The public show of support signals a thaw in a once-distant friendship during Lovato’s arena return.

Overview

  • Gomez, who attended Lovato’s It’s Not That Deep opener at Orlando’s Kia Center on Monday, praised the show on Instagram and shared a backstage hug photo.
  • Lovato reposted the Story and thanked Gomez for coming, confirming the reunion through her own account.
  • The night also featured a surprise onstage duet with Joe Jonas on Camp Rock favorites “This Is Me” and “On the Line.”
