Demi Lovato will make sure fans can stay cool for the summer with a performance at this year’s Iowa State Fair.
Lovato, who became a household name as a teen star on Disney Channel in movies like “Camp Rock” and shows such as “Sonny with a Chance,” will make their Grandstand appearance at the Iowa State Fair at 8 p.m. on Aug. 14.
Since those Disney Channel days, Lovato has made a name as a pop star, releasing hits like “Give Your Heart a Break” and “Sorry Not Sorry.” Even as their focus moved to musical performance, however, Lovato has also continued to act on occasion, appearing on TV shows including “Will & Grace” and “Smurfs: The Lost Village.”
