The first TikTok video, which the Grammy-nominated singer posted to her Instagram, included her lip-syncing to her previous viral video from April 2021.

In the 2021 video, Lovato said, “I left that yogurt store and didn’t get the yogurt that I wanted.” In the new video, Lovato says the line directly to the camera before cutting to a new clip of her dancing around the storefront with her cup of yogurt.

She posted a second TikTok of her smiling while she’s enjoying her dessert, and the text overlay reads: “‘you look happier’ thanks i finally got the yogurt that i wanted!” She also captioned the video: “you make me happy @The Bigg Chill 🍦🍦🍦.”

Four years ago, Lovato posted a video speaking out against the small frozen yogurt shop, saying she had an "extremely hard" time ordering froyo due to all the sugar-free and "diet foods.”

The Bigg Chill later responded, explaining that some of their items are intended for diabetics, vegans and people with Celiac disease.

The "Skyscraper" singer replied by telling the eatery to "do better" and "find a way to provide an inviting environment for all people with different needs, including eating disorders." Lovato, who has been open about her eating disorders, later apologized for their comments, saying her "message has gotten misconstrued" and "Every time I've made a statement over Instagram or Twitter, I felt like it's gotten lost in translation a little bit.”

Lovato opened up to PEOPLE in 2024 about how she deals with all the noise online. “My relationship with social media has evolved over the years from looking to the internet for validation to not looking at internet comments at all,” Lovato said.

The singer went on to say, “If I happen to see something negative, it doesn't affect me the way that it used to. And I don't know if that's just with age or how many years I've been in the public eye, I just don't let it sit with me the way that it used to. It doesn't hold power over me the way that it used to.”
