Demi Lovato rang in her 31st birthday with one very special friend — her Poot Lovato meme doppelgänger. OK, so she didn't exactly let Poot out of the basement she's supposedly living in, but she did enjoy a delicious birthday cake that featured the truly iconic and beloved meme as part of her celebrations.
Lovato shared the lineup of cakes they received for their birthday on TikTok, starting with a luxe sparkly silver heart-shaped cake decorated with a “31” and gorgeous silver flowers. “This one is so gorgeous," Lovato shared. “This one is so cute,” they added, zooming in on a chocolate chip cookie cake with rainbow piping and a “Happy birthday Demi” decoration. “And this one is so … POOT.”
Ah yes, Poot Lovato, a meme based on a photograph taken in 2014. Poot first went viral on Tumblr as Lovato's sister who was locked in a basement and well, you just had to be there. While Lovato occasionally bristled at the meme in the past, she's fully embraced it now, as she couldn't help but laugh at the Poot-embellished cupcakes. Fans loved it too, commenting about the rebirth of Poot. "Happy birthday to you and Poot (pls let her out my god)," wrote one. “PLEASE NOT THE POOT-CAKES,” wrote another.
Lovato now has a fondness for her basement-bound sister. “When Poot went viral, that actually sucked because I thought that was a real picture of me … but Poot was photoshopped,” Lovato recently told Harper's Bazaar. “It was definitely weird when it went viral … it's really funny to look back on.”
This isn't the first time Lovato has shouted out one of her iconic memes. In early 2023, she recreated the “Get a job! Stay away from her!” comments for a Scream VI teaser. Happy birthday, Demi! Hope the Poot-cakes were delicious.
