Demi Lovato and the cast of Glee are both set to return to the GLAAD Awards for the upcoming April 8th ceremony.
Glee stars will reunite to honor the late Naya Rivera and her character Santana Lopez with a special tribute, with an introduction from Demi, who played Naya‘s love interest in season five.
According to GLAAD, the tribute will honor the ten-year anniversary of Santana’s coming out as lesbian in the GLAAD Media Award-winning series and spotlight the character’s impact on LGBTQ teens and Latinx LGBTQ representation on television.
Glee cast members set to appear include Jacob Artist, Chris Colfer, Darren Criss, Vanessa Lengies, Jane Lynch, Kevin McHale, Heather Morris, Matthew Morrison, Alex Newell, Amber Riley, Harry Shum Jr., Becca Tobin, and Jenna Ushkowitz.
“I’m honored to be joining my GLEE co-stars at the #GLAADawards to pay tribute to LGBTQ teens and honor the legacy and impact of Naya Rivera and her character Santana Lopez. April 8 on @hulu and @YouTube @GLAAD,” Darren shared on Twitter.
Also set to separately appear at the 2021 GLAAD Awards is Matt Bomer, who was a guest star on Glee.
Back in 2016, Demi received the GLAAD’s Vanguard Award, while Glee has picked up two GLAAD Awards for Outstanding Comedy Series in 2010 and 2011.
The 2021 GLAAD Awards will take place on April 8th, premiering exclusively on GLAAD’s YouTube page starting at 8pm ET/PT. It will also start streaming on Hulu starting at 10pm ET/PT that night, and be available to stream on-demand on Hulu until the end of June.
Naya Rivera didn’t get her start there, but she sure rose to a household name during her time on Glee.
The late actress starred in all six seasons of the musical series as Santana Lopez, the cheerleader turned Gleek who dated Heather Morris‘ Brittany S Pierce.
During her time on the show, Naya took part in over 60 musical numbers, and even had her own solo numbers.
20th Century Fox TV, the studio behind Glee, shared their condolences on the heartbreaking loss of the star.
“Naya was a fierce talent with so much more to do and this is such a terrible tragedy. We are forever grateful for the indelible contribution she made to GLEE, from the first episode to the last. Our hearts are broken and our thoughts go out to her family, friends and young son,” they wrote on Twitter.

Naya Rivera has been missing since Wednesday afternoon (July 8) after a boating trip with her son Josey.
The former Glee star went out to Lake Piru in California and rented a boat with her boy, but hasn’t been seen since.
Four-year-old Josey was found on their boat by himself on the lake and the search for Naya began. As of Thursday morning (July 9), authorities said the search and rescue mission has turned into a search and recovery mission, as she is presumed to be dead.
Many of Naya‘s former Glee co-stars have taken to social media throughout the night and next day asking for prayers for her safety and that she is found alive.
“love and hug on the people you can, while you can. I love you. Everyone please send out your prayers,” Chord Overstreet wrote on Twitter.
Demi Lovato, who played a love interest for Naya, wrote on her Instagram story, “Please pray for @nayarivera to be found safe and sound.”
Heather Morris, who played Brittany S. Pierce, also wrote on her Instagram story, “We need all the prayers we can get to bring our Naya back home to us. We need your love and light.”
