Demi Lovato found unexpected encouragement in the audience during their 2023 MTV VMAs performance, as revealed on The Jennifer Hudson Show. The pop sensation admitted to Jennifer Hudson that initial nerves were eased by the sight of familiar faces in the crowd.
Reflecting on the performance, Lovato said, “It was an incredible experience. I got the opportunity to present rock renditions of some of my major hits like ‘Heart Attack,’ ‘Sorry Not Sorry,’ and ‘Cool for the Summer.’”
When Hudson inquired about celebrity friends present at the event, Lovato shared a reassuring moment. “Seeing Taylor Swift and Kelsea Ballerini in the audience, rooting for me, really calmed my nerves. It was like a signal that I was ready for this,” Lovato mentioned.
This revelation follows past rumors of a rift between Lovato and Swift, especially after a 2010 incident where Lovato suggested paparazzi “Ask Taylor” about their mutual friend, Selena Gomez. However, recent interactions suggest any past tensions have subsided. A tweet from a Swift fan account showed Taylor enthusiastically singing along to “Heart Attack,” to which Lovato responded with a heart-filled smiley emoji.
