Lovato and Braun connected about a year after her near-fatal overdose in 2018. “Dreams came true for me. I officially have a NEW MANAGER. And not just any manager but the one and only Scooter Braun. Couldn’t be happier, inspired and excited to begin this next chapter. Thank you for believing in me and for being a part of this new journey,” Lovato announced via Instagram in 2019.

In 2021, the Disney Channel alum opened up about the overdose in her docuseries Demi Lovato: Dancing with the Devil, which featured an interview with Braun, who said he initially wasn’t set on working with her. “We had a plan for not only how we were going to say no but who we were going to recommend,” he recalled during the YouTube Originals documentary. He added that after the two met, he was able to come up with a plan of action.

“She didn’t need a manager, she needed a friend. She needed someone who knew what to do but didn’t need her to work,” Braun added.

I can’t wait for everyone to hear more!”
