Demi Lovato has praised fellow chart-topper Lizzo after the 'Good As Hell' singer corrected a photographer who had misgendered them.
Lovato, 28, announced in an Instagram post back in May: "I am proud to let you know that I identify as non-binary and will officially be changing my pronouns to they/them moving forward."
And it would seem Lizzo is 100% supportive of the 'Cool for the Summer' singer's decision, as she was recently caught on camera correcting a paparazzo who incorrectly misgendering Lovato.
In the now-viral clip, the photographer repeatedly asks Lizzo if she would be performing with Lovato and if their team had reached out to the rapper. To which, Lizzo says: "'They.' 'Have their team contacted you?’ Demi goes by they."
In response, the photographer can be heard saying, "Oh, oh! Thank you for the correction," in a seemingly sarcastic tone.
In response to the clip, Lovato took to their personal Instagram account to share a Story praising the Grammy winner for her support.
Alongside a screenshot of the video, Lovato wrote: "@lizzobeeating you f***ing queen I love you. Thank you".
Since making their announcement, Lovato has spoken out about how their non-binary identity has been received.
Watch Lovato's announcement below:In an interview with Audacy, Demi said it took "a year and a half of exploration" to get to this point in their life, and shared how their friends and family have been doing "an incredible job" with their new pronouns.
Demi said: "I've noticed - especially my older sister Dallas - I've noticed ... her using 'them' and 'they,' and it really does warm my heart up that people are trying. My friends have had a little harder time to get used to it, actually.
"Just because I think your friends are the ones who you're more likely to be like, 'Biii**h!' So I'm like, look, you can still call me 'b***h'," Demi laughed.
In a separate interview with actress and activist Jane Fonda on her Fire Drill Fridays live-stream, Lovato revealed that if they "had listened to the patriarchy" then their life would "have never changed".
They said: "After years of living my life for other people, trying to make myself smaller for the patriarchy... They run the industry, they are at the center of everything.
"When I realized that, I thought, 'What are the ways that the patriarchy has been holding me back?' And for me, it was putting me in a box telling [me], 'You are a female, this is what you're supposed to like, this is what you're supposed to do, don't dream bigger and don't speak louder.'"
Lovato continued: "That didn't vibe for me because I'm too outspoken for that."
