Demi Lovato was recently joined by an unexpected guest on her “Holy Fvck” tour. In a rare appearance, Ashlee Simpson returned to the stage at Lovato’s concert in Los Angeles on Sept. 28. While performing “La La Land” from their debut album, Lovato suddenly interrupted the song, shouting, “Please give it up for Ashlee Simpson!” As Simpson ran onstage, the music quickly turned to the actor-singer’s “La La,” a fan-favorite single from the early years.
Simpson, who hasn’t performed much since her “Saturday Night Live” lip-syncing controversy in 2004, sang the first line of the chorus, before Lovato joined her for the rest of the song. Prior to the concert, the “Pieces of Me” singer had tweeted, “LA! I have a surprise for you tonight! 🙃🤔❤️” Lovato has long been a fan of the nostalgic singer’s music – they even sang a cover of Simpson’s “La La” on tour in August, which Simpson actually shared on her Instagram afterwards. “Love this performance @ddlovato! Can’t wait to see you on tour!” she wrote at the time, though fans couldn’t have predicted how serious she was.
Earlier this month, Lovato sadly announced that the “Holy Fvck” tour would be her last. In an Instagram Story, the “29” singer said she was “so sick” she couldn’t get out of bed and “[couldn’t] don’t do that again.” The 31-show tour, which includes stops in Canada, Brazil and the United States, is set to wrap November 6.
Ahead, watch Simpson and Lovato sing their hearts out on an iconic hit.
