American Express UNSTAGED returns December 6, 2020 with Grammy Award-nominated singer-songwriter Shawn Mendes. The livestream benefit concert, “Wonder: The Experience” will happen just two days after Mendes’ album Wonder debuts. It’s the last American Express UNSTAGED event for the 2020 series, which has energized hundreds of thousands of fans and Card Members in more than 29 countries, and, and follows Dua Lipa’s live performance in November, Sam Smith’s session in October, and Alicia Keys’ concert in September. Mendes’ livestream is free for attendees, though fans can consider donating to the Shawn Mendes Foundation, the artist’s social impact program. The initiative seeks to empower young people around the world to stand up and inspire change, most recently partnering with Global Citizen Year to launch a leadership program for high school graduates.
