Demi Lovato SLAMS Taylor Swift's Squad's 'Unrealistic' Images

More Celebrity News ►►
You may remember back in May when Demi tweeted about Taylor Swift saying QUOTE - "Don't brand yourself a feminist if you don't do the work." You best believe Glamour had to ask her about it to explain and she was candid and honest about it telling the magazine QUOTE - "I think in certain situations, certain people could be doing more if they're going to claim that as part of their brand. To be honest, and this will probably get me in trouble, I don't see anybody in any sort of squad that has a normal body. It's kind of this false image of what people should look like. And what they should be like, and it's not real." Clearly talking about Taylor Swift and her infamous squad, Demi went on to say QUOTE - "I think that having a song and a video about tearing Katy Perry down, that's not women empowerment. We all do things that aren't, but I have to ask myself, 'Am I content with calling myself a feminist?' Yes, because I speak out."
That then segwayed into her speaking about how important she feels it is for artists to use their voices. She told Glamour QUOTE - "When you're an artist, you have a platform that can reach millions. I feel it's selfish when you don't use your voice, because then you're just relishing the attention—you're not using it for good. I have felt uncomfortable having people say, 'You're my idol,' because I want them to idolize God. I want them to idolize somebody that's done a lot. So I think it's important that artists use their voices for so much more than just their talent."
Demi also opened up about how sometimes when she finds herself over stressed from working too much, it gives her flashbacks to her Disney days that weren’t the most positive. She opened up about her experiences saying QUOTE - "We used to work so much and so hard for very little that when our schedules get too busy, I immediately think about the past. It gives me anxiety, and it's kinda like legit PTSD...You work so hard, and you don't really reap the rewards, or I didn't. But I was on such a platform that gave me the rest of my career—I couldn't complain. [So now] whenever our schedules start to get busy, I start getting triggered because the things I used to do to cope were unhealthy.”
And speaking of having flashbacks unhealthy times in her life, Demi even opened up about her split from Wilmer Valderama and how their relationship always unfortunately reminded her of a dark time. She told the magazine QUOTE - "I think it's healthy to be able to start over with someone else. Being sick was always a part of my relationship with him; I always had something wrong with me. I needed to let go of that. It was hard to depart from somebody who saw everything, but it may be nice to start fresh with somebody. Because that person I was when I was a lot younger is not who I am today."
