A Twitter User Compared Pictures Of Shawn Mendes To Goats And I Have Questions

No, not "the G.O.A.T." like you may be thinking--actual goats.

Last Sunday, February 4, a twitter user by the name of Ana (@itsmendesart) posted a thread in which she compared photographs of Canadian singer/songwriter Shawn Mendes to pictures of goats from around the internet and honestly, I'm both intrigued and confused.

The thread garnered so much attention in such a short amount of time that by Tuesday, February 6, it became a Twitter Moment, gaining even more popularity.

Now let's make one thing perfectly clear: I am a big Shawn Mendes fan, so as I did my nightly perusing of Twitter on Tuesday, the thread immediately caught my attention. I was puzzled but strangely interested (which can be said for most viral posts on the internet, if we're being honest) and my curiosity got the best of me. I decided to take a look and was not disappointed.

Most of the photos chosen by Ana were dated pictures of the now 19-year-old artist, but that didn't make their impact any less significant.

Truly remarkable.

Shawn Mendes takes pictures with his tongue out. Goats take pictures with their tongues out. Practically twins.

The resemblance is uncanny.

Both Shawn Mendes and this goat make me so *heart eyes*

What do Canadian musicians and goats have in common? A desire for straight teeth.

Spot the difference (you can't).

Even bars can't contain these two killer smiles.

Incredible.

Am I still confused as to why someone decided to compare old pictures of Shawn Mendes to goats? Yes. Do I still have questions? Absolutely. Am I still glad I decided to embark on the ~journey~ of this thread? Totally.

In conclusion, young Shawn Mendes looks like a goat and I'm not complaining about it.
