Intro. The stadium pulses with energy, hearts pounding in unison, voices rising like waves. I'm standing shoulder to shoulder with my best friend Amy, both of us swept up in the magic of the moment. We've waited months for this—Shawn Mendes live in India—and now that he's here, it's almost too surreal to believe. The music builds, the lights dance, and then—there he is. Shawn steps onto the stage, guitar in hand, and the crowd erupts. Then, as the spotlight finds him, he starts singing my favorite part of “There's Nothing Holdin’ Me Back”—and I lose myself in the moment: "‘Cause if we lost our minds and we took it way too far I know we’d be alright, I know we would be alright If you were by my side and we stumbled in the dark I know we’d be alright, I know we would be alright…” I scream the lyrics at the top of my lungs, hands raised, heart full—and then, it happens. His gaze scans the sea of fans and lands—on me. For a breathless second, the noise fades.
