Demi Lovato Explains Why Jonas Brothers Reunion Was ‘Healing’: ‘We’ve Been Through So Much Together’

Demi Lovato wouldn’t change a thing about her recent reunion with the Jonas Brothers.

In an episode of Chicks in the Office posted Tuesday (Aug. 12) — two days after the pop star made a cameo at the Jo Bros’ kickoff 20th anniversary tour concert in New Jersey — Lovato opened up about how “healing” it was to perform Camp Rock hits “This Is Me” and “Wouldn’t Change a Thing” with former costars Joe, Nick and Kevin for the first time in years. “It was so fun,” they raved. “Seeing everyone and the reactions and everything just filled my soul with warmth and love.”

“It was so healing for me, too,” Lovato continued. “We’ve been through so much together, all of us, the Jonas Brothers and I. It was really, really great to spend time with them.”

The vocalist also revealed that the plan to reunite with the pop-rock trio only came together a few days before they took the stage at MetLife Stadium. “Joe just asked me last week,” she recalled. “Like, ‘Hey, what are you doing next week? You’ve been a huge part of our journey … This show is really important to us and we would love to have you there.'”

Backstage at the concert, Lovato says Joe, Nick and Kevin spent a lot of time “getting to know my husband” –Jordan “Jutes” Lutes, whom the singer married in May — which was “really meaningful to me.” “I loved it — every second of it was so great,” the singer added.

The Disney Channel reunion comes as both the Jo Bros and Lovato are launching new musical eras, with the former releasing new album Greetings From Your Hometown on Friday (Aug. 8) and the latter dropping single “Fast” a week before that. While gearing up to release new pop music, the Sonny With a Chance alum has been revisiting some of her most iconic moments and memes from years past, from revisiting the frozen yogurt shop Lovato once put on blast to recreating “Disney knees” at Disneyland.

On that note, Lovato says there was no hesitating after the brothers sent out an invitation to perform at MetLife. “It was an instant, ‘Let’s do this,'” they said on the podcast. “In this new era of mine, too, I’m throwing it back to the memes, and some of the things I’ve been posting have been really nostalgic. This just fit in with everything I’ve been doing, and on top of that, it’s such a meaningful song for me. ‘This Is Me’ was the first big song I’ve ever had. It was just so full circle.”
