Demi Lovato reveals her relationship with her image has 'changed a lot'

Demi Lovato has revealed that her relationship with her image has "changed a lot" over the years.

In a recent interview with Allure, Demi, who uses she/they pronouns, opened up about how their relationship with their image has changed over the years while living in the spotlight for nearly 20 years.

"It's changed a lot," she told the publication. "I was this wide-eyed, fresh-faced little Disney Channel actor and singer and over the years I've experimented with my style a lot. Now I feel like I've kind of chilled out. I'm not waking up with pink hair anymore."

Demi admitted she used to put "a lot of pressure" on herself to look a certain way earlier in her career.

"I used to put a lot of pressure on myself," they said. "And now I've taken that pressure off - to where I'm not trying to fit a certain mould or a certain size. I'm just trying to be healthy and live my best life regardless of what other people think of me."

"It's a daily struggle sometimes," Demi, 31, continued. "But for the most part, I don't care as much as I used to. I've lived in the public eye for so long; it can consume you. And I just don't let it consume me anymore. I don't let it consume my mental health."

Elsewhere in the interview, the Heart Attack singer confessed that they sometimes feel anxious about getting older.

"I get anxiety around ageing sometimes, not because of the beauty standard aspect of it," they told the publication. "But because we're getting older and we're running out of time. I mean, look, obviously, I don't want wrinkles, either. That's why we're here. Right? So I can't say that it's not a little bit of that... But for the most part, it's just about like, the existential dread."
