Demi Lovato Is Finally Home…

Demi Lovato is many things to many people. A pop star, an advocate, a role model. And for years she tried to fulfill those roles—at the cost of her own happiness. But after her overdose in 2018 and spending the last two years figuring out what she really wants, the 28-year-old singer is more centered—and more herself—than ever. To put it simply, she’s home.

On the second floor of Demi Lovato’s new Los Angeles house is a space she lovingly calls the cloud room. A large puffy lamp stretches across the ceiling, flickering with neon light. A plush couch, vibrantly color-blocked, is paired with an electric-purple beanbag-like chair in the corner. The carpet is striped and rainbow. It’s a fiercely unique oasis, one the singer proudly shows off in her new YouTube documentary, Dancing With the Devil. “I wanted something so out-there that no one has in their house,” she says.

Had her life gone another way—the way she thought her life needed to go—the cloud room wouldn’t exist. “I almost designed this house for a straight couple,” Lovato tells me, referring to her highly publicized relationship last year. “I’m not straight, but it was a hetero situation. This could have been a very normal-looking house.”
