As we all know, Demi Lovato and Taylor Swift have some serious history that dates back to the mid-2000s. The tension arguably all started when they both dated Joe Jonas, only to later fight for the friendship of Selena Gomez.
Through the years their been jibes from both sides, but Demi has defs been more vocal about her views on Taylor, calling her a ‘faux feminist’ – and more recently – publicly backing Scooter Braun (the dude that bought Taylor’s masters and ‘bullied’ her for years).
So when Demi posted a cryptic message on Instagram as to why she wasn’t attending the VMA’s, naturally the rumour mill began turning – and fast.

“I skipped the VMA’s for a REASON,” the 27-year-old ‘Sorry Not Sorry’ singer wrote on Instagram.
“Well that and I just hate award shows”.
Because the internet is a place for messy b*tches, people began running with the story that Demi skipped the VMA’s because of her longstanding dislike for Taylor.
But us Demi fans know, our girl doesn’t just sit back and let the gossip train run.
Later taking to Instagram, Demi confirmed that the reason she skipped the VMA’s was because she was out filming scenes for TV show Will & Grace, writing that there was “no shade” in her post.
“BTW..I didn’t “shade” anuone last night, My REASON for not going is becuase I’m literally living my dram being on Will & Grace rn so stop reaching thaaaaannnkkkkssss”.
YES GIRL.
Demi even took to social media to share a snap from the iconic set.
“Will & Grace & Demi 💁🏻♀️📺 @nbcwillandgrace #WillandGrace”
Don’t go accusing Demi of shade if you don’t have facts!
