What is Demi up to?

The 2019 Video Music Awards was the place to be seen by many celebrities, including Taylor Swift, Miley Cyrus, and Cardi B. But one star was not in attendance: Demi Lovato, who hinted that she’s hard at work on a “secret project.”

“Okay I can’t tell you guys what I’m doing today (you’ll find out super soon tho) but its making me SO HAPPY, I’m having SO MUCH FUN and I can’t stop laughing. Now go come up with your crazy a** theories as to what it might be!!!” Demi wrote on her story on Monday.

A few hours later, Demi posted another story, this time writing, “Y’all… none of my news has to do with my dogs, pickles OR MUGS… COME ONNNNNN. I skipped the VMA’s for a REASON. Well that and I just hate award shows.”

However, some fans are speculating that Lovato has been laying low to focus on her mental and physical health. Last July, Lovato was hospitalized following a drug overdose. The singer has struggled with an eating disorder, addiction, and mental health issues in the past.

“She works out at Unbreakable with a trainer several times a week,” a source close to Lovato told the Herald Mail. “She goes to therapy. She eats healthy food and takes great care of herself. She goes to lunch or dinner with friends. Her health and well-being are her priority. Her life is simple but fulfilling because she is feeling great.”
