Demi Lovato says her fans make the physical and mental exhaustion of touring worthwhile.
The 33-year-old singer told The Hollywood Reporter in 2024 that she may never tour again because of the “toll” it puts on the body, but Demi cannot wait to play her hits to fans on her upcoming It’s Not That Deep Tour.
She told People: “I think what’s difficult for people to understand is how taxing it can be on the body, on the mind, so that’s the reason, probably, why I said that.
“It’s just a lot of work, but the reward of playing in front of your fans and getting to see their reactions to my new music, to older songs … It’s the feeling when I see a fan crying through a smile because they’re so excited to be there.
“There’s no words for it. It leaves me speechless and so grateful, and I want that. As hard as touring can be, it is so much fun, and that’s what I’m looking forward to is the connection with my fans.”
The Fast hitmaker recently axed five of her Its Not That Deep Tour gigs – Charlotte, North Carolina, on April 8, Atlanta, Georgia, on April 12, Nashville, Tennessee, on April 14, Denver, Colorado, on May 5, and Las Vegas, Nevada, on May 8 amid fears she had “overextended” herself.
Also, Demi’s show in Orlando, Florida, has been moved from April 10 to three days later on April 13, where the tour will now “kick off”.
And the Grammy award nominee is devoting her focus to ensuring she is physically prepared for the shows.
Demi said: “There’s a lot of training that goes into touring.
“I’ve been for the past few months in the gym making sure I’m doing a lot of cardio, so I’m not out of breath when I sing and dance at the same time.
“Also, you want to make sure that you prepare your muscles, so I have some back issues and getting my glutes and my quads strong so that I’m protecting my body.
“And then of course, rehearsing. I’m going to rehearse a lot for this tour, so there’s a lot of work that goes into it, and it’s going to be so worth it. I can’t wait.”
The Confident singer is also trying hard to remember her songs’ lyrics.
Demi explained: “I have ADHD, and so sometimes mid-song, my mind will just go somewhere else. I’ll see a poster in the audience or something, lose my focus and forget the words to my own songs.
“You also have to remember, I have nine albums now. There’s so many lyrics that I’ve had to memorise over the course of my career that it’s sometimes I just forget the words.”
Demi wished her 34-year-old husband, musician Jordan “Jutes” Lutes, was hitting the road with her.
The star – who married Jutes at the historic Bellosguardo Estate in Santa Barbara, California, in May 2025 – said: “We try to go no longer than two weeks without seeing each other, so he will be visiting me a lot in the first month, but he’s actually going on the road while I’m on the road as well.
“So we’ll be away from each other for a little bit longer than two weeks, which will be a little difficult, but I’ve got my fans to keep me company, and it’ll be great.”
