Pink Slams Ageist Comments on Social Media
With over two decades in the music industry, Pink has remained a force to be reckoned with in the pop world. Despite the passage of time, the 44-year-old singer remains unbothered by critics who've tried to deride her age. When one user on platform X commented, "Pink has grown old," she didn't back down.
"I'm grateful to be getting older," the mother-of-two retorted, referring to her ability to don leotards and perform acrobatic stunts during shows. Pink isn't a stranger to tackling haters on social media, as evidenced by her response to a 2018 tweet that labeled her as "look[ing] so old she should be called Purple." The singer clapped back, "You must be from LA. Well, there are still a few people in the world who choose to age naturally."
Her response also included a comment on her appearance, "I've never heard of you until you put my name in your mouth. I'm going to call you little purple troll." Pink has always maintained that aging is a blessing and that she hopes to look older in ten years, as a sign of living a fulfilling life.
Fierce Advocate
Pink's fiery personality and unwavering spirit are evident in her career and public image. The singer is known for her advocacy on social issues, including LGBTQ+ rights and body positivity. Her music and performances often reflect her love for self-expression and breaking societal norms.
For instance, her song "Dear Mr. President" and her activism against Proposition 8 showcased her commitment to social justice. Pink's ability to remain unbothered by age-related criticism demonstrates not only her resilience but also her refusal to conform to societal expectations.
Uninterrupted Success
In spite of facing criticism, Pink continues to have a successful career. She recently announced an extension of her "Summer Carnival" tour, with 17 additional shows scheduled for North America in 2023. Pink's desire to entertain and share her love for music with fans has remained unwavering, despite facing challenges like age-related criticism.
In conclusion, Pink's response to age-ist comments on social media is a testament to her strength and resilience in the face of adversity. Her continued success in the music industry and her advocacy for social justice further prove that she's not one to be easily swayed by external criticism or societal expectations.
