Pink and her 13-year-old daughter Willow sang an emotional performance of “What About Us” at the Democratic National Convention on Aug. 22 (if you missed it, Entertainment Tonight has a clip of it HERE.) And while the stunning live duet left the audience teary-eyed, a behind-the-scenes moment was even more special.
“It’s been a busy few weeks ????????????,” the “Trustfall” singer wrote on Instagram today. In addition to several photos from her Summer Carnival tour, Pink also posted a heartfelt video of a pep talk she gave her daughter before the DNC.
In the clip, that was recorded backstage, Pink leaned into her daughter and encouraged her to “just do your thing” on stage. “Whatever you don’t sing, I will,” she continued. “It’s going to be brilliant. OK?”
“I’ll be ready,” Willow responds with a smile. How incredibly sweet is that? There’s no stress or pressure — just a mom and a daughter going out to perform and celebrate Vice President Kamala Harris before she accepted the Democratic nominee for President.
“My God, I adore you! Such an inspiration l, such a role model and a great Mom!” one person commented. Another wrote, “❤️❤️❤️ Loved this historical version of what about us at the DNC. Wow. You all, especially Willow, were amazing ????”
“What a touching performance and the mommy daughter connection is beyond beautiful ❤️❤️❤️???????????? “someone else said. “you all rocked it and we are proud of you @pink and willow ????????????”
Pink, who shares Willow and son Jameson, 7, with husband Carey Hart, revealed that her daughter was following her dreams of working in musical theater and would no longer be touring with her. In a June TikTok, Pink wrote, “This weekend’s shows were Willow’s last few on tour before she takes time away to follow her dreams. I promised I wouldn’t cry. I DID NOT, however, promise I wouldn’t hyperventilate through our hug.” She continued, “I’m gonna miss you so much.”
The video was of Pink and Willow, where she told her daughter, “OK. You have your own lane and you want to be in it. And I love that for you. And I will tell you that in this last recital, I saw a version of you that I didn’t know existed and it is really wild to watch you grow up and grow out of me.”
These two are mother-daughter goals, and it’s so sweet to see them together!
