Dove Cameron has been in the public eye for several years now, rising to fame after playing the dual role in the hit Disney show Liv and Maddie in 2013. Her first relationship in the spotlight was with costar Ryan McCartan, whom she started dating while filming the series.
The two Disney stars made it official when the show launched and also established a band together called The Girl and The Dreamcatcher in 2016. That same year, McCartan proposed to Cameron. Unfortunately, their relationship ended around six months after their engagement.
When Cameron performed a cover of Ashe’s “Moral of the Story” in October and April of 2022, she left fans confused but interested if the song choice was about her past relationship with the actor. During the performance, Cameron reportedly changed the word “pain” from the original song to “engaged.”
Fans then became nostalgic and assumed the lyric change was about Dove’s engagement with McCartan, along with other traumatic and painful experiences she has endured in previous relationships.
