Lovato later appeared on stage to accept the Acuvue Inspire Award for her courageous decision to pull out of a concert tour last year to enter rehab for abuse issues.

In accepting the award presented to her by Charice and Teen Wolf actor Tyler Posey, Lovato told the audience: “I couldn’t have made it through the incredible journey that I went through without your help and your strength that got me through it... You guys are what got me through this last year.  I love you so much. Love is louder. I love you guys so much. Thank you for much.”
