'Will & Grace' Cast Sing Demi Lovato's 'Sorry Not Sorry' To Celebrate Her First Episode Airing

Demi Lovato‘s Jenny meets Karen Walker and Will Truman in this still from her Will & Grace debut, which aired last night (January 9)!

To celebrate the 27-year-old’s first guest star appearance, the cast – Eric McCormack, Debra Messing, Megan Mullally and Sean Hayes – sang her hit song “Sorry Not Sorry”.

“We’re a little excited about @ddlovato joining #WillAndGrace, can you tell?” the show’s Instagram account shared.

In the mid-season premiere, Will goes to meet a potential surrogate, and it’s Demi‘s character Jenny. Will doesn’t seem too impressed by her living situation and judges her messy apartment, and more so, judges her line of work, a cam girl.

When she’s not being a surrogate, in order to pay bills, she hops online and chats with guys on camera.

Demi will appear in multiple episodes, and has even previously shared a photo of her fake baby bump for the show.

If you missed the episode, you can stream it on NBC.com or catch it on Hulu!
