Not to mention, some publications began sharing and building on the funeral-inspired narrative. However, in an interview with Rolling Stone, Lovato cleared up the matter.
Asked about the so-called funeral, the star clarified, “It honestly wasn’t a funeral. It was a label meeting, and we just all happened to be in black, and I was like, ‘Wow, this is like a funeral for my pop music.’ There wasn’t an actual funeral.”
