Healing Helped Me Get in Better Shape - Demi Lovato Says After Weight Loss

Demi Lovato returned to the spotlight on Wednesday night at Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve, stunning fans with her 50-pound weight loss transformation.

The 33-year-old singer commanded the stage in a sheer black sparkly bodysuit that highlighted her toned figure.

She went braless for the performance, added black heels, and later wrapped herself in a grey furry coat for the red carpet.

Lovato performed her hit single Sorry To Myself alongside other artists including Mariah Carey, Zara Larsson, and Diana Ross.

While Demi has not confirmed whether she used Ozempic to achieve her 2025 weight loss, from 181 pounds to 128 pounds, she has spoken openly about approaching her transformation in a healthy way.

Reflecting on her journey, Demi credited her self-care and emotional healing for the change. "Doing a lot of healing during the making of my 2024 documentary Child Star helped me get into better shape," she said, referencing her exploration of child stardom and life in the entertainment industry from a young age.

Meanwhile, Diana Ross left viewers in awe as she proved age is no barrier to show-stopping performances.

At 81, the Motown legend energized the crowd with her commanding vocals and stage presence, dazzling fans who were reminded of her decades-spanning career.

Ross, who first gained fame as the lead singer of The Supremes at just 17, appeared in a red sequined, off-the-shoulder gown paired with a floor-length fur coat.

Over the years, she earned the title “Queen of Motown” and helped The Supremes become one of the best-selling girl groups in history.

The New Year’s Eve lineup featured a mix of artists from around the globe, including K-pop group Demon Hunters, Pitbull, Post Malone, and Chappell Roan.

Earlier performances included Busta Rhymes, 50 Cent, Maren Morris, and Rick Springfield, keeping the energy high before the countdown.

The live broadcast from ABC was co-hosted by Ryan Seacrest and Rita Ora in New York City. Chance the Rapper led the Central time zone countdown from Chicago, while Julianne Hough and Rob Gronkowski hosted from Las Vegas.

Roselyn Sánchez served as host from Puerto Rico, completing the multi-location celebration.

Tis The Season Indeed! The state of Tennessee has just pardoned Jason DeFord aka Jelly Roll of his criminal past!!

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Tennessee’s governor pardoned country star Jelly Roll on Thursday for his criminal past in the state, acknowledging the Nashville native’s long road back from drugs and prison through soul-searching, songwriting and advocacy for second chances.

The rapper-turned-singer whose legal name is Jason Deford has spoken for years about his redemption arc before diverse audiences, from people serving time in correctional centers to concert crowds and even in testimony before Congress.

Republican Gov. Bill Lee issued the pardon after friends and civic leaders of the Grammy-nominated musician joined in an outpouring of support.

Jelly Roll’s convictions include robbery and drug felonies. He has said a pardon would make it easier for him to travel internationally for concert tours and to perform Christian missionary work without filling out burdensome paperwork.

He was one of 33 people to receive pardons Thursday from Lee, who for years has issued clemency decisions around the Christmas season. Lee said Jelly Roll’s application underwent the same monthslong thorough review as other applicants. The state parole board gave a nonbinding, unanimous recommendation for Jelly Roll’s pardon in April.

“His story is remarkable, and it’s a redemptive, powerful story, which is what you look for and what you hope for,” Lee told reporters.

Maddie & Tae Announce Split, Share Details Behind ‘Heartbreaking’ Decision

Maddie & Tae are going their separate ways. The duo, made up of Maddie Font and Taylor Kerr, reveal that they are ending their time as a duo, at least for the time being. But both Font and Kerr insist that there are no hard feelings, and the decision really comes down to where they both are in life right now.

Kerr, a mother of two and wife of hit songwriter Josh Kerr, wants to stay home and focus on motherhood. Font, whose husband Jonah Font stays home with their two-year-old, is embarking on a solo career.
“Even though we’re not gonna go on this journey as Maddie & Tae together, we’re still walking and doing life together outside of it,” says Font. “And I think I’m really excited to just be best friends and nurture our friendship and not have to worry as much about the work and still get to raise our babies together. None of that changes.”

Although their paths might be going their separate ways, they both hint that a reunion is not out of the question.
“We’re leaving this so open-ended because, you know, we might make another record one day,” Font says. “We might go do some tour dates one day.”

Both Font and Kerr reveal they have known for a while that they had reached the end of their professional partnership, at least for now. Although the two women remain close friends, the decision to split came over a phone call, making it even harder for both of them to accept.

“Maddie was just like, ‘Tell me where your heart is,’” Kerr recalls. “And I was like, ‘My heart is at home.’ And she said, ‘Okay. Then that’s what we need to do.’”
Kerr remembers that they both cried as they realized the gravity of what Kerr had just said.
“We both knew this conversation was coming eventually,” Kerr acknowledges. “I never imagined it would be on the phone. I always thought we’d get to be in person and hug each other.”

Since they are both mothers, Font fully understands why Kerr wants to focus on her two children at the moment.
“Motherhood is so hard and so beautiful, and there’s no one right way to do it,” Font says. “I think it’s incredible to decide to take a step back from your career and be a stay-at-home mom. I think it’s incredible to be a working mom and still nurture your family and find that balance. We have this opportunity to be an example of both sides, both beautiful and wonderful … No shame.”
Still, the understanding doesn’t make it any easier to consider not making music as a duo anymore.

“It’s been such a hard, hard — honestly, heartbreaking — decision,” Kerr concedes. “This was the only dream I’ve ever had since I exited the womb. I had a very specific vision of creating music and singing music. When we met at 15, that’s what we set out to do, and we’re both just so grateful that we’ve had the journey that we’ve had. This career has been everything we’ve ever wanted.”
Maddie & Tae Thank Their Fans
Font and Kerr also share their thoughts on social media, thanking their fans for being with them since the beginning of their career.
“Thank you for all the love as we step into this new bittersweet chapter,” Maddie & Tae say in a joint statement. “We both feel overwhelmed with gratitude for what we’ve built with y’all the last 12 years. Thank you for making our wildest dreams come true and we hope you stay close by to watch us chase some new dreams. We love you so much and hope you still come shake ya b***y with us on tour next year.

Currently, Maddie & Tae’s last concert is scheduled for June 19. See remaining tour dates on their website.
