"Poot originated a decade ago in 2015, when a Photoshopped image of Lovato was posted on Tumblr, with a fictional backstory claiming that the woman in the photo was actually Lovato's twin sister. "She was locked in a basement her whole life. This picture was taken the first time she went outside. Her name is Poot," the former account wrote. From there, the meme took off, with Tumblr users adding to the backstory in subsequent posts and creating Poot fanfiction."
"Now, Lovato made Poot a reality for Halloween, coinciding with the 10th anniversary of the meme. Along with side-by-side photos of her costume and the OG Poot, she fully played into the lore by sharing videos of her trying to leave her garage and giving a tour of her "home," filled with almost no necessities, set to the tune of Sabrina Carpenter's "House Tour.""
Demi Lovato transformed into the decade-old Tumblr meme Poot for Halloween, recreating the character with extensive makeup, prosthetics, and layered hair extensions. The costume coincided with the meme's 10th anniversary and included side-by-side photos of the original image and Lovato's recreation. Lovato shared videos of trying to leave her garage and a mock "home" tour set to Sabrina Carpenter's "House Tour." Fans created Poot backstory and fanfiction after the 2015 Photoshopped image claimed Poot was Lovato's twin who had been locked in a basement. Celebrities praised the costume and Lovato has since embraced the meme despite earlier discomfort.
