She also re-recorded some of her most popular hits as rock songs for her new album, Revamped, which drops on Friday. Middle school me can't wait!

While plenty of people tweeted about how awesome Demi's performance was, many fans focused on Taylor Swift having a blast in the audience.

As context for anyone who wasn't a teen in the 2010s, here's why Taylor having fun is a big deal:

Demi and Selena Gomez grew up together after meeting on Barney when they were 7 years old. They went on to become huge Disney Channel stars with their own TV shows and movies.

They became friends with Taylor, and rumors of a feud between Demi and Taylor began.

I won't get into all the details because this was like a decade ago, and everyone's grown up since then. But suffice to say there were many Instagram comments, interview moments, unfollows, and even music videos that pointed to Selena remaining besties with Taylor while Demi let those friendships go.

So! After all these years of the alleged feud, fans were stoked to see Taylor getting down to Demi's music:

And when some folks implied there was drama between Selena and Taylor, others jumped in to squash that:

Fake ???? Why cuz shes having fun to demi lovato songs ????? You realize demi and taylor have a long history of being actual friends. If Selena and miley can make up and be friends, so can demi lovato and taylor swift https://t.co/2yJT9N0E8E

We all know these alleged feuds usually focus on famous women for some reason (*cough* misogyny *cough*). So, it's really lovely and refreshing that the online conversation this time is about Taylor supporting Demi! Cheers to a new norm in pop culture!
