Canadian pop star Shawn Mendes partnered with Tim Hortons to launch a new, heartwarming campaign titled 'Home is Where the Heart is' in anticipation of the artist's first sold-out stadium show in Toronto.
The Home is Where the Heart is campaign celebrates the singer's Canadian roots, having grown up enjoying the coffee in his hometown of Pickering, Ontario. The video shows Shawn Mendes' journey -- from playing in subway stations to playing on a giant stage and the commercial goes full circle, transitioning from a childhood version of Shawn Mendes ordering at Tim Hortons to the singer standing behind another boy ordering a beverage.
The heartwarming campaign will also include limited edition Tim Hortons cups featuring Shawn Mendes with roses from his current album and a Canadian maple leaf that fans can receive by purchasing any hot beverage.
