Brad Paisley Speaks Love Toward Demi Lovato

Hearts dropped this afternoon as Demi Lovato made headlines after overdosing in her Hollywood home.

The 25-year-old singer, who is known for her infectious pop anthems and waling vocals, has openly struggled with depression and addiction for several years. on June 21st, Lovato released a gut-wrenching single entitled “Sober,” which she used as a platform to share her story of relapsing after nearly six years of sobriety.

The song clutches a hopeful yet regretful cadence and speaks directly to friends and family.

“Mama, I’m so sorry,

I’m not sober anymore,

And daddy please forgive me,

For the drinks spilled on the floor.

And I’m sorry for the fans I lost,

Who watched me fall again,

I wanna be a role model,

But I’m only human.

I’m sorry that I’m here again,

I promise I’ll get help,

It wasn’t my intention.

I’m sorry to myself.”

Demi’s cry for help is sweeping social circles and blurring lines of entertainment divisions and musical genres. The outreach from Lovatics and her celebrity friends is being noted across all social media platforms.

Brad Paisley, an advocate of the talented singer, spoke out on Twitter with kindness and grace.

“My friend @ddlovato is one of the kindest, most talented people I’ve ever met. Praying for her right now, addiction is a terrifying disease. There is no one more honest or brave than this woman.”

The 2016 iHeartRadio Music Awards originally connected the two singers when Paisley was asked to be Lovato’s lead guitar player for her performance of “Stone Cold.” The duo became fast friends and Lovato confessed to being a country music fan and Paisley admirer. This confession sparked a wild collaboration to which “Without a Fight” was born, which Paisley later cut for his Love and War album.

This songstress has had multiple touch points within the country music scene. Lovato also covered the hit, “You Don’t Know Me” written by Nashville Sound trailblazer Eddy Arnold. Lovato’s version was a smash at the Ray Charles Tribute Show that was hosted at the White House in 2016.

Lovato is also currently working with Hannah Lux Davis on a lifestyle documentary. Davis is a highly sought-after female director and staple name among country music creatives. Most recently Davis left us buzzing with her work on the “High Horse” video which Kacey Musgraves recently dropped.

Demi’s involvement in the entertainment industry reaches far past pop music. As an industry of creatives and music enthusiasts, we wish her a fast recovery.
