Following her split from fiancé Max Ehrich, a newly single Demi Lovato is opening up about her sexuality, telling Facebook, during their “Coming Out 2020” event on Friday (Oct. 9), how the famous ‘Cruel Intentions‘ make out scene made her realize she was queer; and how most of her music is actually about women.
Speaking on the 1999 film, the 28-year-old singer tells ‘Queer Eye‘ star Tan France, “It was definitely when I was young and definitely should not have been watching ‘Cruel Intentions’ but did, and it was that scene where they made out on the park lawn. I was just like, ‘Oh wait a minute, I really like that, I want to try it.’ And then when I was 17 I did get down with that.”

Additionally, Lovato, who says “there’s nothing wrong with experimentation,” further explains how some of her music has actually been about women; and how she’s “surprised” at how people never figured it out. She says, “There were times I wrote songs about girls that my fans thought I wrote about guys. I was sharing it with the world, yet I wasn’t being completely obvious with what I was talking about. Music was my safe space.”
