      Demi Lovato Determined to Stand Tall Despite Criticisms Over Album or Docuseries

      by

      NBC

      The ‘What Other People Say’ singer insists she will not be shaken by any unfavorable responses to her new studio album or docu-series ‘Dancing With the Devil’.

      Apr 12, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      Demi Lovato suffered an anxiety attack the first time she saw her completed docuseries “Dancing With the Devil”.

      The pop star gets candid about her struggles with substance abuse, self-harm, and eating disorders in the YouTube show, laying bare her feelings about her near-fatal overdose in the summer of 2018, and her long road to recovery.

      However, Demi admits she had to overcome a series of personal challenges before she felt “completely secure” sitting in front of the camera to discuss her troubles so openly, and the first playback of the docuseries was hard for the singer to digest.

      “I had a physical reaction the first time that I watched it, like (an) anxiety attack,” she told U.S. talk show host Jimmy Fallon.

      Despite the adverse reaction, Demi insists sharing her story in her own words has been good for her soul.

      “It’s been really cathartic, really really therapeutic,” she said, explaining it was important for her to own her truth and her story – so much so, Demi now feels mentally stronger than ever.

      She added, “No matter what people say when they watch it, and whatever people think when they listen to my album (Dancing With the Devil…The Art of Starting Over), I am so excited about these two projects and I’m standing in such truth that nothing anyone can say will shake me.”

      Ariana Grande Originally Just Wanted to Be Backing Vocalist for Demi Lovato on New Album

      by

      Instagram

      The ‘7 Rings’ singer initially suggested to be a background artist for Demi on the new song ‘Met Him Last Night’ but the Disney alum insisted the former Nickelodeon star appeared on the track.

      Apr 4, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      Demi Lovato was so impressed with the song Ariana Grande wrote for her, she insisted she appear on the track.

      The “Cool for the Summer” star gave Grande an early preview of songs she was working on for what has become her new album, “Dancing With the Devil… The Art of Starting Over”, and Ariana offered to go away and write a new tune for her pal.

      The result was “Met Him Last Night”.

      Ariana agreed to sing on the track, but suggested she should just be a background artist.

      “She was like…, ‘I’ll be like mystery, harmony lady,’ ” Lovato tells Sirius XM’s “The Morning Mashup”, “and I was like, ‘I feel like the world would love to hear us together, like we should do that.’ And she was like, ‘Are you sure?’ And I was like, ‘Yes.’ And so she added her vocals and, she’s just so talented, so great. I’m so grateful to have a friend like her.”

        See also…

      Grande isn’t the only guest on the new album, which dropped on Friday (02Apr21) – Saweetie, Sam Fischer, and Noah Cyrus also feature.

      The album was released following the premiere of a new documentary where Demi got candid about her personal journey including her struggles with drugs.

      She dropped bombshells about being raped when she was a teen and sexually assaulted by her drug dealer the night she suffered the near-fatal overdose.

      She has since pulled herself out of addiction, but she admitted she’s not completely sober. She still drinking and smoking weed in moderation and gets monthly injections of Vivitrol to prevent from relapsing.

      “I haven’t been by-the-book sober since the summer of 2019,” she explained. “I realised if I don’t allow myself some wiggle room, I go to the hard (expletive). And that will be the death of me.”

      In “The Kind of Lover I Am”, Demi references Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion’s 2020 hit “WAP” and sings, “If somebody comes along /And they just look at me the right way and they tell the right joke /I don’t care if you’ve got a d**k /I don’t care if you got a WAP /I just wanna to love.”

      She also insists she likes the single life after her split from fiance Max Ehrich, adding, “I just wanna f**king share my life with someone at some point/Right now I’m good though I don’t need anybody, I’m good.”

      In another new track, “15 Minutes”, Lovato appears to take aim at her actor ex, singing, “Changed your colours so fast /Tried to turn my friends into friends of the past /Always putting you first, could’ve been your future /But you didn’t even care about me like that.”

      She goes on to suggest that he didn’t take their relationship seriously, “You were looking for 15 minutes, yeah /And now you got 15 minutes, yeah /Pack your stuff, you can come and get it, yeah /Ain’t goodbye but it’s good riddance.”

      Demi Lovato and Ariana Grande Link Up on New Song 'Met Him Last Night'

      by

      Instagram

      The song, which appears on the ‘OK Not to Be OK’ singer’s new album ‘Dancing with the Devil…The Art of Starting Over’, happened after she played the title track for her collaborator.

      Apr 2, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      Demi Lovato and Ariana Grande’s much-awaited collaboration has finally arrived in full. Debuted on midnight Friday, April 2, the song titled “Met Him Last Night” is lifted off the former’s new album “Dancing With the Devil…The Art of Starting Over” which was also released on the same day.

      On the song, the former “High School Musical” actress and the former Nickelodeon star showed off their abilities to hit sky-high notes as they belt out in powerful harmonies about a run-in with the devil. Lovato kicks off the first verse, “Late at night, I’m sipping, as you pass me by/ Red or white, you pour another and say ‘It’s fine.’ ”

      “I seen the devil, yeah, I met him last night/ Had conversations, yeah, I think he’s alright,” she sings in the chorus, “Seem kinda funny, yeah, he kinda my type/ Yeah, yeah, yeah/ I seen the devil, yeah, I met him last night/ One conversation, now he spending the night/ I think I Iove him, though I know it ain’t right.”

      The “devil” seems to be the stand-in metaphor of life’s vices as Grande touches on the temptations this “devil” presents, singing in the second verse, “You got me f**ked up, I won’t let this happen again/ This the last time, you won’t takе advantage of my innocence.”

        See also…

      The two singers come together in the third verse, “How could I ever believe him?/ The one that could be so deceiving/ Boy, you are my only vice, I never feel this way/ Hold me hostage, I’m leaving, boy you just gave me a reason.”

      Prior to the song’s release, Lovato explained how her collaborator came up with the idea behind it. “I played ‘Dancing with the Devil’ for her and she was really really excited about that,” she said. “She came up with this concept for ‘Met Him Last Night’ and when she played it for me, I was like, ‘Oh my gosh, yes, absolutely, I’d love to do this.’ I was so excited to get to work with her. We had so much fun singing together.”

      On the same day of the song’s release, Lovato dropped a music video for “Dancing with the Devil”, the title track and third single off her latest and seventh studio album.

      Demi Lovato Reveals Music Video Snippet as She Reenacts Near-Fatal Drug Overdose

      by

      ABC

      The ‘Sorry Not Sorry’ singer has released a teaser for an upcoming video of her new single ‘Dancing with the Devil’, showing she recreates the scene from her 2018 ordeal.

      Apr 2, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      Demi Lovato is reliving her near-fatal drug overdose drama by reenacting her brush with death for her new music video.

      The pop star debuted the song “Dancing With the Devil” in her YouTube docuseries of the same name, detailing her struggle with addiction and her terrifyingly close call following her 2018 hospitalisation for a drug overdose.

      Now Demi is making her art imitate life by playing out the scary scenario for fans in the accompanying promo, which features the singer partying at a bar and ending up on a hospital gurney.

      According to Entertainment Weekly, the “Sorry Not Sorry” hitmaker, who co-directs the video with her docuseries collaborator Michael D. Ratner, even wears similar clothes and the same style of hair and makeup from that fateful night, when her assistant found her naked and blue after ingesting a dangerous cocktail of heroin and oxycodone laced with fentanyl.

      Demi, who was told she was minutes away from death after suffering three heart attacks and a stroke during the harrowing time, decided to revisit the overdose scare as a form of creative therapy.

      “Sometimes being descriptive can be triggering, but that’s the sad, sad truth of how dark it can get,” she told the publication about the making of the video. “That’s important to give people, too.”

      The video for “Dancing With the Devil” is set to premiere online at 9pm PST on Thursday night (01Apr21), just before she drops her seventh studio album, “Dancing With the Devil…The Art of Starting Over”, on Friday.

      Demi Lovato's Rapist Appeared in Her Movie as Sexual Assault Was 'Swept Under the Rug'

      by

      Instagram

      According to the former Disney darling, her sexual assault was completely covered up even though she confided in ‘somebody of power’ about the harrowing ordeal.

      Mar 30, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      Demi Lovato’s rapist appeared in a movie with her, even after she had confided in “somebody of power” about the sexual assault.

      The 28-year-old singer has previously revealed she had been “hooking up” with a guy but didn’t want to have sex with him because she was still a virgin but he forced himself on her and, after seeking treatment for an eating disorder and addiction issues three years later, she confided in “somebody of power” about what had happened to her.

      She recalled, “She said, ‘I don’t think they should be in your movie coming out.’ That was completely swept under the rug. Nothing was done about it. That person was still in that movie.”

      And the #MeToo movement led Demi to a revelation in 2018.

      She said, “I realised, oh my gosh, this happens in the industry all the time.”

      After she was raped, Demi confided only in her mother and a few close friends and she was left with a sense she was “bad, wrong and dirty,” which caused her eating disorder to spiral.

        See also…

      The “Sorry Not Sorry” hitmaker said, “I realised when I got to treatment (in 2010) that the reason why my eating disorder progressed so quickly and so badly was that I kept the secret of being raped…”

      “When this situation happened I felt so ashamed. That was what was replaying in my head: ‘You’re not married, you’re not married, you’re not married – you’re bad.’ ”

      “I went three years with ‘I’m bad, I’m wrong, I’m dirty.’ This is why I went away to treatment, pretty much. Three years of that will lead to somebody snapping on a plane in Colombia.”

      Demi was also sexually assaulted by her drug dealer following her highly-publicised overdose in 2018 and, in both cases, she tried to confront the men afterwards. However, she admitted, “It didn’t fix anything. All it did was make me feel worse.”

      But the “Sober” singer felt she had to do so in a bid to take back control.

      She told Sunday Times magazine, “I use the term ‘trauma re-enactment.’ And there’s a sense of agency that I guess I felt when I was the one to call them back and kind of correct the situation, in my eyes. Because if I was the one in control, then I was fixing it. Which obviously isn’t the case. Like, what happened still happened. And this is not going to make it any better.”

Ratner-helmed documentary series, “Demi Lovato: Dancing with the Devil”, which explores aspects that led to the singer’s nearly fatal overdose in 2018, and her “awakenings in the aftermath.”
