On the red carpet of the MTV Video Music Awards Sunday night, Naya Rivera confirmed that Lovato will recur on Glee Season 5, providing new information on the singer's upcoming role.

“She’s playing my [character Santana’s] love interest so I’m very, very excited about that," Rivera told reporters, adding that she will sing at least one track with Lovato and joking that "we're bringing her to the dark side".

Demi is expected to film Glee episodes in between judging responsibilities on The X Factor, with earlier reports stating she will portray a struggling artist in New York City who also croons a duet with Adam Lambert.

Cast members on that series, of course, continue to struggle with the death of Cory Monteith.
