Demi Lovato Reunites With Jonas Brothers for 20th Anniversary Tour Kickoff at MetLife Stadium
Demi Lovato joined the Jonas Brothers on stage for their kickoff show marking the band’s 20th anniversary tour, performing at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. The pair delivered the Disney-era hits This Is Me and Wouldn’t Change a Thing, the first time Lovato has shared the stage with the brothers in more than a decade.
Lovato revealed in a recent appearance on the Chicks in the Office podcast that Joe Jonas reached out last week with an invitation for a surprise guest slot. He asked, “What are you doing next weekend on the 10th? We would love to have you come and perform This Is Me and Wouldn’t Change a Thing.” Lovato said it felt meaningful and healing to reconnect with the JoBros, noting how much they’ve all supported and influenced each other over the years.
Before the performance, Joe, Nick and Kevin Jonas stopped by Lovato’s dressing room to spend time with her husband, musician Jordan Lutes, which Lovato called a meaningful moment. She added that the brothers’ thanks for traveling to be part of the show were deeply touching and therapeutic for her and the group.
For Lovato, joining the JoBros was an easy decision. “It was an instant like, ‘Let’s do this,’” she explained, tying the appearance to her current artistic direction that nods to nostalgia while charting a new path. The moment fit with her broader public reinvention, which has embraced a dance-pop sound as she prepares for new music.
Lovato is eyeing a new era with a forthcoming track titled “Fast” and a ninth studio album that, according to Rolling Stone, is in the final stages and expected later this year.
What this means for fans is a bridge between Lovato’s iconic Disney soundtrack roots and her evolving pop identity, with a celebration of a musical milestone for the Jonas Brothers as well. The reunion on the 20th anniversary launch adds a personal, healing dimension to the tour and offers a glimpse of Lovato’s ongoing collaboration with old friends as she rolls out new music.
Additional note: This collaboration underscores how artists can revisit meaningful chapters of their careers while pushing into fresh creative directions, renewing connections with longtime fans and attracting new listeners who followed them through different eras. Lovato’s return to the stage beside the JoBros is being received as a positive, uplifting moment in pop music storytelling.
