She also posted a backstage photo of the singers together, accompanied by a heart emoji. Fans spotted Gomez in the crowd as well, dancing in a Lovato hoodie.<\/p>\n

Along with Gomez’s attendance, the concert also delivered other Disney-era throwbacks. Lovato\u2019s Camp Rock co-star Joe Jonas made a surprise appearance, joining her on stage to perform fan-favourite hits like This Is Me and On the Line.<\/p>\n

Gomez and Lovato, once known for their close friendship, rose to fame during their Disney days, starring together in 2009’s\u00a0Princess Protection Program. Over the years, however, rumours circulated that the pair had a falling out.\u00a0Much of the speculation dates back to around 2010, when Gomez grew closer to Taylor Swift. At the time, both were rumoured to be dating members of the Jonas Brothers, fuelling rumours of a rift between Gomez and Lovato.<\/p>\n

In later years, both Gomez and Lovato acknowledged that they had drifted apart.<\/p>\n

While some fans speculated that the singers had tension between them, others believe they simply grew apart as their lives evolved, particularly due to Gomez\u2019s health struggles and Lovato\u2019s highly publicised near-fatal overdose and recovery journey.\u00a0The stars were, however, rumoured to have been reaching out to each other during their medical recoveries.<\/p>\n

In 2025, Gomez reflected on her Disney-era friendships during an appearance on the Therapuss\u00a0with Jake Shane podcast, saying she was happy to see her former co-stars\u00a0including Lovato, the Jonas Brothers, and Miley Cyrus, \u201cdo their thing\u201d as adults.<\/p>\n

Lovato also spoke positively about Gomez that same year during an appearance on Andy Cohen’s Watch What Happens Live, saying, \u201cI couldn\u2019t be happier for her. She\u2019s engaged – I just wish her the best.\u201d<\/p>\n
