Demi Lovato Is 'Filled With Hope' After Grammy Nomination
Singer Demi Lovato couldn't be happier these days.
On Friday, Dec. 7, 2018, the "Tell Me You Love Me" hitmaker took to Twitter to celebrate after her "Fall In Line" collaboration with fellow pop star Christina Aguilera received a Grammy Award nomination for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance.
"Woke up filled with hope. Dreams come true y'all... thank you @xtina. I love you so much," Lovato wrote to her 56.7 million followers alongside a screenshot of their nomination announcement. In the snap itself, the former Disney Channel star added, "What a dream come true... Thank you for this opportunity.. Can't believe I'm nominated for a Grammy with someone I grew up singing to.. My idol forever. Love you sis, thank you."
For her part, Aguilera replied, "You deserve it all and getting to work with you was its own award for me @ddlovato. There's no one I'd rather share this with!!"
Meanwhile, Lovato went on to gush about Aguilera's influence on her singing career in a follow-up tweet, writing, "I grew up in Texas, singing to @xtina everyday, DESPERATELY trying to hit her high notes.. if you would've told me I'd have a Grammy nod with her I would've laughed in your face!! This is so surreal."
As Nicki Swift previously reported, Aguilera, 37, enlisted the help of Lovato, 26, to lend her powerful pipes to their inspiring pop anthem in May 2018. At the time, the "Beautiful" hitmaker tweeted, "To anyone who's ever felt silenced and repressed, the truth seekers and bold thinkers... may you liberate your voice and break the mold, never back down, and never fall in line."
As readers may already be aware, the exciting and well-deserved news of duo's Grammy Award nod comes following a difficult year for Lovato, who suffered a drug overdose at her Los Angeles home in late July. After receiving treatment at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, the "Skyscraper" singer wrote on social media, "What I've learned is that this illness is not something that disappears or fades with time. It is something I must continue to overcome and have not done yet ... I will keep fighting." Lovato has since remained focused on her sobriety after completing a three-month rehab program in late October.
The 2019 Grammy Awards will air live from the Staples Center in Los Angeles on Sunday, Feb. 10, at 8 p.m. EST on CBS.
