“Confident” singer Demi Lovato has reasons to be sure of herself.
After belting the National Anthem at the Mayweather-McGregor megamatch on Saturday and “Sorry Not Sorry” at the MTV’s VMAs on Sunday, the pop star earned her Brazilian jiu-jitsu blue belt, the second of seven levels.
And she did it in just a year, about half the time it typically takes.
“I’ m so beyond excited because I just received my blue belt in #brazilianjiujitsu!!!! I fell in love with #BJJ over a year ago and have been training several times a week ever since, ” Lovato, 25, posted on Instagram.

The “Cool for the Summer” singer, who’s been outspoken about her share of personal troubles, wasn’ t the only one who was stoked about the achievement.
Jay Glazer, who runs Unbreakable Performance Center in Los Angeles, where Lovato trains, shared her excitement.
“I’ m more proud of the work @ddlovato puts in with nobody watching than I am what she does with the world watching. Congrats on achieving your blue belt today in #bjj, YOU put the grind in!” Glazer wrote.
Lovato’s dedicated training for the combat sport was under the radar, but she’s made no secret of being deep “into mixed martial arts. I’ m doing jiu-jitsu and I’ m kind of in love with it, ” she told “Extra” earlier this year.
