When Demi Lovato sings “Heart Attack” at an event for women with cardiovascular disease, it’s an act straight out of Katherine Hudson’s Guide to Being a Celebrity. I bow to her.

Demi Lovato, who sang Heart Attack at a cardiovascular disease event, has the same energy as “Stay Alive,” which was first performed after her uncle’s funeral.
