Demi Lovato Revives 'Poot' Meme, Includes Video Cameo

Demi Lovato revived the decade-old 2015 “Poot Lovato” Tumblr meme for Halloween 2025, posting a spot-on recreation of the washed-out photo as an Instagram carousel and several TikToks. She used pale makeup, a combover/bald-cap look and staged skits — including a garage “escape” and a tongue-in-cheek house tour that featured bubble wrap and a water heater — and shared behind-the-scenes footage of her glam team. Lovato tied the gag to the one-week mark of her ninth album, It's Not That Deep, and captioned the posts accordingly; she has said she initially felt some discomfort about the joke but has since embraced it. Fans and fellow celebrities reacted enthusiastically, with comments from stars like Katy Perry, Charli XCX and Kehlani, and her husband Jordan “Jutes” Lutes praised the look. She also briefly slipped the Poot character into her Fast music video, and major outlets framed the tribute as part of a nostalgia-driven, highly produced promotional rollout of celebrity Halloween moments.
