Pink created an unforgettable and heartwarming moment during one of her live shows when she stopped mid-song to comfort a crying little girl in the audience. It happened while the pop star was performing an acoustic version of her hit song “Who Knew”. Suddenly, Pink paused, noticing the upset child, and asked the crowd, “Is everything OK here? Is this little girl alright? Why is she crying?”
As the audience murmured, Pink figured out the reason: “Because there was a fight? Y’all are fighting around a little girl?” she said, sounding both shocked and disappointed. The crowd responded by booing the people who had been arguing. Turning her attention back to the girl, Pink tried to make her smile. “Honey, do you want this frog and this Rice Krispie treat? Come on, you know you want a Rice Krispie treat.” The audience chuckled as Pink sweetly added, “You look beautiful, all in pink.”
The little girl was shy and didn’t want to come forward, but Pink didn’t pressure her. Instead, she handed the toy frog and Rice Krispie treat to someone nearby, asking them to pass it along. She then spoke directly to the fighters, “Cut it out, y’all, you’re grown-ass women.” The crowd erupted in cheers, loving Pink’s no-nonsense attitude and her care for the young fan. Once the situation calmed down, Pink started the song again from the beginning, giving the audience—and the little girl—a fresh start.
This touching moment quickly went viral on YouTube, racking up over 10 million views. Fans couldn’t stop praising Pink for her kindness. One comment read, “Pink probably turned an unpleasant experience into one of the best moments of that girl’s life that she’ll cherish forever.” Another fan wrote, “Pink is just too awesome. I love how down-to-earth she is. If only more artists were like her!”
Another iconic Pink moment fans love to talk about is when she sang a duet of “Who Knew” with none other than Kelly Clarkson. The performance happened on The Kelly Clarkson Show, where Pink also shared the deeply personal story behind the song. “I lost several friends, unfortunately, to overdose,” Pink explained. “The second one was very, very close to me, and I loved him so much.”
She added, “But the thing I love about the song now, after all these years, is that I never get tired of performing it. It’s taken on so many different meanings over time. It was about my grandmother at one point. It was about my dog. I’ve lost people, so it’s always fresh in my heart.”
