Shawn Mendes took the stage at the 2016 Billboard Music Awards to perform "Stitches," the track the catapulted him to mainstream success following its debut back in 2015.

Rather than perform the more radio-friendly, upbeat version of the song, Mendes opted for a slower rendition. Switching from acoustic guitar to piano mid-track, Mendes' vocal skills and musical talent were on full display, as he emoted in front of a rainy living room backdrop.
