'It's a blessing': Pink hits back at trolls calling her 'old', says 'I pray I look older in 10 years'
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Pink has always been quick to respond to online trolls and this time, too, the singer-songwriter gave it back to them, especially to those who mocked her age and appearance.
She revealed over a social media post the news that she’s extending her Summer Carnival tour. "North America – we had the best time with you this year, so we had to add more dates in 2024 and bring my friends @SherylCrow, @thescript, and @KidCutUp with me 🎉 Can’t wait to see you there!! Tickets on sale next Monday!" Pink wrote.

Pink gives it back to haters
Though, one user commented “Pink got old,” and she took him to the task. “Yes, although I don’t feel old, and I still get to wear a leotard to work, growing older is actually my first “grateful” every day. What a blessing to have life, years,” she replied to the comment on X.
“To be this strong, to be able. To still p**s off complete strangers just by existing. F**k yeah times 44!” she said, reports People.
Pink shut her haters back in 2018, too, when they mocked her appearance. “Well, there are a few people left in the world that choose to age naturally. And I’ve earned every f****g minute of my 38 years. How you lookin’ though? ‘Cause I never heard of ya ’til you put my name in your mouth. I shall call you little purple troll,” she said referring to a user who suggested her name should be changed to Purple from Pink.
The artist added on social media, “I am of the mindset that it’s a blessing to grow old — that if your face has lines around your eyes and mouth it means you’ve laughed a lot. I pray I look older in 10 years, ’cause that will mean I’m alive.”
NORTH AMERICA – we had the BEST TIME with you this year, so we HAD to add more dates in 2024 and bring my friends @SherylCrow, @thescript, and @KidCutUp with me 🎉 Can’t wait to see you there!! Tickets on sale next Monday! https://t.co/1dun5H8oYd pic.twitter.com/G1ATsuLXT2

Pink was called out earlier for her changed look
Pink revealed that she had used an opportunity to teach her daughter Willow about how online bullying works and also about ‘ignorance.’
"I just showed my 12 year old daughter your post. I explained to her that I've never met you, I don't know you, and I have no idea why you would go out of your way to be hateful," she wrote to the commenter who questioned her over sharing a family photo publicly.
"It was a good lesson in ignorance. Thank you. I still don't know you Congrats. You're no one," she ended the post.
