As the race tightens, Hillary Clinton turned to a 23-year-old pop star for a little boost of confidence.

Demi Lovato joined the Democratic presidential candidate for a large campaign rally in Iowa City tonight where she sang four songs, beginning with her hit single “Confident" -- a song title that holds a bit more meaning as Clinton braces for a potential upset in the primary race.

But tonight there was little talk of poll numbers among the 1,700 people -- predominately students -- who braced the cold to catch the show.

"I don’t think there is a woman more confident than Hillary Clinton,” Lovato told the cheering crowd inside an auditorium at the University of Iowa. "I am voting for her because of her beliefs, her strength and the fact that she completely embodies the concept of women empowerment.”

Embracing Lovato as she took the stage, Clinton expressed mutual admiration for the young singer, who she thanked for “talking about issues that people sometimes find hard to talk about.” Lovato has struggled publicly with mental health issues, a topic Clinton often talks about on the campaign trail.
