After taking the stage to perform her new single "What About Us" at the Video Music Awards, Pink accepted the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award — and had an incredible message for young girls.
The mother of two took to the stage to share a story about her daughter Willow, telling the audience how after she came home from school one day Willow told her mom she was "the ugliest girl I know."
Pink then made a powerpoint to teach Willow a very important lesson: that being yourself never goes out of style.
The powerpoint was made up of "androgynous rockstars and artists who live their truth, are probably made fun of everyday of their life, and carry on and wave their flag and inspire the rest of us."
Who was featured in the presentation, you ask? Artists like Michael Jackson, David Bowie, Prince, and Annie Lennox, of course.
Instead of changing to fit other people's beliefs, Pink explained to her oldest that "we don't change. We take the gravel and the shell and we make a pearl."
