The former Disney star wrote on the social media site: “So excited for 2017. Taking a break from music and the spotlight.. I am not meant for this business and the media.” Demi then explained her decision further in response to a tweet from a fan, writing: “Dunno. It doesn’t feel worth it anymore. I’d rather do charity work tbh.”

The announcement came just hours after the release of an interview in which she slammed Taylor Swift and her squad for ‘tearing down’ Katy Perry. She told Glamour Magazine “I think that having a song and a video about tearing Katy Perry down, that’s not women’s empowerment.”

The ‘Confident’ singer also claimed that Taylor Swift only used women with perfect bodies in her ‘Bad Blood’ video which includes Cara Delevingne, Ellie Goulding, Gigi Hadid and Karlie Kloss, in an interview with Yahoo!. Afterwards, she tweeted: “I get asked questions. I answer them. Sue me. Also don’t forget that words can be taken out of context when doing interviews.. still not apologising for saying what everyone wants to say”.

Demi is currently on tour with Nick Jonas, on the Future Now tour, and is touring the likes of the Americas and Asia.

Demi and Nick have three concerts in Mexico later this month, and will then perform in São Paulo and on a Caribbean cruise in December. The duo will finish up their tour at the beginning of February with a performance in Dubai.
