Demi Lovato Talks Dream Collaboration, Posing Nude, Celebrity Status On 'Billboard'

Demi lovato is having a great year full of surprises with the released of her new album, but the singer has revealed that it took her some time to get where she is now, not only in her career but also in her personal life dealing with struggles as a celebrity in the music industry. "People look at me as an artist that has been around for a while, rather than another former Disney star," Lovato said, "The biggest struggle isn't being a 'woman in the industry,' it's being a 'celebrity': People feel entitled to demand things because they feel you belong to them. To me, it's less about gender and more about fame."

While it has being difficult for Lovato to overcome addictions and body image issues, Demi said that she feels very strong and confident about her recent nude cover for Vanity Fair, "the response has been incredible. I'm really glad people understood the meaning and the purpose behind it." The star also confessed about dreaming of doing a collaboration with a former American Idol winner, "If I was able to record a song with Kelly Clarkson, that would be a dream come true."
