Demi Lovato is working on new music inspired by the Capitol riot and the current political climate.
On Wednesday (January 6), the "Anyone" singer begged fans to stop asking about her new album and focus on the issues that America is facing.
"My heart is broken," she began. "It makes me to sad to believe how naive I was to think this couldn’t possibly happen, and yet it did. Here we are. For everyone in my comments saying 'where’s d7' or wanting me to sing instead of speaking up about what needs to change in this country…"
Lovato included a screenshot of a post that compared police response to Black Lives Matter protests to the predominantly white rioters who broke into the Capitol.
"THIS IS WHY I POST AS MUCH AS I DO," she explained. "THIS IS WHY I CARE. THIS CANNOT HAPPEN ANY F–KING MORE. I’m angry, embarrassed and ashamed."
Despite asking fans to not ask about her upcoming album, she also added that she is in the studio working on new music: "I’m in the studio working on something special after today’s assault on democracy."
She concluded her post by using the hashtag, "#impeachtrumptonight."
