Pink lived up to her newly-minted Icon Award at the 2021 Billboard Music Awards with a touching aerial performance to her song "Cover Me in Sunshine" — in tandem with her 9-year-old daughter, Willow Sage Hart.
The bada-- award recipient picked the song — a single she recorded with Willow — to kick off an eight-minute medley worthy of the Philadelphia native. The high-flying stunt was par for the course for the 41-year-old Pink, who is known for mind-blowing acrobatics during concerts.
After the segment, she proclaimed that her offspring "nailed it." Like mother, like daughter.
She was introduced by her longtime friend, musician Jon Bon Jovi, who saluted her artistry and legacy and said she "truly changed the game" as a rock and roll "trailblazer."
PINK SHUTS DOWN ALL LIVES MATTER COMMENTERS ON INSTAGRAM: 'YOU DON’T EVEN HEAR YOURSELF'
In her remarks, she playfully admitted to being "crushed" when, at age 8, she found out that Bon Jovi was already in a relationship. "I’m very glad you found everlasting [love]," she said, addressing him onstage, "but you broke my heart." She joked that — although she "ripped his poster off her wall and replaced it with Sebastian Bach" — she took receiving the award from him as an "apology."
