For the record, contrary to previous reports, Demi Lovato is not dating Niall Horan . He’s an “awesome, sweet guy,” the singer tells the latest issue of Teen Vogue , but she isn’t in a place where she wants to be dating anyone right now. “I need to not be in a relationship for a while because I need to be okay with being alone first,” Lovato says. “I’m really happy right now. I never thought it was possible to be happy because of how depressed I was my entire life. But I feel so incredible. It’s like I’m living in a dream.” We’re so happy to hear that! Elsewhere in the interview, Lovato discusses The X Factor and the importance of her friends. A couple excerpts: On serving as a mentor : “There’s so much more to it than just being a talented singer. I’m going to help them mentally prepare for everything that’s coming… The second I became more centered and aware of who I am, my performances got better, and I was better able to relate to people. On the personal affecting the professional : “For a long time, I was pretending to be someone that I wasn’t, and I was miserable. When I came out and said, ‘I’m human, I’ve got problems, but I’m willing to share them,’ that’s when I started to really connect. I’ve just begun working on my fourth album, and I want to do that in my music too. I’m tired of songs that don’t have much emotion in them.” On her loved ones : “I’m consistently busy, but I make sure I spend a lot of time with my friends and family. I did kind of a friend cleanse right after rehab, where I weeded out people who didn’t have my best interests at heart. Now I have friends who love me for who I am and don’t care about what I’m doing. Most of them aren’t in the industry. Some of them don’t even know my songs!”
