Demi Lovato thinks Taylor Swift is a good role model: 'I have so much respect for her'

'Give Your Heart A Break' hitmaker Demi Lovato has revealed that she respects country-pop sensation Taylor Swift's songwriting because it's honest and not concerned with popping bottles, senseless hooking up or partying. 

The former Disney starlet told Entertainment Weekly that she's glad to be in good company with Swift because she finds it hard to sing songs about subjects she has little or no personal interest in, so is happy to know that she's not alone in being true to herself where songwriting is concerned:

"I don't really care because those things don’t apply to my life at all. A good example of that is Taylor Swift. We've had conversations about this where I'm like, 'I have so much respect for you as an artistbecause you don’t have to write about that stuff.'"

"She's like, 'Well, I don’t go out.' I don’t go out to clubs and I don’t party and to me, it says more when you don’t have to do things for shock value. You're more respected as an artist. And that’s what I want to be, I want to be respected as an artist and not a tabloid headline."

The 'I Knew You Were Trouble' beauty recently told New York magazine that she will always lay herself bare in her music because it's important to be emotionally vulnerable in that kind of setting:

"I think allowing yourself to feel raw, real emotions in public is something I am never going to be afraid to do. Hopefully that's the case, if I can remain a real human. I'm fine with being honest with my fans about the fact that it's okay that everything isn't okay all the time."
