Views[]
Religion[]
Lovato is a Christian and prays with their band before they perform. They have described themselves as very spiritual rather than very religious and confirmed their belief in God. They go to a Southern Baptist church occasionally and read the bible daily. They have always credited God with helping them through their tough times and helping to shape their career. During an interview on Ashley Graham’s podcast, they said, “You’re not supposed to do this, but I made this pact with God. I was much younger and I was just like look, ‘God like if you make me famous, if you make me a singer and give me Grammys and stuff, I will do your work.’”.[4] Realizing that they needed to hold up their end of the bargain, they have always been very open in discussing their struggles like bullying, mental health and eating disorders.
In an interview with Zane Lowe for their song "Anyone" that features lyrics questioning "the power of faith and why am I praying.", they described how they had stayed away from church for many years, because they did not feel welcome due to the lifestyle that they were leading and they were also questioning their sexuality, saying that they tried to seek God through their experiences, whether that’s through their relationships or substances and they had to realize that the God that they were seeking and the God that they love is available 24/7 and is always at an arm’s length and is constantly with them. They also said that they need to focus on themselves and their relationship with their own self and their relationship with God. They also credited Scooter Braun, their manager, with helping them to find a place of worship that would understand them questioning their sexuality and accepts them for who they are no matter who they love, and there's no judgment, adding that they "heard God clearer than I heard him in a long time" when he took them there for the first time.[5] In addition to attending church, they also have tattoos that have a religious nature like a cross on the side of their hand and an angel being carried by doves to name some.

What an incredible day for California AND for equality." in June 2013 when DOMA was repealed. they have previously showed their support for the LGBT community: "I believe in gay marriage, I believe in equality. I think there's a lot of hypocrisy with religion. But I just found that you can have your own relationship with God, and I still have a lot of faith." They also identify as a feminist. In a 2017 interview with Dolly magazine, they explained that "Feminism doesn't have to mean burning bras and hating men" but instead "standing up for gender equality and trying to empower our youth and showing women that you can embrace your sexuality and you deserve to have confidence and you don't need to conform to society's views on what women should be or how you should dress."[5] In May 2017, they partnered with Fabletics to create a limited edition activewear collection for the United Nations Foundation's Girl Up campaign to fund programs for "the world's most marginalized adolescent girls".
