"There You Go", "Raise Your Glass", "Who Knew", "Most Girls", and "So What?" singer, wife, and mother of two, Pink, has always been an open book with her fans — and an interesting one at that!
But for everything we know about her already, there is still so much left to unpack.
Here are some interesting facts about the singer that fans didn't know!
She makes fantastic music and is super authentic and open about her life and who she is.
Despite that, there are still a lot of things that people don't know about her! So let's get into those amazing facts!
It's important that people speak up about their mental health!
"Yeah, my mom tried to get me to talk to someone when I was fourteen to erase all the stuff she put on me. It didn’t work."
"After the fifth session, she told my mother there was nothing she could do," she told Rolling Stone.
“I didn’t have a hard childhood,” she told Financial Times, however.
“Compared to other people I had a wonderful childhood. But there was a lot of fighting in my house."
"I was never allowed to go over to any of my friends' houses when I was little, because I was a bad influence," she is quoted saying in her biography.
"None of their parents liked me and my own parents were scared to death of me— and for me."
"I was kicked out of Sunday school as a young child, I was kicked out of the Brownies, I never made it to Girl Scouts. I was into punk-rock music and the theme of anti-authority. I believed in all that," she told Financial Times.
“I’ve never been in a situation where that has happened,” she said.
“I can only imagine it’s because I intimidated them or that I’d bite their nose off or something. But a lot of those women are stronger than me. Maybe I’m just lucky.”
“Shopping bags and trash bags full of clothing from department stores,” she told Derek Paiva.
“I know that sucks to say now because of poor Winona [Ryder], but, yeah, I did it successfully and it was very easy for a while.”
She admitted on The Ellen Degeneres Show that back in 2003, she slashed her husband, Carey Hart's tires.
"It was Thanksgiving," she recalled to Ellen DeGeneres. "The holidays are stressful.”
"The second one I lost a little steam, and I hit the metal part. My hand just went straight down the knife," she said. "Got 13 stitches. But here’s the thing: I didn’t need any anesthesia. I couldn't feel a thing."
Traditionally, men propose to their girlfriends.
But Pink disregarded that gender norm and decided to propose to her boyfriend (at the time), Carey Hart, at a motocross event by writing, "Will U Marry Me? Serious!" on a sign she held up during the race.
"And she said, 'Well, get your ass back on the track. I don't marry losers.'"
This story is definitely one of a kind, amirite?
"I smoked a lot of weed, too," she told Insider.
"'Can you wait to smoke that blunt before the next beauty shot?'" she said the director, David Meyers, asked her. "'I really want you to be able to open your eyes.'"
"Me and my mom have always had a candy-coated, selective-memory relationship. I love her and she knows that. [Sighs] But she is a lunatic, and she knows that, too," she told Rolling Stone.
"I got a lot of [expletive] for telling people that Carey and I have been in couples counseling," she said in an Instagram live stream.
"It's the only reason that we're still together."
She worked at McDonald's, Pizza Hut, and Wendy's — none of which she took very seriously. She admitted to Associated Press that she would smoke cigarettes in the drive-thru window and do acid before showing up for her shifts.
"I'd be tripping on acid ...and I would say, 'Could I have bathroom duty?' And I would sit in the bathroom and watch the tiles," she said.
"I am completely changed since being a mom," she told Carson Daly on TODAY.
"I'm much more open, I'm much more accepting of myself, I'm much more thoughtful," she continued. "I think about the world more, and what we're leaving for these kids, and the direction we're headed in. And so I guess it changes your music."
"I don't know, it's fun, I like noise. The kids bring a levity to the situation that wouldn't otherwise exist. They make everything fun, they bring so much joy, they're entertainment, they're thoughtful. It's just — it's rad."
She continued to say on TODAY that while she hates the toxicity of the internet, she knows that there is a good side.
She likes knowing that her music has helped her fans get through tough times.
"Every day my daughter and I say three things that we’re grateful for. We try not to repeat ourselves. It’s a tall order! Hers can be the same, I try to keep mine creative." she told Financial Times.
"I don’t know what happened. But I know that regardless of whether or not Dr. Luke did that, this is his karma and he earned it because he’s not a good person." she told The Times.
"He doesn’t do good business, he’s not a kind person, he doesn’t do the right thing when given ample opportunities to do so, and I don’t really feel that bad for him.,"she finished.
"There are moments where I look at [Hart] and he is the most thoughtful, logical, constant … he’s like a rock. He’s a good man. He’s a good dad. He’s just the kind of dad I thought he’d be and then some. And then I’ll look at him and go: I’ve never liked you," she said in an interview with The Guardian.
"Then you’ll go through times when you haven’t had sex in a year. Is this bed death? Is this the end of it? Do I want him? Does he want me? Monogamy is work! But you do the work and it’s good again."
“I hate [the feuds]. I despise how readily available they are,” she said to The Guardian. “That’s the only thing I’m a little more thoughtful about.”
She continuously tries to stay out of them!
She has expressed many times that she just wants to live her life in the most authentic way possible and that she is tired of having to address it.
She is who she is people! Leave her be!
Considering the fact that her songs are extremely deep, personal, and sometimes very sad, this isn't too hard to believe!
But even though she's sensitive, she still makes sure to fight for what is right!
It had a little less to do with her own personal experiences, and more with the world as a whole.
"Life is [expletive] traumatic," she said to The Guardian.
"Because I can be dark, I try to constantly remind myself that there’s more good than bad."
