The American Heart Association advocates for heart health worldwide. A fundraising event took place in New York on Wednesday. The annual charity event aims to raise awareness of cardiovascular disease, the leading cause of death among women in the United States. Singer Demi Lovato was invited on stage – and made a big mistake.
In addition to hits such as ‘Cool for the Summer’ and ‘Skyscraper’, the 31-year-old also performed her song ‘Heart Attack’. In German: “heart attack”. The song is about the fear of falling in love. This is emphasized with lines like, “I don’t want to fall in love because if I did, I’d have a heart attack.” And Lovato sang these lines in a room full of people who have already had a real heart attack themselves. And not because of the fear of falling in love.
“Totally wrong”
Shortly afterwards there was a rain of criticism. Excerpts from the performance went viral on social media. While some enjoyed the clips, others found the song selection distasteful. “Totally wrong,” one TikTok user wrote on one of the videos, while another said: “You can’t tell me Demi and her whole team thought this song was a good idea.”

However, Demi Lovato did not perform her song “Give Your Heart a Break.” Would also have been a good candidate.
Neither Demi Lovato nor the American Heart Association have yet responded to the criticism.
