Harry Styles can't pronounce Shawn Mendes' name

Twitter can't handle it. - by Bianca Mastroianni
  • 19 Nov 2019

Harry Styles didn't just shade Zayn Malik during his recent Saturday Night Live appearance... but Shawn Mendes too!

WATCH: Harry Styles mispronounces Shawn Mendes on SNL

While the "Lights Up" singer pretended to forget the former One Direction band member's name, we don't think his mispronunciation of Shawn Mendes' was intentional, which has Twitter in stitches.

Harry was also keen on Nick Jonas during the sketch.

In one hilarious sketch on the show, Harry plays a social media manager at a food company who has the hots for many male celebrities, including Nick Jonas and Shawn.

Not the best with technology, he accidentally uses the food company's Instagram as his own, posting thirsty comments on their photos.

Unfortunately, he sent a suggestive photo to Shawn Mendeez, not Shawn Mendes.

Others believed it was an honour for Harry to mispronounce the name, suggesting Shawn change it asap.

Is this genuinely how Harry thinks Shawn's name is pronounced, or was he being a little sassy? We're going to go with a little bit of both.

Shawn has yet to respond.
