Some critics are demanding an apology from ‘Sorry Not Sorry’ hitmaker Demi Lovato for recently performing her tune ‘Heart Attack‘ at an American Heart Association (AHA) event designed to raise awareness about the impact of cardiovascular ailments.
Taking the stage Wednesday (January 31) at the AHA’s annual Go Red for Women Red Dress Collection concert, Lovato walked through the crowd while she wailed the 2013 hit with attendees – many of whom were survivors of heart attacks and other cardiac conditions.
As videos of the showing flooded the net, detractors took to social media in droves to weigh in on Demi – some even suggesting the song choice was “insensitive,” “tone deaf,” and in “poor taste” given the audience.
Weary of the ridicule and judgment, a rep for the GRAMMY nominee took to press Friday (February 2) to clap back in her defense.
Taking to our friends at EW, a rep for the Pop songstress spoke out about the backlash.
“She spoke on the mind-heart connection. It was a sensitive moment intended to champion the women in the room — the very reason why Demi was at the event,” the spokesperson shared. “She did open with a beautiful intro on why she chose the song and addressed the room, talking about the mind and heart connection. It was actually a beautiful moment.”
At the time of this report Lovato has not spoken about the hoopla herself but she has been vocal in the past about her own health struggles.

Just because she explained it that way doesn’t mean it was received that way. The fact that she even had to preface the performance with such a message should’ve been a clue that she picked the wrong song.
should’ve performed “Give you heart a break” or “Fix a heart”
💯 you are so right
yes drag her stupid ass like how she slammed sugar free fro-yo. what does around,,, comes around. it will bite you in the ass.
