We're calling it: 2016 was Demi Lovato [1]'s year. The singer was everywhere — on tour, on your TV, on the radio, at every award show [2] and party, on your Instagram feed [3] — and we're not mad about it one single bit. We really feel like Demi took ownership of her career and her name in the past few months, releasing powerful songs from her Grammy-nominated Confident album and even adding another single to the mix, "Body Say," that gives us a preview of her new sound.
In honor of Demi, our girl-crush, and her kickass 2016, we've rounded up some of her best moments of the year. Keep reading, and if you're not a big fan of her, trust us when we say, you will be by the time you reach the end.
