In an exclusive clip obtained by TMZ, David Archuleta’s mother, Lupe Bartholomew, experiences a wave of emotions as she watches the music video for his latest song, “Hell Together,” a track deeply inspired by her.
The video captures Lupe’s heartfelt reaction as she views scenes featuring home video footage she helped select, along with poignant imagery of David singing in a church surrounded by angelic dancers. As the lyrics touch on themes of companionship and connection, Lupe becomes visibly moved, especially knowing that some of the sentiments were drawn from personal texts she shared with David.
At the video’s conclusion, Lupe expresses her admiration for the beautiful visuals and shares a touching moment with her son, embracing him warmly. David explains that his mother’s influence was profound in shaping the song’s narrative, underscoring the deep bond between them.
This heartfelt exchange comes amidst a journey of reconciliation for the Archuleta family, as David recently revealed his queer identity, initially fearing a strained relationship with his mother due to her strong Mormon beliefs. However, this tender moment signifies a renewed closeness and mutual understanding between them, making the music video all the more poignant for Lupe, the woman who inspired it.
