Singer Demi Lovato is not one to shy away from expressing her true feelings no matter how controversial it may be. In her cover interview for Glamour’s November edition, the former Disney star bares it all.


She talks about how Taylor Swift is anything but a feminist with her bashing Katy Perry and admitting only skinny girls in her girl squad. She talks about her relationship with ex Wilmer Vilderamma, the power of an artist’s voice and how she copes with a busy schedule.
Speaking about Taylor’s girl squad, she said

"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."

She goes on to talk about Swift’s Bad Blood video which made her squad famous and many believe was about Katy Perry "I think that having a song and a video about tearing Katy Perry down, that's not women's 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."

But the 24-year-old singer doesn’t stop there, she talks about how important the voice of an artist is and how it could be used to achieve “good” things. Which is why she has pretty much being open about her eating disorder and prior addictions

"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," she tells the magazine. "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."



Speaking on her split with boyfriend of 6 years Wilmer Valderrama "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."

Unlike some other Disney alums, Lovato doesn’t have all negative feelings towards the channel as she bonded with Nick Jonas while filming Camp Rock and it also gave her a platform boost her career..

"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," she tells Glamour's Emily Mahaney. "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. When I have a long day, I think, 'If [I went back to those things], I'd be able to get through it.' But we now work with our manager, and we have amazing schedules."
