We’re putting Demi Lovato to the test! They sit down with Harper’s BAZAAR to reflect on moments from their incredible career: favorite performances, collaborations, whether she still wants to do an adult version of ‘Camp Rock,’ viral internet moments like “poot,” and what it’s been like to record the rock versions of some of her iconic hits like “Heart Attack” and “Sorry Not Sorry.” Plus, Demi finally answers the long awaited question… what is her favorite dish?
My favorite dish would be a plate.
No, I'm just kidding.
Hey Harper's Bazaar, I'm Demi Lovato
and I'm gonna answer some trivia questions
that are all about me.
How many streams does Sorry Not Sorry have on Spotify?
I know it's over a billion
because I entered the Billions Club with Sorry Not Sorry,
so I don't know the exact number now,
but last year it was a billion, which is crazy.
1.07 billion.
That's fucking rad.
I had no idea.
I thought it was just a billion.
1.07 billion is a lot of streams
and I'm really, really proud of it.
The rock version of Sorry Not Sorry sounds so good.
I'm so proud of it and I actually am getting Slash on it,
which is a huge honor and I couldn't be more excited.
I've known him for years and so when it came time,
I just asked him to be a part of it
and he said yes, which was so dope.
What song did you write with John Mayer?
I actually wrote two songs with John Mayer.
One ended up making my album on Here We Go Again,
which is called World of Chances
and the other was a song that never was released
called Shut Up and Love Me, but I love that song.
Would you ever release it?
Maybe.
I haven't thought about that.
I haven't heard that song in so long,
but it's definitely a good song, so maybe.
Which season of Glee did you guest star on?
I'm gonna say four because that I also have no idea.
Season five.
Okay, I was close.
I think working with Naya Rivera was so awesome.
She was just such a cool girl and her memory lives on
and it was just an honor to work with her
and to play her girlfriend.
Which Kelly Clarkson song did you karaoke
at her concert when you were 13?
I sang The Trouble With Love and it's on YouTube
if you wanna check it out.
♪ The trouble with love is ♪
What's been your favorite song that Kelly's covered?
My favorite cover that Kelly Clarkson has done
is definitely Anyone, which is one of my songs
and to hear her sing it, it was a dream come true.
Like I idolized her growing up and I still do.
When were you on the cover of Harper's Bazaar U.S.?
I'm gonna say May 2020, yes.
It's so much fun to get dolled up and to play
and all the clothes, I just look at it
as like playing dress up.
What spot did your first album Don't Forget
debut on the Billboard 200?
I know that it was number two
because I was really, really proud of it
and I came really close to the number one spot.
My favorite song to re-record from Don't Forget
would definitely be Don't Forget.
It was so fun to sing and I have so much fun
performing it live, so it flowed in the studio.
What was the name of Mitchie's mom in Camp Rock?
I have no fucking clue.
Connie, oh my God, yes.
I just think of her as Maria
because that's her name in real life.
I used to wanna do an adult version of Camp Rock 3,
like an R-rated one, but I think too much time has passed
and it's missed its chance.
Oh God.
Who designed your performance look at the 2020 Grammys?
Oh my God, duh.
Christian Seriano designed my 2020 Grammys look.
I was so nervous at the Grammys.
It's obviously a huge stage to perform on
and it was a very emotional song, so performing it live,
I was really nervous, but it turned out really great
and it's one of my favorite performances
that I've ever done.
I'm always nervous when it comes to live TV
because you have one chance to make it perfect
and I'm a perfectionist, so I get so nervous
that it's not gonna turn out perfect,
but that one turned out really great and I'm proud of it.
Ha, what are your sun, moon, and rising signs?
I know that my sun and rising signs are Leo
and I don't know what my moon is.
According to the internet, a Taurus moon.
I'm a Taurus moon, okay.
I just, I've never really gotten into horoscopes.
I actually, I used to read them,
but on this like one app that I had,
but I think it isn't an app anymore,
so I stopped looking at my horoscopes.
All these years later, what is your favorite dish?
First of all, that whole answer was not me being ditzy,
I swear.
My favorite dish, I like mugs
because they're very comfortable in your hand.
I was really tired and I was doing these interviews
and I was getting asked all these questions
and finally I was just tired of answering the questions
so I thought I'd make up a silly answer
and then it went viral and everyone thought
that I was serious.
But if you watch the video, you'll see me like look over
to my day-to-day manager and smile after that answer
because I was like, huh, they didn't know.
Anyways, my favorite dish would be a plate.
No, I'm just kidding.
My favorite dish is probably pizza.
I love pizza.
Is it weird when things like that or food are getting out?
When Poot went viral, that actually sucked
because I thought that was a real picture of me
and I was like, oh no, that's a really bad angle.
But Poot was Photoshopped.
Later, I felt better about it
because I realized that wasn't my face.
But it was definitely weird when it went viral.
Poot and get a job, stay away from her.
That's a whole other story
but it's really funny to look back on.
Okay, these are my rapid fire questions.
Last famous person you texted.
Camila Cabello.
Last big splurge.
I am going on a vacation
so I rented a house that's really sick
and that was my last big splurge.
What song is currently stuck in your head?
One of my new songs.
I've been in the studio writing
and they're really catchy and I'm really proud of them.
Favorite song to perform live
would probably be Cool for the Summer or Heart Attack.
Heart Attack goes really hard.
Which song was the most fun to re-record for the new album?
Neon Lights.
Last.
Okay, nailed it.
Thank you Harper's Bazaar.
Don't forget to check out my album Revamped
and the rock version of Sorry Not Sorry is out now.
