The celebrated singer turned culinary risk-taker, Demi Lovato, recently won hearts with her new cooking venture despite her obvious jitters as she's trying to overcome her fears.

AceShowbiz - Demi Lovato is "okay." After the "Sorry Not Sorry" singer, 32, shared a TikTok video of herself roasting a whole chicken, fans expressed concern over her "shaking" throughout the clip - but she assured them she's fine.
"Today we are making a whole roasted chicken. It seems really overwhelming, but it's not. We're gonna have fun, and I'm telling myself this because I feel overwhelmed," said Lovato with a laugh at the start of the video.
As she began to cook, the Grammy-nominated musician accidentally turned on her stove instead of the oven before telling the camera, "I'm just nervous!" Lovato was a bit grossed out by the raw chicken while removing the insides, and her hands are visibly trembling during many close-up shots throughout the video.
One fan took notice and wrote in the comments section, "I'm afraid of seeing her shaking that hard."
"I'm okay! I promise," Lovato responded in another comment - and considering she was admittedly nervous, it's understandable that she got a little shaky. In the post's caption, she further acknowledged the challenges faced in the video. "On Cooking With Demi we are all about facing our fears," she wrote. "Today we did that by trying out a recipe for a whole roasted chicken."
"It wasn't pretty at times, but it wasn't nearly as overwhelming as I thought it would be and I'm really proud to have this recipe in my back pocket now," she continued.
Speaking to PEOPLE in September 2024, Lovato - who's been quite open in the past about struggles with mental health and substance abuse - got candid about how she's long been "very, very honest" with fans, noting that she's shown "vulnerability throughout [her] life."
"I've shared a lot with people, and I've realized that my experiences don't define me," she said in the interview centered on her "Child Star" documentary, which focused on the highs and lows faced by young people in the entertainment business.
Demi Lovato's bravery in trying something new and allowing herself to be vulnerable on camera is a testament to her ongoing journey of self-acceptance and personal growth. By courageously confronting her fears in the kitchen, she not only created a delicious meal but also served up a hearty dose of inspiration for her fans.
