Selena Gomez made sure she was in the house for her old Disney Channel friend Demi Lovato on Monday night (April 14) when the “Cool For the Summer” singer kicked off her It’s Not That Deep tour at the Kia Center in Orlando. In an Instagram Stories post from the night, Gomez posted a series of glam pics of Lovato, including one in which Demi was getting her lips touched up with a caption heaping praise on her friend’s impressive vocals.

“I am in tears,” Gomez, 33, wrote. “@ddlovato — this was hands down one of the best shows. Oh and the VOCALS? Psh *blown away.” The reel included a sweet picture of the two women backstage, hugging and smiling for the camera with a heart emoji posted between them. Gomez also posted a short video in which she’s rocking a black “It’s Not That Deep” sweatshirt and dancing along to the show from a suite.
The two singers have a long history together, dating back to their early days on Barney & Friends in 2002. And while their friendship has had its ups and downs over the years, they appear to be back in the groove together. And they’re not alone. At Lovato’s first headlining tour in three years, not only did she perform the live debut of her upcoming (April 17) single, “Low Rise Jeans,” but she also hosted a surprise guest appearance by another Disney Channel pal, Camp Rock co-star Joe Jonas, who popped out for versions of “This Is Me” and “On the Line.”
Lovato reposted Gomez’s praise-filled post on her own Story, including the snap of them together with the caption, “[welled-eyes emoji] thank you so much for coming !!! loved seeing you [white heart emoji].” She also reshared the footage of Gomez dancing and included a TikTok clip of her mouthing the famous Kim Kardashian “okay guys we’re back, did you miss us, cuz we missed you?” meme alongside Jonas. She added a snippet of her sensual live debut of “Low Rise Jeans,” in which a dancer could not keep his hands off her body.
Gomez wasn’t the only one who gushed about the show. Lovato also reposted a comment from her husband, musician Jordan “Jutes Lutes, who wrote, “no words for what I felt tonight watching you put on the best show I’ve ever seen. you are one of the ALL TIME greats. I will forever be in awe of you and I will never EVER shut up about it I love us so much @ddlovato.”
Lovato’s 23-date tour in support of her ninth album of the same name will next hit the Capital One Arena in Washington D.C. on Thursday (April 16) and keep the singer on the road through a planned May 25 show at the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas.
