Demi Lovato goes punk rock with new shag haircut

Demi Lovato looks more “Confident” than ever.

The musician, who uses she/they pronouns, is gearing up to release their new song, “Substance,” on July 15, and teased the track with a punk-inspired photoshoot on Instagram Tuesday.

In the images, 29-year-old Lovato rocks a fresh shag haircut along with a red leather jacket, patched-up plaid skirt and skeleton-printed T-shirt.

Hairdresser Rena Calhoun was behind the singer’s choppy, wavy mane and curtain bangs, while makeup artist Jill Powell crafted Lovato’s red cat eye and nude lip and “Euphoria” nail artist Natalie Minerva gave them a metallic chrome manicure.

A true beauty chameleon, Lovato often switches up their hair; over the past few years, they’ve tried out a mullet, a buzzcut and even a bubblegum pink pixie cut.

The same day they unveiled their jet-black shag, Lovato performed a clip from “Substance” on TikTok, belting out the track with a super-short ‘do.

“Thought it was kris jenner for a second,” one fan joked, to which the “Cool for the Summer” singer cheekily responded with the Kardashian matriarch’s catchphrase: “You’re doing amazing, sweetie.” 

The “Camp Rock” actor has said chopping their locks makes them feel “free,” telling Ellen DeGeneres in 2021, “I feel more authentic to who I am and I also feel like I used to hide behind my hair.”
