Shawn Mendes flew 3,300 miles from Toronto to Blackpool, England to be with Camila Cabello as she celebrated her birthday with her cast mates from the live-action remake of Cinderella she is currently filming.
Ah, the romance of being a celebrity. Private jets, romantic beach villas... Blackpool Tower. Shawn Mendes is proving that love isn't dead with girlfriend Camila Cabello, after he flew 3,300 miles last night to be with her to celebrate her 23rd birthday in the English seaside town of Blackpool.

While to most British people, Blackpool is by no means the most glamorous of places (in fact, quite the opposite... ask around, you'll see), Camila is currently working on the live-action remake of Cinderella there, which means she got to spend her birthday surrounded by seagulls and the notorious Big Dipper rollercoaster. Magical.
Ok, it was a little more lavish than we're making it sound, because Shawn not only brought the gift (himself), but threw her a surprise party at the top of the iconic Blackpool Tower landmark with her fellow castmates.
Naturally, it was Cinderella themed to match her upcoming role, and Instagram Stories throughout the night made it look like an absolute hoot. Bravo, Shawn, you're taking your boyfriend duties seriously.
She also had a giant glass ice sculpture, and iconic birthday cake in the shape of Cinderella's carriage, which read: 'If you keep on believing, the dream that you wish will come true. Happy birthday Camila'.
The 'My Oh My' singer's fellow Cinderella castmates, including Irish actor, Fra Free and ugly-step-sister-to-be, Maddie Baillio, also shared wild antics from the night, including a crazy version of 'Happy Birthday' in which the entire room was jumping up and down.
Despite the epic festivities from the night, Camila herself used her birthday for something a little more meaningful, penning an Instagram post encouraging people to donate to Save The Children.
"ITS MY BIRTHDAY!!! guys thank u for all of the birthday love, I absolutely love you guys and am so thankful for you for my birthday I wanna bring attention to one of the worst humanitarian crises happening in the world right now, in Syria. 950,000 people have been forced to flee their homes because of the violence in Idlib – some with only the clothes on their backs.
"Most of them are children. Now, they're living in displacement camps in freezing cold temperatures. families shouldn't have to choose between dying from bombs or freezing cold temperatures," she wrote in a lengthy post.
"Save the Children is working to provide displaced families with food, blankets and warmth. They are trying to keep kids families safe, but they need our help. so for my birthday, it would mean the world to me if you would consider supporting Save the Children's response to this humanitarian crisis," she continued. "Go to savethechildren.org to help Save the Children reach children in need. I love u."
We love a charitable queen. Actually, the party looked pretty good too. Can we take both?
