The announcement was made after Demi slammed Taylor Swift for attacking Katy Perry in her song "Bad Blood". She told Glamour, "I think that having a song and a video about tearing Katy Perry down, that's not women's empowerment. We all do things that aren't, but I have to ask myself, Am I content with calling myself a feminist? Yes, because I speak out."
Demi defended herself on Twitter after receiving backlash. "I get asked questions. I answer them. Sue me," she wrote, "Also don't forget that words can be taken out of context when doing interviews.. still not apologizing for saying what everyone want to say. I don't understand why people care so much about what I say in interviews? Do y'all watch the news? Don't y'all got shit to worry about?"
