Sometimes the best moments happen out of nowhere. That is exactly what went down when Joanna “JoJo” Levesque popped up onstage with Demi Lovato in New York City. Fans did not see it coming, but they were definitely here for it.
JoJo later shared how the whole thing came together, and it turns out it was pretty simple. Just two longtime friends making a quick plan.
From Childhood Friends to Stage Partners
The two stars go way back. “We've known each other since we were kids. So she hit me up,” Levesque told PEOPLE while attending the opening night of The Lost Boys on Broadway on April 26.
Their friendship is not just personal. It is musical too.
“And we've actually — we have a song together on one of my old albums. It's called 'Lonely Hearts' and we've done Christmas stuff together. So, you know, we're always like, 'Anything you need, just let me know.' And she's like, 'Are you in New York?' And I'm like, "I moved here, girl,'" she added with a laugh. (Levesque will be back on Broadway in June as she steps into the role of Florence Vassy in Chess.)
A Duet Fans Loved
During the concert, the pair performed JoJo’s hit “Too Little Too Late” together. The crowd loved it, and videos quickly spread online. Fans called them “powerhouse vocalists,” and it is easy to see why.
For JoJo, sharing the moment made it even better.
“It was so fun,” she said.
“I mean, I don't get to sing any of my big songs with people because they're not typically duets, but I have even more fun singing them with other people because they were a part of our childhoods,” she explained. “And so I see the excitement, you know, in people's eyes when they're like, ‘I grew up singing the song,' and I'm like, ‘Me too.' You know? It's a nice moment.”
Keeping the Celebration Going
JoJo did not let the moment end onstage. She shared a playful video on Instagram the next day, showing her and Lovato singing along to their song “Lonely Hearts.”
"Justice for Lonely Hearts … how I loved sharing the stage with you @thegarden - u be SINGIN @ddlovato !!!" she captioned the video.
"For those who haven't heard it… Demi and I have a duet… 2020 was a wild timeeeee -it's called #LonelyHearts and it lives on the deluxe version of my Good to Know album ayeeeee," she added.
For fans, it was more than just a surprise performance. It was a reminder that some friendships and songs never go out of style.
