Demi Lovato has opened up about updating her pronouns back to she/her.
The Cool For The Summer singer confirmed that she had changed her pronouns to they/them last May in a lengthy Instagram post.
At the time, the 29-year-old explained that she identifies as non-binary, and that she is ‘still learning and coming into myself’.
The former X Factor judge has since rewritten her Instagram bio to now read: ‘They/them/she/her.’
During an interview on the Spout podcast, she spoke of her decision to adopt she/her again.
‘I’ve actually adopted the pronouns of she/her again,’ she told the host. ‘So for me, I’m such a fluid person that I don’t find that I am… I felt like, especially last year, my energy was balanced, my masculine and feminine energy.

‘So that when I was faced with the choice of walking into a bathroom and it said women and men, I didn’t feel like there was a bathroom for me because I didn’t feel necessarily like a woman, I didn’t feel like a man. I just felt like a human.
‘That’s what they/them is about. For me, it’s just about like feeling human at your core.’
‘Recently I’ve been feeling more feminine, and so I’ve adopted she/her again,’ she added.

‘But I think what’s important is nobody’s perfect. Everyone messes up pronouns at some point, and especially when people are learning.
‘It’s just all about respect.’
Demi previously spoke of being non-binary after initially changing her pronouns last year, and explained that she often gets confused over certain terms.
The Confident star said on the Today show: ‘The way that I explain being non-binary to people, or gender non-conforming, is for me personally, I can’t speak to everyone in their experience, when I came to the realization that I am equally as masculine as I am feminine.
‘My masculine and feminine energy are equal, so much so that I may be wearing a dress and heels right now, but I don’t identify as just a woman, or just a man, and I identify as both.’

The Disney favorite also assured the hosts that she has ‘a lot of grace’ when it comes to everyday people misgendering her, and understands there will be mix ups.
Demi concluded: ‘I still mess up sometimes and say, “Oh, I can’t wait to be an aunt one day,” and I’m like, “Wait, what word do I use?” I think for that one we’re going to use “aunkle.”’
