Demi Lovato is QUITTING music and fame next year amid Taylor Swift row
Demi Lovato has revealed she is to quit music in the New Year and focus on her charity work after she hit out at Taylor Swift in a recent interview.
The former Disney star had suggested her comments about the Shake It Off singer could have been taken out of context but stood by slamming her for her feud with Katy Perry .
Now, she has told her fans: "So excited for 2017. Taking a break from music and the spotlight.. I am not meant for this business and the media."
Explaining her decision, she told a fan: "Dunno. It doesn't feel worth it anymore. I'd rather do charity work tbh (sic)"
She recently laid into Taylor for trying to "tear down" rival Katy , and only using women with perfect bodies in her 'Bad Blood' video in an interview with Yahoo!, and though she admitted words can be "taken out of context", she stands by her views.
She tweeted: "I get asked questions. I answer them. Sue me. Also don't forget that words can be taken out of context when doing interviews.. still not apologizing for saying what everyone want to say
"I don't understand why people care so much about what I say in interviews? Do y'all watch the news? Don't y'all got s**t to worry about? (sic)"
In the interview, Demi, 24, hit out at Taylor and her squad - which includes Cara Delevingne, Ellie Goulding, Gigi Hadid and Karlie Kloss - for using her 2014 song and video for 'Bad Blood' to reference her feud with 31-year-old Katy.
Demi, 24, thinks Taylor - who is an outright feminist - failed to empower other women by teaming up with her pals against the Roar hitmaker.
Talking about the video, she said: "I think that having a song and a video about tearing Katy Perry down, that's not women's empowerment."
The brunette beauty also criticised the video for only using women with perfect bodies, which she says gives young fans the wrong impression of what they should look like.
She added: "This will probably get me in trouble, but I don't see anybody in any sort of squad that has a normal body. It's kind of this false image of what people should look like."
