Island's Shawn Mendes is congratulated by label boss David Massey backstage at the AMAs (during which he performed a medley of two singles from his album), shortly before it was announced that the young troubadour would be Saturday Night Live's musical guest on 12/3. Later, in honor of the impending holiday, Mendes composed a heartbreaking ballad about turducken.
