People on Reddit echoed the sentiments and are laughing at the said song choice.
"Singing 'if I ever did that I think I'ld have a heart attack' to heart attack survivors is crazyyy," a user pointed out.
"she clearly has good intentions for a lot of her scandals but howwwww did no one tell her this was a terrible idea," another said.
"You know what, this gives the vibe of the instagram stories of her petting a turkey and then the next story of one being cooked for thanksgiving, this doesn't surprise me at alllllll," a fan compared.
Others even pointed out that she could have sung her other song, "Give Your Heart A Break" instead. Meanwhile, others defended Demi's choice of song.
"People acting like this is only demis fault. I'm sure the event runners had to approve the setlist or at least do a rehearsal, so they had opportunities to tell her not to perform it. They asked her to perform a greatest hits set, it's one of her biggest hits," one wrote.
