In April 2017, Lovato played the voice of Smurfette in the Sony animated film, ‘Smurfs: The Lost Village.’ Additionally, beyond the stage and the screen, in 2013, her book Staying Strong: 365 Days a Year, became a New York Times best-seller, and in 2014 she became a global ambassador for Sketchers.
