While focusing on her coach duties on The Voice, Camila Cabello was in for a surprise when a familiar song was performed.During a round of blind auditions on Tuesday, September 27, contestant Tanner Howe delivered a rendition of Shawn Mendes‘ hit track “Mercy.” Cabello, 25, for her part, immediately recognized the song, telling her fellow coaches, “Is that my… Is that Shawn up there?

I was like, is Shawn onstage?”The Cuba native ultimately didn’t turn her chair for Howe, saying, “I know [Shawn] better than everyone in this room.

The reason I didn’t turn around is that maybe you sounded a little too much like him?”Howe, however, received support from Blake Shelton, Gwen Stefani and John Legend.

After Cabello suggested that the performer “distinguish” himself from Mendes, 24, Howe admitted he was hoping to be “in [Shawn’s] lane” when it comes to his career.In response, the “Havana” singer quipped, “I was in his lane … deeply.” Meanwhile, Legend, 43, jokingly questioned if Cabello was “trying to make it as awkward as possible” for everyone.The former couple originally went public with their relationship in 2019 after five years of friendship.
