Naya Rivera’s death has taken a toll on many of us, especially those she co-starred with on the hit television show Glee. Many fans and stars alike were devastated and rightfully so, she’d come out with song covers that would be immortalized on the show and in playlists all around. One of these people is singer-songwriter Demi Lovato who played her love interest when the character was in her New York arc.
Demi tweeted words of love for the late star, saying it was an honor to play her girlfriend on Glee and that Naya Rivera was an inspiration to not just young Latina women all over the world, but queer girls who had yet to discover and accept themselves.
Read the tweet below:
RIP Naya Rivera. I’ll forever cherish the opportunity to play your girlfriend on Glee. The character you played was groundbreaking for tons of closeted (at the time) queer girls like me, and your ambition and accomplishments were inspiring to Latina women all over the world. pic.twitter.com/oCML03M9Kw
