Demi Lovato has come under fire for wasting $19 on the viral Erewhon strawberry from Kyoto, Japan.
The 32-year-old music artist — who recently responded to a concerned fan — took to TikTok to share her honest review of the pricey piece of fruit.
Dressed in a dainty, cream-colored cardigan with her dark hair parted and pulled back, the Texas native, worth an estimated $40million, cradled the small food item in her manicured hands.
‘Apparently, you’re supposed to smell it,’ she narrated before taking a whiff and confirming, ‘Smells like a strawberry.’
The songstress took a big bite before rating it an 8 out of 10. ‘It’s not tart at all, which I like; I don’t like tart strawberries. But it’s not that sweet,’ she reported before shrugging, ‘Oh, well! Just wasted $20.’
One follower named Mya wrote in the comments, ‘This level of capitalism is actually sick,’ racking up more than 145,000 likes.

‘”I wasted $20″ — this is the most honest review yet, to be honest,’ a viewer noted, crediting Lovato for her transparency.
