Demi Lovato Defends Performing 'Heart Attack' At Heart Disease Event
HuffPost
The singer survived a heart attack herself in 2018.
Demi Lovato certainly made a choice — and sang “Heart Attack” at a heart disease event.
The singer caused quite an upheaval on social media by performing her 2013 hit at an annual American Heart Association event Wednesday. While some attendees at the New York City event may have found the choice distasteful, Lovato has since explained herself.
“She spoke on the mind-heart connection,” a representative for Lovato told Entertainment Weekly on Friday. “It was a sensitive moment intended to champion the women in the room — the very reason why Demi was at the event.”
The event in question, an annual concert for the American Heart Association’s “Go Red for Women” campaign, aims to celebrate a “commitment to investing in women’s heart health,” according to the association’s website. Entertainment Weekly reported Lovato promoted the event on social media Thursday to raise awareness of cardiovascular disease.
The singer herself survived a heart attack in 2018 after a drug overdose.
