'Really Don't Care' sensation Demi Lovato has revealed that she's glad there has been a shift in beauty standards over the past few years because growing up thinking that 'skinny and frail' was considered typically beautiful was poisonous. 

The songstress told E! News that the pressure to be thin when she was younger was suffocating and she looked at being skinny as something that was seen as desirable to other people:

"For so long it was the very skinny, frail model look, and that's what I grew up looking at. For me, I thought that's what you had to look like, so growing up thinking that and then seeing women like [Kim Kardashian] and Beyoncé."

"I mean, Kim, say what you want about her, but she's a very successful woman and she really kind of revolutionised what beauty was when she came on the scene. For me, I'm embracing that, and I want younger women to see that you don't have to be something that you're not."
