As the dawn of 2024 sets, singer-songwriter Demi Lovato is feeling “grateful” at the start of 2024. She shared a roundup of 2023 that featured fun videos and selfies with fiance Jordan “Jutes” Lutes, reports ‘People’ magazine.
The compilation was set to the track ‘What a Year’ by Inner Circle and included the words, “What a year this has been. And I just want to say, I am grateful. Happy new year”, Lovato — who uses she/they pronouns — wrote in the accompanying Instagram caption. As per ‘People’, in the video, the singer appeared to be in great spirits with Lutes, dancing with friends and jumping in a pool.
“Best year of my life with u. I love u so much (sic),” Jutes commented on the happy roundup. Lovato also captured a bike ride, as well as some stylish looks and the moment Jutes, 32, proposed, which took place on December 16.
The two musicians — who met in January 2022 while collaborating on the track ‘Substance’ and began dating in August of that year — celebrated their engagement at Craig’s, a restaurant in Los Angeles where they were surrounded by family and friends. Days later, the couple spent Christmas together for the first time.
Lovato recently told ‘People’ that last year Jutes flew home to his native Ottawa for the holiday, making this year extra special. “This year is our first Christmas together,” the star revealed. “His mom’s going to join us, so I’m excited for that.”
After signing with Hollywood Records, Lovato released her pop rock debut album, Don’t Forget (2008), which debuted at number two on the US Billboard 200. Its follow-up, Here We Go Again (2009), debuted at number one in the US, while its title track reached number 15 on the Hot 100.
Her third studio album, Unbroken (2011), experimented with pop and R&B and spawned the US platinum-certified single “Skyscraper”. She released her eponymous fourth album in 2013, which debuted at number three on the Billboard 200, and contained the top-ten international song “Heart Attack”.
Lovato’s fifth and sixth albums, Confident (2015) and Tell Me You Love Me (2017), infused soul and mature themes. She earned a Grammy Award nomination for Confident, while “Sorry Not Sorry”, the lead single from Tell Me You Love Me, became her highest-charting single in the U.S., reaching number six. After a hiatus, she released her seventh and eighth albums Dancing with the Devil... the Art of Starting Over (2021) and Holy Fvck (2022), which reached number two and number seven in the US, respectively.
