Former best friends Demi Lovato and Selena Gomez feuded three years ago, causing their friendship to dissipate. Recently Lovato opened up to MTV News about the state of her friendship with Gomez and what she thinks about the pop star’s new music.
Lovato and Gomez met as youngsters on the set of Barney & Friends in 2002, and have maintained a cordial friendship in the public eye. Like any friendship, their's has not been without its ups and downs, which Lovato spoke about in a “Live from MTV” special.
In the interview with MTV News, Lovato said, "We've been through a lot together, we've had periods of times we here we grew apart and we just didn't really talk," of her friendship with Gomez.
Around the time of their feud, rumors swirled that Gomez’s budding friendship with superstar Taylor Swift was interfering with her relationship with Lovato, but the “Skyscraper” singer maintains that the two are past that.
“Now we are in a place where I think we realized that life is so short and that when you have people in your life that love you so much then, you should just always be around them," Lovato said, “Everything about her, she has a great soul, she's talented, she's beautiful, and she will always be really, really close to my heart."
Lovato’s desire to “be around” Gomez extends to her musical preferences. The Huffington Post reports that upon hearing Gomez’s new single “Come & Get It”, Lovato tweeted she was “obsessed.”
