Demi Lovato is opening up about how that on-stage Camp Rock reunion with the Jonas Brothers happened, starting with how Joe reached out about being involved in night one of their Greetings From Your Hometown tour in New Jersey and why it was an instant "let's do this."
"'We would love to have you come and perform 'This Is Me' and 'Wouldn’t Change a Thing.' You’ve been a huge part of our journey and vice versa,' so he was like, 'This show is really important to us and we would love to have you there,'" the singer revealed on the Chicks in the Office podcast. "It was so nice, and like I said, it was so healing for me too. We’ve been through so much together, all of us, the Jonas Brothers and I, and it was really, really great to spend time with them."
Before the show, they got to spend a special moment with her husband, Jordan "Jutes" Lutes, and Joe, Nick, and Kevin. "They came to my room all three of them and spent time getting to know my husband, which was really meaningful to me," Lovato expressed. "They just thanked me profusely for flying across the country to perform with them, and it was just so thoughtful, and I felt so appreciated, and it was really healing for us. I loved it, every second of it was so great."
As for the music, she shared, "It's such a meaningful song to me. 'This Is Me' is my first big song that I’ve ever had, and so getting to perform that with them for the first time in God knows how many years was just so full circle and so special, and it was great to see them."
Naturally, with how long it's been since she last performed the songs, she had to refresh her memory. "Once I listened to it a few times, it all came back to me," they commented. "We finished soundcheck and Joe was like, 'Well, you still got it.'"
They also took a walk down memory lane by watching the films: "We watched the first one and I cringed out of my soul, but I loved every second and then, we watched the second one the next night, and it was so fun."
Lovato then reflected on how she views each of her projects, both acting and music, as "scrapbooks," explaining, "I don't just see a project that I worked on, I see a collection of memories that really fulfilled me and gave me so much life at a dark point in my life. I was kind of struggling when I was working on those projects, but those projects brought me so much joy."
