Critique: Between the diva and the divan, Demi Lovato makes fans happy

oglobo13 September 2026 at 02:47

American Demi Lovato was the penultimate act of the night on the Mundo stage at Rock in Rio, on a Saturday. The presentation aimed to promote the album "It's not that deep," a foray into dance pop after the furious rock of "Holy fvck," from 2022. The album in question is a double album and has 19 songs. The fandom, as it's said in Portuguese, was wide-eyed and phones pointed at the artist.

Demi appeared accompanied by her dancers, to the sound of "Fast" and "Kiss," two songs from the promotion album. Wearing sunglasses, with a pop diva pose and the beat dominating the sound, she and her team entered sensualizing across the stage.

After three new songs, ending the first act, the hit "Heart attack" activated Demi Lovato's candid mode. The artist likes to make confessional songs, about unsuccessful relationships.

Why this matters

The performance of a major international artist like Demi Lovato at Rock in Rio is relevant for Brazilian readers interested in pop music and festivals, as it shows the programming of one of the country's biggest musical events and offers a critical perspective on the artist's performance on national soil.
