Demi Lovato recently put fans at ease after concerns arose about her visibly shaky hands in a TikTok cooking video. The 32-year-old singer and actress, known for her powerhouse vocals and resilience, was demonstrating how to roast a whole chicken when one fan commented on her unsteady movements.
The video, part of Lovato’s Cooking with Demi series, showcased her attempting the classic dish while admitting she felt intimidated by the process. “It seems really overwhelming, but it’s not. We’re gonna have fun, and I’m telling myself this because I feel overwhelmed,” she shared in the clip.
A TikTok user, @dannygarca7, took to the comment section, writing, “I’m afraid of seeing her shaking that hard.” Lovato swiftly responded, “I’m okay! I promise,” accompanied by a black heart emoji, reassuring her followers that there was nothing to worry about.
A Story of Strength and Survival
While some fans may not be fully aware of Lovato’s health struggles, the Heart Attack singer has been open about the long-term effects of her near-fatal 2018 overdose. After suffering three strokes and a heart attack due to heroin laced with fentanyl, she now lives with lasting complications, including partial blindness, hearing loss, and brain damage.
Despite these challenges, Lovato has continued to thrive in her career. She recently got engaged to Canadian musician Jordan “Jutes” Lutes, whom she met while working on her 2022 album Holy Fvck. The couple, who have matching tattoos inspired by their song 4 Ever 4 Me, initially planned to marry sooner but have delayed their wedding due to Lutes’ upcoming Sleephead Tour.
New Horizons in Acting
In addition to her music, Lovato is expanding her creative pursuits into acting. She is set to star in the upcoming drama Tow, directed by Stephanie Laing. The film follows Amanda Ogle (played by Rose Byrne), a homeless woman in Seattle struggling with a massive tow bill. Lovato joins a star-studded cast, including Dominic Sessa, Ariana DeBose, Octavia Spencer, and Simon Rex.
Looking Ahead
Lovato, who first captured hearts as a child star on Barney & Friends before rising to fame with Disney Channel’s Camp Rock, continues to navigate her career with resilience and authenticity. While her next album won’t follow the rock sound of Holy Fvck, fans can expect more music and personal growth from the artist.
As she assured fans on TikTok, she’s doing just fine—one roasted chicken at a time.
