Pink: She defends herself against age discrimination

“Pink has gotten old”: Singer Pink (44) responded to this sentence from a Twitter user and made it clear that she would not allow herself to be insulted because of her age. On the contrary, she is “grateful” to be getting older.

Growing older as a blessing

A few days ago, the singer announced that she was extending her “Summer Carnival” tour and would be playing 17 more shows across North America next summer and fall. The mother of two likes to appear on stage in skimpy outfits – like many pop stars.

She didn’t want to just leave it alone when a Twitter user made a derogatory comment on her appearance after the tour news. “Yes, even though I don’t feel old and still get to wear leotards to work, getting older is actually my first ‘gratitude’ every day,” she replied on X (formerly Twitter), referring to the skin-tight bodysuits in to whom she performs aerial acrobatics for her fans. The singer continued: “What a blessing to have years. To be so strong, to be able to still piss off complete strangers just by existing.”

Already in 2018 she defended herself against an age comment

This isn’t the first time the “Trustfall” singer has called out social media haters. In 2018, someone tweeted that pink looked “so old it should be called purple instead.”

saying, “You must be from LA. Well, there are still a few people in the world who choose to age naturally.” She also deserved “every damn minute” of her life. “But what do you look like?” she asked. “Because I never heard of you until you put my name in your mouth. I’ll call you little purple troll.”

She then made it clear in another tweet: “I believe that growing old is a blessing – if your face has wrinkles around your eyes and mouth, it means you have laughed a lot.” She prays to look older in 10 years, “because that means I’m alive,” Pink said.
