Demi Lovato says Neon Lights tour is about "girl empowerment"

Demi Lovato believes her upcoming North American tour will showcase the strength of female singers.

The 'Skyscraper' star recently announced plans to tour the continent on her Neon Lights jaunt in February and March.

Support will come from Fifth Harmony, Cher Lloyd and Little Mix - and Lovato told Billboard that the tour has almost become a 'girl power' event. She said:

"It's girl empowerment. I helped put together Fifth Harmony, and a year later they're on the charts, so I'm really happy for them."

The X Factor USA judge added: "It's surreal. Everyone is a power vocalist - they can all sing - so I love the idea of the show. I want it to be a big party, but I don't want to exclude any demographics by making it all pop hits.

"I'm in the process of figuring it out, and because I play instruments, it comes easier than if I didn't. If I do it right, I'll get in all the hits and the songs that I'm most proud of that represent my style - 'Heart Attack' and 'In Case', which is just me and a piano. That's the message I want people to hear, that there's more than catchy songs released as singles. The album [tracks] should get more attention."
