Demi Lovato Kissed Goodbye to Met Gala 8 Years Ago Due to her “Terrible” Past Experience With a “complete b*tch” Celebrity
As images of celebrities walking the red carpet at the Met Gala 2024 crash the internet, fans are excited to spot their favorite actors and their bold outfits. From feet-long trains to stiff dresses that make it impossible to move, celebrities went one step beyond the usual at this year’s signature fashion event.
Fans were especially excited to see singer Demi Lovato walk the red carpet as she has been missing from the event for the past few years. The pop star has enjoyed limitless stardom at the peak of her career after which she has been suspiciously quiet.
Lovato has been pretty open about her personal struggles and embraced authentic expression way before many celebrities did. Fans like how her songs express a deep emotion and can give words to a feeling that often evades the clutches of expression. Her candor shines through her songs as well, another reason why fans were excited to see the singer back in the spotlight.
Demi Lovato’s Horrible Experience at Met Gala in 2016
Being a teen actor in the industry, Demi Lovato gained immense popularity when she was very young. Handling the spotlight and dealing with the usual ordeals of growing up became increasingly difficult for the singer to juggle. Before social media came onto the scene and people started appreciating unfiltered celebrities, Lovato showcased what authenticity looks like and shared her struggles with alcoholism and eating disorders.
The singer is also known for her candid demeanor as she does not tolerate artificial behavior or fakeness of any kind. She realized this about herself when she attended the Met Gala event back in 2016. The Sorry Not Sorry singer felt suffocated and miserable due to one unnamed celebrity. In an interview with Billboard, she shared,
“I had a terrible experience. This one celebrity was a complete bitch and was miserable to be around. It was very cliquey. I remember being so uncomfortable that I wanted to drink. I changed my clothes, but I still had my diamonds on — millions of dollars of diamonds on in an AA meeting. And I related more to the homeless people in that meeting who struggled with the same struggles that I deal with than the people at the Met Gala.”
At the time, Lovato was also overcoming her struggles with alcoholism so she immediately texted her manager and attended an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting afterwards. Since then, Lovato has not attended the Met Gala event which is considered to be a premiere fashion event of the year.
Demi Lovato Attends Met Gala After 8 Years
After 8 long years, the Heart Attack fame Lovato walked the prestigious red carpet at the Met Gala event. This year’s theme was The Garden of Time where celebrities showed up in their brightest, most innovative outfits. Lovato shone in a silver floor-length gown that sparkled with silver flowers and a diamond necklace.
Despite undergoing several medical issues and an alcohol overdose, Lovato has not embarked on a new path in her life as she is focusing on living a good life. The singer was excited to be attending the Met Gala this year, albeit a little bit anxious and nervous. In a conversation with E! News, she shared that she is also working on a new album that will be out soon.
