Shawn Mendes threw his head back in laughter, clearly amused by the unexpected greeting. The audience erupted in giggles as the 27-year-old singer processed what just happened. The fan then pivoted to asking about hair care advice, which made the whole thing even funnier.

Taking it all in stride, Mendes responded with a grin, saying, “You have great hair. I don’t know why you’re asking me.” But here’s where it gets even better. Before moving on to the next question, the singer made sure to acknowledge the playful comment. “I love that you called me daddy,” he admitted, which naturally sent the crowd into another round of laughter.
