Demi Lovato recently opened up on what happened when they tried to shoot their shot with one of the stars of "Schitt's Creek."
Lovato's guest on "4D with Demi Lovato" was Emily Hampshire, who played Stevie Budd in the Emmy-winning comedy series.
During their conversation, Hampshire asked Lovato if they minded if she talked about how they first met, and then revealed that it was when Lovato slid into her DMs and asked for a date.

"And then you said, 'And by kick it, I mean go on a date'...like, you made it clear it was a date. And I loved that, because sometimes that's confusing."
Hampshire, who's 40, then revealed that she turned down Lovato, who's 29, because of their age difference.
According to Hampshire, Lovato responded, "Think of Sarah Paulson and Holland Taylor," before backtracking and adding, "Uh, I don't mean YOU'RE the Holland Taylor!" Paulson, who's 46, is in a relationship with Taylor, who's 78.
Lovato, who was in hysterics over this story, attempted to explain, "I was like, 'No! No! I just love them together! I really do!'" And then Hampshire added, "I thought it was the funniest thing in the whole world, because I was the Holland Taylor in that situation!"

Lovato admitted that referring to the age difference wasn't their "smoothest move," but added, "A non-binary person can dream. And they, she -- I was a 'she' at the time -- was dreaming big!"
