Notably, she said she feels like she ‘dodged a bullet’ by calling off her engagement with ex Max Ehrlich last September.

‘I feel like I dodged a bullet because I wouldn’t have been living my truth for the rest of my life had I confined myself into that box of heteronormativity and monogamy,’ Lovato said, again referencing her queer identity. 

‘And it took getting that close to shake me up and be like, wow, you really got to live your life for who you really are.’

Additionally, more was shared about Demi’s friendship with both Ariana Grande, who will appear on her upcoming album, as well as their star manager Scooter Braun.

In a separate interview, Braun explained how Ariana was instrumental in getting her signed with him, at a time after her overdose when she wasn’t sure how to proceed in her career. 

‘I saw that she was scared, like, no one’s going to take me on,’ Scooter told the Times of his initial meeting with Demi. 

‘I asked Ariana’s opinion and she said, let me go to coffee with her. And by the time she got home, she texted me: You have to take her on, this is my friend. I want to know she’s safe.’

Dancing With The Devil, which comes just ahead of Lovato’s next album of the same name, premieres on YouTube on March 23rd.
