shawn had any sort of falling out with the web stars he used to call BFFs earlier he became a music superstar, and there was a time in 2014 when he even dedicated Cam and Nash Grier when he appeared on a morning show they were on and the host fabricated it articulate she didn't think they had whatever talent as compared to Shawn.

"They're very funny though, I can't put them down. They're hilarious boys, I know them, they're very funny and witty and creative. But I started posting covers and stuff so it'due south a different spectrum," Shawn said in the guys' defense. What a guy he is.

Simply then came that time in 2015 when Cam threw some shade Shawn'southward way. It all went downward on Instagram after the singer posted a pic of Taylor Swift bringing him out on stage to have the audience sing "Happy Altogether" to him since he was ane of her opening acts on her 1989 Tour. And tbh, this might but be the best gift of all fourth dimension.

"Coolest birthday always. Taylor brought me up on stage and had a crowd of 60 g people sing happy birthday to me. So lucky to exist on bout with someone and then incredibly kind. You stone Taylor. Thank y'all and so much! ❤️," Shawn wrote in the explanation.

Fans snagged screenshots of Cameron commenting on the pic saying his friend should "recall the people" who helped him go to where he is.

Yikes. Perhaps Cameron was bummed he wasn't in Shawn'southward "Life of the Party" music video, since Nash, Aaron Carpenter, and Jack and Jack all had a cameo in it and he didn't.

But not too long after this, Cam took to Twitter to let everyone know he had reunited with some of his MagCon buddies, including Shawn, and all was well between them.

So whatever rough patch they may have had came and went pretty quickly.

Are Cameron and Shawn still friends?

Information technology'due south clear the guys don't hang out a ton like they used to, simply in that location is however plenty of love and respect for each other. When Shawn'southward sophomore anthology Illuminate came out in 2016, Cameron let everyone know just how impressed he was with the music.

And so in early 2017, Shawn took to Twitter to publicly congratulate Cam on his Netflix serial, Chasing Cameron.

The fact that Shawn brought up how he'll never forget where he started is merely precious and Cameron was clearly over the moon excited to have his bud's approval.

Are Cameron and Shawn still a part of MagCon?

Shawn is no longer part of MagCon, since he'due south decorated touring the globe and making music simply after taking a break from it all, Cameron is even so a main member and ringleader backside the newer tours. But as the "Mercy" singer has made clear time and fourth dimension once more, he doesn't ever forget his roots.

"Oh dude, I was so lucky. That doesn't happen. Artists don't come across having a fan base before releasing a vocal. I had firsthand support from the starting time single I released… And that confidence heave off the top gets y'all kick-started like nothing else," Shawn said in an interview about his early ascent to fame on social media before he ever released any music.

And so while Shawn and Cameron have a scrap of a complicated human relationship, we know they'll ever take each other's backs. They might not really exist related, despite looking alike, but they for certain are brothers forever. And at least we have all the old pics and videos to look back on from their glory days together, right?
