Demi Lovato kicks off a celebratory new era

Lovato’s tour marks an important chapter in her career, and the opening night reflected that energy.

The singer has been open about how much this era means to her, especially following the release of her 2025 album 'It’s Not That Deep'.

Speaking at an event in New York City on March 17, Lovato shared how this phase of her life feels different. “It's really amazing to be in this era right now,” she said. “It's very celebratory, very fun.”

She explained that the album itself is a reflection of where she stands today. “I mean, that was really what the essence of the album was, was a reflection of where I'm at in my life today, which is I'm happier than ever, and I wanted my music to reflect that.”

A night full of music, memories, and familiar faces

The opening night wasn’t just about Lovato and Gomez. It also brought together familiar faces from their Disney days.

She also teased what fans can expect from the shows. “I can't wait to play music from It's Not That Deep, but also songs that you are all already familiar with.”
