Shawn Mendes Makes Surprise Appearance at Niall Horan Concert for ‘Treat You Better’ Duet: ‘That’s My Boy!’

Niall Horan and Shawn Mendes sure know how to put on a show.

While performing his The Show: Live on Tour concert in London, Horan welcomed his Mendes onstage as a surprise guest, and the two played an acoustic version of Mendes’ 2016 song “Treat You Better.”

IN videos made by fans and shared on social networks, Horan (30) and Mendes, whom he jokingly called his own “little big brother”, hugged each other before each sitting on a stool with a guitar to play the 2016 hit at OVO Arena Wembley.

“By the way, I was just thinking, what a waste of time to go to the gym,” Horan quipped to the crowd, referring to Mendes’ impressive physique.

“If you’re going to wear a tank top, I’m going to wear a tank top,” Mendes, 25, replied.

Horan then said, “Let’s do it bro,” before playing the song, later proudly saying, “That’s my boy!” after Mendes left the stage, according to fan video.

The performance came just hours after Mendes was photographed in Paris at the Loewe Fall/Winter 2024 show at Paris Fashion Week.

It was also only the second show for the star since canceling his Wonder World Tour in July 2022 to address his mental health.

The “Stitches” singer was previously a surprise guest during Ed Sheeran’s show in Toronto in June, where the two sang “Lego House” and “There’s Nothin’ Holding Me Back.”

In last year’s interview with WSJ. MagazineMendes said the cancellation of the tour was somewhat inspired by the time he spent in therapy trying to unpack everything he was dealing with.

“The process was very difficult. I worked a lot in therapy, I tried a lot to understand how I feel and why I feel that way. And then I worked to help myself and heal myself,” he told the newspaper. “And I also rely on the people in my life to help me out a little bit.”

In January, Mendes took to Instagram to share videos of himself playing the piano in the studio and explained his frustrations with waiting for “inspiration to strike.”

“I finally remember how important it is to be willing to just show up,” he wrote. “How showing up and trying even with nothing is like sending a message to the heavens ‘I’m here, I’m willing and open’ and usually then my hands find a special little chord or my voice a melody I like.”

Meanwhile, Horan is currently in the middle of a long run of dates in support of his third album Showwhich he published in June.

After kicking off on February 20th in Northern Ireland, Horan will embark on a cross-country tour in May and will play throughout the summer before wrapping up in London in September.

In addition to Mendes, he welcomed Dermot Kennedy to the stage as a special guest at his show in Dublin on February 23rd.
