Demi Lovato faces backlash for her tweets during the Capitol riots

Demi Lovato has been criticized for her use of social media during the Capitol riots.

However, this is not the first time that the 28-year-old has used Twitter bizarrely, such as when Taylor Swift supported Kesha during her sexual assault trial by donating $250,000 to Kesha.

Lovato tweeted: "Take something to Capitol Hill or actually speak out about something and then I'll be impressed."

So, perhaps unsurprisingly, her use of the social media website during the Capitol riots was taken by some as being tone-deaf.

"My heart is broken. It makes me sad to believe how naive I was to think this couldn't possibly happen, and yet it did. Here we are," Demi tweeted during the domestic terrorist attak. "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..."

"...this is why I post as much as I do," Demi continued. "This is why I care. This cannot happen any fucking more. I'm angry, embarrassed, and ashamed." Then, Demi added, "I'm in the studio working on something special after today's assault on democracy."

While Demi's tweets might have been well-intentioned, the focus they had on the singer herself and her creative endeavors did not go down well on the social media website because they were posted in the midst of the riots.

One Twitter user wrote: "Girl just open your f*cking purse and donate some money...it does a lot more than writing and releasing songs then keeping the proceeds or profit made..like [sic]."

A second added: "using black issues to make money off a song? thats sick [sic]."

Meanwhile, a third turned the singer's actions into a meme, writing: "White people burning down the Capitol and your solution is to record music."

A fourth meanwhile begged the singer to "read the room" and not release a song about the event.

A fifth then joked about the potential contents of the song, writing: "why i just know demi lovato in a studio somewhere rhyming democracy and hypocrisy [sic]."

The singer has yet to respond to the backlash surrounding her tweets on the day of the riots.
