A fierce advocate of self-love and never giving a damn about what people think, Pink is one of the most outspoken stars when it comes to empowering yourself.
Having dealt with bullying herself during her younger years, and as of late through her daughter’s bullying nightmare, the singer has no patience for haters and trolls.
Not one to suffer fools who can’t do better than pick on someone’s physical appearance, that star delivered an epic clap back and flawless lesson in self-love to an ageist Twitter user who tried – and failed – to insult her appearance.
‘You must be from la. Well, there are a few people left in the world that choose to age naturally. And I’ve earned every minute of my 38 years. How you looking though? Cause I never heard of ya til you put my name in your mouth. I shall call you little purple troll.’

Wow Pink looks so old that should be named Purple instead

Her fans and the Twitterverse in general took note of the awesome response, reaching out to wish her good health and a long life, while also enjoying the troll’s takedown. After all, he picked the wrong star to try and insult.
You know I will! I’ll call it “the wrinkles and rolls tour”

The point of life is not to arrive at the grave in body looking pristine and new, but to slide in sideways having had one hell of a ride.

I always said, it’s inevitable to get winkles, the only power we have was whether they were from frowning or smiling! At 45, I’ve proven my point. Keep smilin’ sugar!!

Pink, of course, looks flawless, but that’s beside the point. She’s happy, healthy and confident. Besides, one’s appearance is nobody’s business. Whether young or old, skinny or fat, our value and self-worth is not based on the randomness of genetics or the process of aging.
And the “Beautiful Trauma” singer could probably write a book or two on confidence. Moreover, Pink is quite aware of the gift of aging – after all it means we’re still here, living, laughing and loving. Continuing her impromptu master class in self-love, she further tweeted:
‘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.’
