The Body-Positive Lesson Demi Lovato Learned From the Kardashians

The next time you admire Demi Lovato's body confidence, know that Kim Kardashian deserves some of the credit.

She tells Ellen: "When the Kardashians came on the scene, that was the first time that I really associated curves with beauty, and it was just so new to me. I remember thinking, 'Wow, that's so cool,' and even in a time when I was struggling with food, I was able to look at Kim's curves and be like, 'I should really be proud of my curves.'"
