Demi Lovato has grown leaps and bounds since her Disney days, and we’re not talking breakdowns and rehabs — we’re talking about her killer vocals.
The singer recently returned more vibrant than ever with a series of chart-topping hits, and now she’s stepping outside her comfort zone and trying country music.
A Stellar Collaboration With Brad Paisley

The song “Without a Fight” was released on May 13, 2016, written by Brad Paisley, Kelley Lovelace, and Lee Thomas Miller. Lovato and Paisley also performed the song at the Irvine Meadows Amphitheatre on May 20, 2016.
Brad Paisley invited Demi Lovato to collaborate on “Without a Fight” after hearing her perform “Stone Cold” at the iHeartRadio Music Awards. They also performed their song during the Good Morning America Summer Concert Series in Central Park.

“By the time the song leads to this loud ending … it needed to be the right female voice,” the country star told Taste of Country Nights host Sam Alex.
“Everybody goes through a period where you’re fighting a lot, I think. Sometimes that can be a good thing for your relationship. That conflict can lead to making up,” he added about Without a Fight.
In addition to showcasing her musical versatility during these performances, Demi also turned heads with her bold fashion choices, particularly during her appearance on ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ where her outfit was as striking as her vocals.
Fashion Highlights From ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’

Demi wore a whopping $1,489 Givenchy cape open-sleeve mini-dress with a pair of Nasty Gal “Clarissa” lace-up boots, which she folded over at the top.
These heeled boots lace up the fronts, from the peep toe to several inches up the thigh.

Despite the huge price discrepancy between the two pieces, Demi pulled off a look worthy of an international stage.
Romance on and off the Stage
Demi was later escorted down the studio stairs by her boyfriend, Wilmer Valderrama, before the two left for dinner at The Three Clubs in Brentwood.

Don’t you love how she performed in her kickass boots on stage with Brad Paisley? Do you think she pulled off the country vibes? Yay or nay?
