By Syndicated Content Dec 11, 2020 2:25 PM Shawn Mendes was apologetic after he unintentionally misgendered Sam Smith while introducing the U.K. star during last night's Jingle Ball event. Sam takes "they/them" pronouns, but Shawn mistakenly introduced the "Diamonds" singer as "he" at the star-studded concert, which streamed on The CW App and CWTV.com. However, Sam wasn't too upset about it. On their Instagram stories, Sam reposted Shawn's apology, in which the Canadian singer wrote, "Oh @samsmith I'm so sorry for referring to you as a 'he' for your jingle ball introduction. It absolutely slipped my mind. Won't happen again...Sending you so much love! Also you absolutely are one of the funniest people I've ever met!"
