Demi Lovato Is Getting a Talk Show on Quibi


Everything is coming up Demi Lovato this year. The singer and actor, fresh off her triumphant moment at the Grammy Awards and her rousing rendition of the National Anthem at the Super Bowl, is about to hit your screen with her very own TV show.

No, Lovato is not returning to her Disney days for a second part of Sonny with a Chance, but rather starring in a talk show on mobile video platform Quibi, according to Variety. Quibi features short-form, “snackable” content and has been partnering with everyone from Joe Jonas to Lena Waithe to Keke Palmer. Variety reports that the show is called Pillow Talk with Demi, though it seems the title may be changing. Lovato, who has always been outspoken about the things she’s passionate about, will reportedly chat about everything from sexuality to wellness in the short episodes, and consult both celebrity and expert guests. The show is meant to be an empowering, honest place for conversation and openness. (Consider this our official wish for a guest spot from Selena Gomez.)

“I’ve always considered myself someone that speaks honestly about issues that face my generation,” Lovato said in a statement per Variety. “We’re excited to bring those frank conversations to a public forum, where people can have the opportunity to relate to the topics and guests, while finding room for laughter and learning.”

No debut date has been set for Lovato’s show, though Vulture reports that the streaming service itself doesn’t debut until April 6. However, you can catch Lovato on TV elsewhere while you wait; her episodes of Will & Grace will air this year.

Demi Lovato Totally Predicted Her Big Super Bowl Moment 10 Years Ago


Last Sunday (January 26), Demi Lovato returned to the Grammys stage in her first live performance since her 2018 overdose. And she followed this up with a performance at yesterday’s Super Bowl, where she sang the national anthem. It was a triumphant moment, for sure, and something Lovato herself knew would happen one of these days.

Her manager, Scooter Braun, was the first to point out that Lovato had tweeted her Super Bowl ambitions almost exactly10 years ago to the day. “10 years later. Dreams do come true. Congrats Demi. See u soon,” he quote tweeted. Lovato’s original post from February 7, 2010 reads, “One day, I’m gonna sing the national anthem at a super bowl. Onnnee dayyy….” (Carrie Underwood sang the national anthem that year ahead of the game between the Indianapolis Colts and the New Orleans Saints.)

“Stealing this from @scooterbraun. Dreams really do come true y’all. ?????,” Lovato captioned a photo of the tweet on Instagram.

She also posted a clip of her performance, writing, “A dream come true ?? Thank you for having me today @nfl!! ? The #SBLIV visual album is up now and benefits will be going towards @inspirechange.”

Demi Lovato has been on the road to recovery since suffering an overdose in July 2018—and has been very open and honest about her struggles. “I have always been transparent about my journey with addiction,” she said on Instagram in August of that year. “What I’ve learned is that this illness is not something that disappears or fades with time.” After her Grammys performance, she wrote, “What an unbelievable night. My first time back on stage in almost 2 years. So emotional for me. Thank you all for the love, support and for sharing this moment with me. I love you all. ?”

Here’s to another night of making your dreams come true, Demi.

Demi Lovato's National Anthem at the Super Bowl 2020 Was So Powerful


Fresh off her moving performance at the 2020 Grammys, Demi Lovato returned to the spotlight on Sunday, February 2 to perform the national anthem at the Super Bowl in Miami, Florida. This is the 27-year-old singer’s second performance since her July 2018 overdose.

Like her Grammys performance⁠—in which she debuted a new song, “Anyone”⁠—Lovato’s take on the national anthem was arresting and poignant. Of course, she was met with rapturous applause after finishing the song.

Here are some reactions to Demi’s performance:

Demi Lovato has been through so much over the past two years. After her overdose, she was hospitalized and then subsequently went into treatment. She addressed this herself in August 2018 on Instagram.

“I have always been transparent about my journey with addiction,” she wrote at the time. “What I’ve learned is that this illness is not something that disappears or fades with time. It is something I must continue to overcome and have not done yet.”

She continued, “I want to thank God for keeping me alive and well. To my fans, I am forever grateful for all of your love and support throughout this past week and beyond. Your positive thoughts and prayers have helped me navigate through this difficult time. I want to thank my family, my team, and the staff at Cedars-Sinai who have been by my side this entire time. Without them I wouldn’t be here writing this letter to all of you. I now need time to heal and focus on my sobriety and road to recovery. The love you have all shown me will never be forgotten and I look forward to the day where I can say I came out on the other side. I will keep fighting.”

She seems to be in a much better place now. Shortly after her incredible Grammys performance, she took to Instagram and said, “What an unbelievable night. My first time back on stage in almost 2 years. So emotional for me. Thank you all for the love, support and for sharing this moment with me. I love you all.”

Demi Lovato Describes the ‘Emotional’ Moment She Came Out to Her Parents


Demi Lovato’s triumphant return to public life continues, this time with a visit to Andy Cohen’s radio show, Radio Andy. Things got deep quick when the singer described the moment she came out to her parents as sexually fluid about three years ago.

Lovato, who just brought the house down at the Grammy Awards, was talking about having kids when the subject arose. The singer revealed she is hoping to start a family this decade but isn’t sure whether she wants to do it with a man or a woman.

“I’m still figuring it out,” she told Cohen. “I didn’t officially tell my parents that I saw myself ending up possibly with a woman until 2017.”

The conversation with her parents went well, she explained: “It was actually emotional but really beautiful. After everything was done, I was, like, shaking and crying. I just felt overwhelmed. I have such incredible parents. They were so supportive.”

According to Lovato, it was her mother’s reaction she was most concerned with. “My mom was the one that I was super nervous about,” she said. “But she was like, ‘I just want you to be happy.’ And that was so beautiful and amazing. I’m so grateful.”

During her chat with the radio personality, Lovato also revealed that she considered putting her music career behind her after an overdose almost two years ago. “I think as time goes, on I’ll be able to give more details, but it was a general thought,” she said. “We didn’t know what was going to happen. We didn’t know how healthy I would be when I left. It was a scary time in my life for sure.”

After Lovato’s heart-wrenching performance at the Grammys, where she debuted her new song called “Anyone,” Selena Gomez spoke out on Instagram Stories to lend her support. “I wish there were words to describe how beautiful, inspirational and DESERVED this moment was,” she wrote over an image of the performance. “Demi I’m so happy for you. Thank you for your courage and bravery.”

Clearly, Lovato’s hordes of fans aren’t the only ones happy she is continuing to create music. And thankfully, we will all get to see her perform the national anthem on Superbowl Sunday.

Demi Lovato Performed for the First Time Since Her Overdose at the Grammys 2020


Demi Lovato took the stage at the 2020 Grammys on Sunday, January 26 to give her first performance since her highly-publicized 2018 overdose. The pop star debuted a new song, titled “Anyone,” and as you would expect her rendition was emotional and powerful.

Lovato got choked up at the beginning of her performance and had to re-start. The audience gave her a warm applause both during and after the performance, with many people standing up at the end.

Here are just a few of the lyrics to “Anyone,” so you can see just how poignant the song is:

“I tried to talk to my piano / I tried to talk to my guitar / Talked to my imagination / Confided into alcohol / I tried and tried and tried some more / Told secrets ’til my voice was sore / Tired of empty conversation / ‘Cause no one hears me anymore…Anyone, please send me anyone / Lord, is there anyone? / I need someone / Anyone, please send me anyone / Lord, is there anyone? / I need someone.”

Watch the performance for yourself, below:

If you forget, in July 2018 news broke that Demi Lovato suffered an apparent overdose. She stayed in the hospital for around three weeks before going into treatment. This was all later confirmed in August 2018 by Lovato herself, who wrote on Instagram at the time, “I have always been transparent about my journey with addiction. What I’ve learned is that this illness is not something that disappears or fades with time. It is something I must continue to overcome and have not done yet.”

She continued, “I want to thank God for keeping me alive and well. To my fans, I am forever grateful for all of your love and support throughout this past week and beyond. Your positive thoughts and prayers have helped me navigate through this difficult time. I want to thank my family, my team, and the staff at Cedars-Sinai who have been by my side this entire time. Without them I wouldn’t be here writing this letter to all of you. I now need time to heal and focus on my sobriety and road to recovery. The love you have all shown me will never be forgotten and I look forward to the day where I can say I came out on the other side.I will keep fighting.”

In a recent interview with Zane Lowe for Apple Music, Lovato revealed she wrote “Anyone” just days before her 2018 overdose. “I wish I could go back in time and help that version of myself,” she said. “I listen back to these lyrics and I hear it as a cry for help.”

Demi Lovato Says New Song 'Anyone' Was 'a Cry for Help'


Demi Lovato is ready to return to music. In a new interview with New Music Daily with Zane Lowe on Apple Music’s Beats 1, she opened up about the brand new song she’s performing at Grammys 2020, a song that was written four days before her apparent overdose.

As Demi revealed to Zane, the track is titled “Anyone,” and she described it as a heavy and emotional look at her mindset in the summer of 2018. “At the time when I was recording it, I almost listened back and hear these lyrics as a cry for help,” she said. “And you kind of listen back to it and you kind of think, how did nobody listened to this song and think, ‘Let’s help this girl.'”

Demi continued, noting that she had decided on sharing the song while still in the hospital. “I remember being in the hospital and listening to the song and it was about a week after I had been in the hospital and I was finally like awake, and I just remember hearing back the songs I had just recorded and thinking, ‘If there’s ever a moment where I get to come back from this, I want to sing this song,'” she explained.

The Grammys performance comes just days before Demi is scheduled to perform the National Anthem at the Super Bowl, and as she shared with Zane, fans will likely hear even more from her. She confirmed that more new material is coming after the release of “Anyone,” saying, “I think as time goes on, I’m going to tell more and more about it. With the next song that I have coming out I think I tell more of the story. With this one it just kind of tells you a little bit about where I was right before and right afterwards.”

Admitting that she is excited to share more new music with fans, Demi further hinted at possible musical collaborations with other artists. Although she didn’t confirm any names, she anticipated that 2020 would be a big year for her. Prepare yourself accordingly, Lovatics.
