Camila Cabello and Shawn Mendes Heat Up the VMAs With Flirty 'Senorita' Performance

The pair brought the heat to the VMAs on Monday.

Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello brought the heat to the 2019 MTV Video Music Awards on Monday.

The singers performed their collaborative hit, "Senorita," to cheering fans inside Newark, New Jersey's Prudential Center where the awards ceremony took place. The song received multiple nominations including Best Art Direction, Best Choreography and Best Collaboration.

And, the power of that collaboration was on full display as the pair made a dreamy entrance onstage, walking toward each other on a stage lit with pretty lights.  As Mendes strummed his guitar while launching into his verse, Cabello twirled around in white before making her way over to the Canadian hunk to stroke his muscly arm.

While the two teased fans with near-kisses throughout the steamy performance, they didn't lock lips, instead holding hands, dancing and ending the song by adorably nudging their noses together.

Earlier in the ceremony, Mendes also took the stage solo to perform his catchy hit, "If I Can't Have You," after Bebe Rexha introduced him as "one of the biggest performers on the planet."

As he launched into the track, anticipation rocketed for Cabello to make her entrance for "Senorita," but fans had to wait until later in the ceremony for the showstopping performance.

The two arrived separately on the red carpet, with Cabello, 22, wearing a flowing, white dress, while Mendes,21, wore a forest green Dolce & Gabbana suit.

The pair's steamy performance comes after what seems to have been a summer of love for the two artists, who have earned themselves a cute nickname, “Shawmila.”

It all started when they released their steamy music video for "Senorita," before enjoying a fun the Fourth of July weekend together in Los Angeles.

The young stars were then photographed going on a coffee date and making out in San Francisco; soaking up the sun while getting cozy in the water at Miami Beach; and holding hands in New York City on Mendes’ 21st birthday. Last Monday, they were also snapped making out during a romantic evening in Montreal, Canada.

A source told ET in early August that the two have truly fallen for one another and Cabello has been traveling with Mendes on tour as they remain "committed to working on a relationship.”

"Shawn and Camila originally were just enjoying spending time together and having a summer fling," the source said. "Camila had just gotten out of a relationship and Shawn was in the middle of a massive tour. However, Shawn and Camila have really fallen for one another.”
