Demi Lovato, the 33-year-old pop star, took fans on a wild trip down memory lane this Halloween by dressing up as her very own viral meme, "Poot Lovato." She surprised fans on Instagram Thursday with a fun carousel of photos, showing both the original faded 2015 image and her fresh, spooky take on it. What is "Poot Lovato"? It’s a funny nickname for a meme that exploded online nearly a decade ago. The meme came from a low-quality, washed-out fan photo that made Demi look like she had a secret long-lost twin – one locked away in a dark basement! Fans shared hilarious stories about this mysterious "Poot" who lived in the shadows, and the meme became an instant cult hit in 2015. Demi didn’t just stop at putting on the costume. She fully embraced the eerie theme by posing in her garage, acting like a creepy creature creeping out of darkness. Her shadow matched perfectly with Poot's spooky vibe! She even uploaded several funny TikTok videos: one showed her trapped as Poot in the garage, screaming for help, and another was a "House Tour" of Poot's simple "home," which included essentials like bubble wrap, a water heater, and cleaning supplies. Behind the scenes, Demi shared videos of her makeup artists working their magic to turn her into Poot. Her caption read, “happy halloween and happy one week of intd!!! been so locked in this era, thought I’d let pootvato out.” Fans loved her playful attitude! Her husband, Jutes, was quick to join the fun, joking, “Alright Halloween is over everyone. Pack it up. It belongs to demi this year better luck next year.” Clearly, Demi had won this Halloween showdown! This isn’t the first time Demi brought back Poot Lovato. She even snuck a glimpse of Poot into her "Fast" music video released in August. Talking about the meme in September with Paper magazine, Demi said owning the meme gave her power: “An incredible, powerful way to take the power back is to own the memes,” she explained. “Because then, if I’m laughing, nobody can laugh at me. I’m laughing at me.” Her funny, confident take on Poot has truly evolved. Back in July 2023, in an interview with Harper’s Bazaar, she admitted the meme was tough to handle early on. “When Poot went viral, that actually sucked because I thought that was a real picture of me,” Demi said. “But Poot was photoshopped… Later, I felt better about it because I realized that wasn’t my face.” Now, a year later, Demi is not just laughing at the viral joke—she’s dressing up as it! Once just a silly internet meme, Poot Lovato has become the star of Halloween 2023 for Demi and her fans. This fun and fearless celebration shows how Demi has taken the internet’s laughter and turned it into her own spotlight moment.
