Demi Lovato is proving that she really is confident, like her new album suggests.
Lovato decided to do a nude photoshoot with Vanity Fair last week, and the photos are making their way around the internet.
The singer told the magazine that she wanted to pose for a series of pictures with three rules. The rules were “no makeup, no clothes, no retouching.”
Lovato did the shoot the day after her great-grandfather, Buddy Moore, died. “If there’s one thing I’ve learned in the past day, it’s that life is too short,” Lovato said.
“I’m about to launch an album that finally represents who I truly am. How do I embrace this new chapter in my life? How do I really walk the walk? What does it mean to be confident?” Lovato continued. “It means letting go, being authentic, saying I don’t give a f--k and this is who I am. I want to show the side of me that’s real, that’s liberated, that’s free. What if we do a photo shoot where it’s totally raw? Super-sexy, but no makeup, no fancy lighting, no retouching, and no clothing. Let’s do it here, let’s do it now.”
This is not the first time Lovato is opening up to a magazine. She recently graced the cover of Complex and talked about her relationship with Wilmer Valderrama and her future wedding plans.
Lovato’s new album, Confident, comes out on Oct. 16.
