Demi Lovato is feeling "grateful" at the start of 2024.

On Sunday night, Lovato, 31, shared a roundup of 2023 that featured fun videos and selfies with fiancé Jordan "Jutes" Lutes. The compilation was set to the track "What a Year" by Inner Circle and included the words, "What a year this has been. And I just want to say, I am grateful."

"2023 🥹🖤 happy new year!," Lovato — who uses she/they pronouns — wrote in the accompanying Instagram caption. In the video, the singer appeared to be in great spirits while kissing Lutes, dancing with friends and jumping in a pool.

"Best year of my life with u 🥰🥰🥰 I love u so much," Jutes commented on the happy roundup.

Lovato also captured a bike ride, as well as some stylish looks and the moment Jutes, 32, proposed, which took place on Dec. 16.

The two musicians — who met in January 2022 while collaborating on the HOLY FVCK track “Substance” and began dating in August of that year — celebrated their engagement at Craig's, a restaurant in Los Angeles where they were surrounded by family and friends.

Days later, the couple spent Christmas together for the first time. Lovato recently told PEOPLE that last year Jutes flew home to his native Ottawa for the holiday, making this year extra special.

"This year is our first Christmas together," the star revealed. “His mom's going to join us, so I'm excited for that."

Beyond their engagement, this holiday season was also exciting for the “Cool For the Summer” singer, as is marked the release of A Very Demi Holiday Special, on The Roku Channel. 

For the hour-long special, the singer-songwriter enlisted a handful of famous friends to partake in seasonal activities, including singer JoJo, model/entrepreneur Hailey Baldwin Bieber, reality star Paris Hilton, drag star Trixie Mattel and comedian Tiffany Haddish

Before the project hit streaming on Dec. 8, Lovato opened up to PEOPLE about why the special was “really hard to pass up."

“I love the holidays. They're so fun, and they mean a lot to me, so I had to say 'yes,’” Lovato said.
