Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato Rekindle Friendship Over 'Simply Complicated'

The former BFFs had the sweetest exchange ever - then re-followed each other on Insta...

Thursday, October 19, 2017 - 10:09

Demi Lovato's documentary is the gift that keeps giving.

The beautifully and brutally honest film shows a woman and artist in her prime, taking ownership of her past and proudly overcoming her personal demons to be the most incredible version of herself, and it's resonating with a lot of people around the world - including former best friend Selena Gomez.

Their famously on-off friendship has been rekindled after Gomez praised the film, telling Demi "This was beautiful. I'm so happy for you."

Payback is a bad bitch
And baby, I'm the baddest, I'm the baddest, I'm the baddest
Go

Now I'm out here looking like revenge
Feelin' like a ten, the best I've ever been
And yeah, I know how bad it must hurt to see me like this
But it gets worse (wait a minute)
Now you're out here looking like regret
Ain't too proud to beg, second chance you'll never get
And yeah, I know how bad it must hurt to see me like this
But it gets worse (wait a minute)

Now payback is a bad bitch
And baby, I'm the baddest
You fuckin' with a savage
Can't have this, can't have this (ah)
And it'd be nice of me to take it easy on ya, but nah

Baby, I'm sorry (I'm not sorry)
Baby, I'm sorry (I'm not sorry)
Being so bad got me feelin' so good
Showing you up like I knew that I would
Baby, I'm sorry (I'm not sorry)
Baby, I'm sorry (I'm not sorry)
Feeling inspired 'cause the tables have turned
Yeah, I'm on fire and I know that it burns

Baby, fineness is the way to kill
Tell me how it feel, bet it's such a bitter pill
And yeah I know, you thought you had bigger and better things
Bet right now this stings (wait a minute)
'Cause the grass is greener under me
Brightest technicolor, I can tell that you can see
And yeah I know, how bad it must hurt to see me like this
But it gets worse (wait a minute)

Now payback is a bad bitch
And baby, I'm the baddest
You fuckin' with a savage
Can't have this, can't have this (ah)
And it'd be nice of me to take it easy on ya, but nah

Baby, I'm sorry (I'm not sorry)
Baby, I'm sorry (I'm not sorry)
Being so bad got me feelin' so good
Showing you up like I knew that I would
Baby, I'm sorry (I'm not sorry)
Baby, I'm sorry (I'm not sorry)
Feeling inspired 'cause the tables have turned
Yeah, I'm on fire and I know that it burns

Talk that talk, baby
Better walk, better walk that walk, baby
If you talk, if you talk that talk, baby
Better walk, better walk that walk, baby
Oh yeah, talk that talk, baby
Better walk, better walk that walk, baby
If you talk, if you talk that talk, baby
Better walk, better walk that walk, baby

Baby, I'm sorry (I'm not sorry)
Baby, I'm sorry (I'm not sorry)
Being so bad got me feelin' so good
Showing you up like I knew that I would
Baby, I'm sorry (I'm not sorry)
Baby, I'm sorry (I'm not sorry)
Feeling inspired 'cause the tables have turned
Yeah, I'm on fire and I know that it burns

Payback is a bad bitch
And baby, I'm the baddest, I'm the baddest, I'm the baddest

DON'T SCREAM YET - IT GETS EVEN BETTER.

"You always continue to be bold and real," she commented on Demi's Instagram. "I wish more people were like you. Love you."

While thousands - if not millions - of Disney kids hyperventilated at this exchange, Demi replied, saying "Thank you so much, this means the world to me and more. Love you too."

After watching Simply Complicated and seeing the 'Sorry Not Sorry' singer's growth, this full circle moment feels even sweeter.

Demi and Selena first met as kids while working on Barney & Friends and later became the original 'friendship goals' when they ruled Disney together, acting in films like the Princess Protection Program, but life got in the way and they separated.

Now both adults - who follow each other on Instagram again (!!) - we'd love to think they could have an even stronger friendship than before.

If you haven't already watched Demi Lovato: Simply Complicated then, quite simply, what are you waiting for?
