Demi Lovato Explains Why She Returned to the Spotlight After Planned Hiatus

Demi Lovato is opening up about why she returned to the spotlight after planning to take a break in 2017.

The 25-year-old entertainer says she was burnt out at the end of last year, causing her to declare that she’d be taking time off on social media.

“I was in a darker…I was just more frustrated last year with social media and things like that, and words getting twisted in interviews. I was tired and burnt out and had just come off of a tour. I wasn’t feeling very inspired,” she told W Magazine.

But Demi says her plans changed when she found out Confident had been nominated for a Grammy and after a visit to Kenya where she helped build a women’s empowerment center.

“[I] stopped focusing on the negativity in the industry. I just felt ready to go,” Demi explained.
