Demi Lovato wants to clarify a few things.

Earlier this week, the singer caught a lot of flak after she seemingly called out Taylor Swift on Twitter for donating $250,000 to Kesha to help with her legal woes.

"Take something to Capitol Hill or actually speak up about something, then I'll be impressed," Lovato tweeted, causing Swifties everywhere to go on the offensive.

Lovato, 23, didn't name names, but she tweeted just after Kesha's mom, Pebe Sebert, shared the news of Swift's donation and after she herself penned a Twitter essay on female empowerment.

As it turns out, the "Heart Attack" singer wasn't trying to throw shade -- she just got "fired up."

In a new Instagram post -- an infographic showing the ratio of unreported rapists to reported rapists to jailed rapists -- the "Confident" singer tried to clear the air.

"As most people know, I tend to get fired up about the things I believe in," she wrote in the caption, adding, "and although my heart and intentions are always in the right place, unfortunately sometimes my passion gets the best of me and causes me to say things that I probably shouldn't say."

Lovato added, "Everyone has their own way of giving support to others, and at the end of the day, helping victims is all that matters."

Read her full caption below:

As most people know, I tend to get fired up about the things I believe in, and although my heart and intentions are always in the right place, unfortunately sometimes my passion gets the best of me and causes me to say things that I probably shouldn't say. And when doing so it takes away from the real reason I am speaking up in the first place. Our focus should be on the topic of victims of sexual and physical abuse being afraid to come forward with their stories. They're more likely to face retaliation and harassment than to see justice being served. Especially women. It baffles me that when it comes to serious issues like equality and abuse, too often women are not taken as seriously as men. All I want to see is women coming together and actually making a difference. A real change and shift in society. Everyone has their own way of giving support to others , and at the end of the day, helping victims is all that matters. Ultimately, the message I want people to hear is it's okay to come forward with your abuse and if you do decide to take action, you are not alone.
