She’s gearing up for her upcoming eighth studio album, Holy Fvck, set to drop on August 19. “HOLY FVCK takes me back to my roots,” Demi Lovato said of her new album.
“It’s a body of work that’s unapologetically me, and I can’t wait to perform it on tour for you!”
After giving fans a taste of what the album will sound like with the release of its lead single, Skin of My Teeth, last month, the 29-year-old singer unveiled the album’s second track, Substance, with a debut live performance on Jimmy Kimmel’s talk show on Thursday.
For her guest appearance, the former Disney star went the rock-n-roll route and sported a black jacket adorned with silver chains, pins, and patches. Underneath, she wore a white band tee with red graphics and tucked it into a pair of black trousers with silver chains as a belt.
To complete her edgy punk-rock look, the Princess Protection Program star styled with a nose ring, a silver chain necklace, and a pair of black sneakers with silver spike studs.

Lovato, who came out as non-binary and temporarily changed her gender pronouns to they/them in May 2021, added a swipe of bold red lip color, well-defined thick eyebrows, and a hint of blush to the look. She has since updated her pronouns to include “she/her.”
The Will & Grace star then wore a dark brown wig with blunt bangs that concealed her forehead cut, which she first revealed to her TikTok followers the night before her guest appearance on the show.

Several hours before her guesting on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, the Camp Rock star took to the social media platform to share an accident that left her with stitches on her face.
Using the viral Nobody’s Gonna Know audio, the Sorry Not Sorry hitmaker is seen covering one side of her face and later revealing a cut right above her eyebrow. “Guess who hit their head on a crystal and has to get stitches before Kimmel tomorrow?” Lovato captioned the clip.
