Lovato grew up in Albuquerque, New Mexico, where she won many talent contests as a child and performed in famous venues like the Dallas Cowboys’ Thanksgiving Day halftime show. At 10, Lovato was booked as a regular on Barney & Friends, and also appeared on Just Jordan and Prison Break. Her big break came when Lovato was cast as Mitchie Torres in the Disney Channel original movie Camp Rock, alongside the Jonas Brothers, with whom she recorded three songs for the film’s soundtrack.

In 2011, Lovato released Unbroken, which yielded the platinum top 10 hit “Skyscraper.” Demi followed two years later, and was succeeded by Confident, which produced the number 11 single “Cool for the Summer,” while the album itself reached number 2 on the Billboard 200. More success came for Lovato with 2017’s Tell Me You Love Me, and its hit single “Sorry Not Sorry.”
