Demi Lovato reveals that “Cool for the Summer” was about hooking up with a famous woman:
“People are going to wonder now.”
After a Taylor fan account posted a clip of the moment on X, formerly known as Twitter, Demi responded on Sept. 13 with three emojis of a smiling face surrounded by hearts.
The 31-year-old has known Taylor for years, having broken out into the music scene around the same time as the pop star during the late aughts.
However, rumors of beef between the two singers emerged in 2010 after Demi gave a very blunt reply to a question about their mutual friend Selena Gomez. When a fan asked Demi about Selena, who she costarred with on Barney and Friends as kids and in 2009’s Princess Protection Program, she simply answered, “Ask Taylor.” “I actually released it before I came out as bisexual,” Lovato said of the song during an appearance on SiriusXM’s “The Howard Stern Show” on Monday.
“When I came out, my dad was like, ‘Yeah, you have a song called ‘Cool for the Summer,'” she added.
In “Cool for the Summer,” the lead single from Lovato’s fifth studio album “Confident,” Lovato sings of having “a taste for the cherry.”
Don’t be scared, ’cause I’m your body type / Just something that we wanna try,” she sings.
Asked by Stern if the woman she wrote the song about is aware that it’s about her, Lovato replied: “No.”
Stern then asked if it was about someone famous, to which the 31-year-old singer replied: “What if she is?”
“Is she?” Stern asked again.
