Demi Lovato teases new music era with social media reset and cryptic posts
The speculation intensified as Lovato swiftly followed up with a full social media reset and mysterious updates. Within 24 hours, she wiped her Instagram feed, changed her bios to 'i wanna go…', removed all LinkTree links, and altered her profile photo. Fans also noticed her official website had gone offline.
Lovato then resurfaced an old tweet from 2016 that read, 'F--k this.. I'm back b--ches. And I'm coming back more honest than ever.' On Wednesday morning, she posted a photo on X (formerly Twitter) of herself seated in a stark white studio with her back to the camera. An hour later, she followed up with an Instagram photo, posing in a black dress with the caption, 'i'm not so sure, i've ever felt like this before.'
Lovato's devoted fanbase, known as the Lovatics, flooded social media with excitement following the surprise online activity. Comments ranged from 'DEMI LOVATO IS COMING' to emotional reactions like, 'I've missed you.'
Lovato's last album of original material, HOLY FVCK, was released in 2022. Since then, she has dropped REVAMPED, a rock reimagining of her past hits, and released several collaborations.
Best known for her Disney Channel roots in Camp Rock and Sonny with a Chance, Lovato has built a career on powerful vocals and deeply personal music. She is also a prominent advocate for mental health, body positivity, and LGBTQ+ rights.
While no release date has been confirmed, fans are eagerly awaiting her musical return.

e.l.f. Cosmetics faces backlash for featuring Matt Rife in new ad campaign
Cosmetics brand e.l.f. is under fire after releasing a new ad starring comedian Matt Rife, a performer whose past jokes about domestic violence have drawn widespread criticism. The campaign, intended as a light-hearted parody of the iconic 'Cellino & Barnes' lawyer commercials, has instead ignited anger from customers and beauty influencers. In the spot, Rife appears as fictional injury lawyer ' alongside drag performer Heidi N Closet as 'Schmarnes.' At one point, Rife quips, 'I know a thing or two about red flags,' a line that some viewers interpreted as a tone-deaf nod to his past controversial material. Many critics pointed to Rife's 2023 Netflix special Matt Rife: Natural Selection, in which he joked about a woman getting a black eye for poor cooking. Though the comedian issued an apology at the time, it was widely seen as insincere. He later faced further backlash for making a crude remark to a 6-year-old boy about his mother's OnlyFans earnings. Reaction to e.l.f.'s casting choice was swift and fierce. One viral comment on TikTok read, 'Is Matt Rife here to sell us concealer for black eyes from domestic violence?' Influencers with millions of followers, including NikkieTutorials and @kristians_makeup, called out the brand for platforming Rife, with several pledging to stop supporting e.l.f. altogether. Australian beauty creator Jill Clark told her followers she was officially boycotting the brand, noting, 'In 2025, when there is an epidemic of violence against women, you don't make the face of your campaign a man who jokes about domestic violence.' Despite the controversy, Rife's own fans largely celebrated the ad on his Instagram page. The company has yet to issue a formal statement responding to the backlash.

Demi Lovato opens up about emotional Jonas Brothers reunion after years apart
Demi Lovato has described her surprise reunion with the Jonas Brothers as an emotional and healing experience. The former Disney Channel stars came together for the first time in more than a decade at the opening night of the Jonas Brothers' 20th anniversary tour in East Rutherford, New Jersey. Lovato joined Joe, Nick and Kevin on stage to perform two of their most memorable Camp Rock hits, This Is Me and Wouldn't Change a Thing. Speaking on the Chicks in the Office podcast, Lovato revealed that Joe Jonas personally reached out just a week before the show. She said he told her how much she had been a part of their journey and invited her to join them for what was a special milestone. Lovato explained that the decision was an easy one, saying it was an instant yes and perfectly aligned with the nostalgic mood she has embraced in her new era. Before the concert, the Jonas Brothers visited Lovato's dressing room to meet her husband Jordan Lutes, whom she married in May. She said their kindness and appreciation for her flying across the country made the night even more meaningful. Reflecting on the moment, Lovato said it was full circle for her, especially since This Is Me was her first major hit. Performing it again alongside the Jonas Brothers brought back powerful memories of their shared history and the challenges they had overcome together. Lovato's current musical direction sees her stepping into dance pop with her latest single Fast. Her upcoming ninth studio album is in its final stages and expected later this year. For her, the reunion was not just a performance but a reminder of the enduring connections formed in those early years of her career.
