In a candid interview with Entertainment Weekly, Demi Lovato opened up about her journey, revealing that she identifies as “really, really queer.” Lovato discussed her new album, her struggles with addiction, and the personal growth she’s experienced over the past year. As she prepares to release Dancing with the Devil… the Art of Starting Over, she reflects on her past, including a brief engagement to Max Ehrich during the pandemic, which she ultimately describes as a moment of self-deception.
“I had myself fooled,” she shared, admitting that her engagement felt like a safe choice. However, she recognizes that being single and embracing her true self is far more empowering. “I am too gay to marry a man right now,” Lovato stated, emphasizing her current comfort with her identity, though she acknowledges that her feelings may evolve over time.
Lovato expressed her desire to break free from societal expectations saying, “I don’t need an object on my finger to make me feel like I’ve got my shit together.” This realization came as she learned more about herself and her queerness, particularly after her engagement ended. “This past year, I felt this sense of relief that I could live my truth,” she explained.
The singer, who has previously hinted at her bisexuality in songs like “Cool for the Summer,” now feels liberated to explore her identity openly. “I do have a lot of joy in my life today that has really come from spending so much time with myself,” she said. “And—she’s also really queer. Really, really queer.”
