Lovato Praises Gomez, Embraces Memes on Late-Night Show

Demi Lovato appeared on Bravo’s Watch What Happens Live Tuesday night to applaud Selena Gomez’s engagement and discuss her own viral moments as she gears up to release her ninth studio album.

The singer used her interview on Bravo to reaffirm her support for fellow Disney Channel alum Selena Gomez and to explain how she’s reclaiming her online image by “owning the memes.”

Reaction to Gomez’s Engagement

• When host Andy Cohen asked about Selena Gomez’s recent engagement to producer Benny Blanco, Lovato said she “couldn’t be happier” for the couple and praised Gomez’s new album I Said I Love You First as “really, really great.”
• Lovato recalled their long friendship-dating back to Barney and Friends in 2001-and expressed genuine joy at Gomez’s next chapter.

Owning Her Viral Memes

• In a conversation first published in PAPER Magazine, Lovato revealed she’s now active on TikTok and finds empowerment in laughing at herself: “If I’m laughing, nobody can laugh at me.”
• The star referenced iconic moments like the “Disney knees” clip from Camp Rock and other internet memes, describing her new era as one of “taking my power back” and inner confidence.

Album Update

Lovato continues to promote It’s Not That Deep, set for October 24 release. She described the record as a celebration of her current happiness-“no more heavy topics,” but “music for late nights and dance floors.”
