(Pop stars get nervous too!)
Its so beautiful and absolutely terrifying, Mendes says.
I put my heart into this music, so its always scary to see what people think.
But ultimately, Im just happy to be back out here seeing faces and singing songs.
I was really feeling Johnny Cash this year, for some reason, says Mendes.
The new, pared-back vibe suited his raw and acoustic sound.
Completely live and raw.
