Demi Lovato took Danica Roem, the first openly transgender state legislator, to the AMAs

Demi Lovato brought a special guest who’s making empowering changes in politics to last night’s 2017 American Music Awards.

The “Sorry Not Sorry” singer brought Danica Roem, the first openly transgender state legislator as her guest.

She wanted to celebrate Roem’s historic win with an invitation to the annual event. The Virginia Democrat defeated Republican Robert Marshall earlier this month.

Such an honor to have Danica Roem who will be the first out and seated transgender state legislator in U.S. history by my side tonight at the AMAs. Danica put up with a lot of hate and bullshit by people who said she couldn’t win but she did. Her story is so inspiring and I was so proud to have her next to me before the performance for #sorrynotsorry which is an unapologetic anthem to all haters out there. Danica, you are an inspiration to so many and I can’t wait see all the amazing things you do! 🙌🏻❤️🏳️‍🌈
