Demi Lovato? She's had a bunch of hit singles over the past couple years. I would say she has transitioned into a decent pop career. "Cool for the Summer" is her most recent bop. She has a much better voice than her top 40 hits imply.
Iggy however, is not doing so hot these days. Yikes.

So what caused her decline? It was so quick I don't remember.

Well, she tried to sell an arena tour off of one album, and bombed. Meanwhile, rap artists started calling her out for appropriation. Then her collab with Britney tanked and she talked shit about Britney and refused to promote the song. Then she had some surgery and now she doesn't really look like herself. So, it was kind of the perfect storm.

I kind of feel like a hot pop star can weather accusations of cultural appropriation and racial insensitivity with not too much worry. She was appealing to an audience that doesn't really give a bleep about stuff like that. There were tons of people who did feel this way, but they were most ignored by media/tastemakers. IMO, what did her in was her personality. Over and over and over again she proved that she was an entitled, out-of-touch bonehead. Her management had to convince her to leave social media because of the petty feuds she'd involve herself in. I think the nail in the coffin of her career was that Spittles McGee video that went viral, though. eta (sorry )

Yeah, I get what you're saying. She has basically been a mess from top to bottom for the last year or so, so it's impossible to say this is the ONE thing or the BIGGEST thing that wrecked her career. Just from my perspective, there was a ton of stuff that people pretty much ignored when they felt like she was the hot new thing. Then when the tide completely turned, they piled all of the stuff that they'd been ignoring on top of it.

I just tried to watch her Fancy video and got about a minute in before I bailed. It's boring and bad. I'm guessing she's hitting the inevitable backlash of not having the talent to back up her mouth.

Anybody remember when she performed "Fancy" on Dancing with the Stars? She couldn't hear very well through her earpiece so she stopped in the middle of a live show and said, as if it were a rehearsal, "There's something wrong with my ear!" Then she looked around confusedly as if waiting for someone to put a stop to the choreographed dance routine that was going on and fix her earpiece. Finally, one of the pro dancers very smoothly went up to her and reminded her that it was a live show and she needed to continue. What a dumbass.
