Self-proclaimed "aging pop star" Pink (kind of) apologised for dissing Demi Lovato and other MTV VMA performers from Sunday night's ceremony.
The three-time Grammy winner - who turns 36 next Tuesday - caused headlines after slamming most of the scheduled performers as 'gross and embarrassing.'
"I felt embarrassed and sad. And old. We're getting old. But in all seriousness; I felt sad because music is supposed to inspire. It saved my life. This trash won't save any kids life," the Just Give Me A Reason singer reportedly wrote on her private Instagram.
"In a world that is even scarier and with lives still worth saving, who will stand up and have soul? Disenfranchised to say the least. Let down by my industry and peers. Beside Macklemore and Pharrell and Bieber (pre-sob fest) and The Weeknd, Tori Kelly was dope too. The rest was gross and embarrassing and hard for this aging pop star to believe."
Demi Lovato's devoted fans - dubbed "Lovatics" - quickly and fiercely expressed their outrage on Pink's Twitter page.
On Thursday, the Thanks for Sharing actress tweeted for them to "look for a feud elsewhere" since she had "forgotten" the 23-year-old pop diva had actually performed with Iggy Azalea.
Pink tweeted, “Please look for a feud elsewhere. I have no issue with Demi Lovato or anyone else. I actually forgot she performed. I have opinions. MANY.” She continued, “I stand by what I said. However, I didn’t intend for the angry people of the world to latch on and make it into something it isn’t. Peace.” I’m convinced MTV just bought up all dispensaries before airing this show”, she tweeted once more.
However, Pink - born Alecia Moore - noted that she still stood by her words, including her crack about MTV "buying up all the dispensaries."
The former X Factor judge's fans were probably angered because she just celebated her three years sober anniversary on March 15.
Demi Lovato - born Demetria - did two stints in rehab for cocaine, alcohol, depression, self-harm, and an eating disorder - one of which occurred at Timberline Knolls in 2011.
Pink had noticeably left out other performers from the night, including host Miley Cyrus, Taylor Swift, Nicki Minaj, and Demi Lovato - who called the singer out for her comments on Twitter on Friday, Sept. 4.
Cool For The Summer may not “save kid’s lives” or inspire” but I’d say Skyscraper & Warrior have done a pretty good job of helping people”, she tweeted, “cope with mental illness. VMA’s are sexy and fun. There’s a time and place for everything.”
Prior to Demi Lovato's comments, however, Pink clarified that she had no problem with the former Disney star. Because of this, it appears that Pink stands by her VMAs diss as she have no issue with Demi Loavto or anyone else.

In a mean time, while Pink finds today's music gross and embarassing following MTV VMAs, Pink will be turning 36 next Tuseday. In addition, Pink manage to record a new song, a new themse song for the Ellen DeGeneres Show. The Raise Your Glass singer will perform the track on the 13th season premiere of the daytime talk show, which airs Tuesday.
Boy, talk about why pop music is still using repeats and radio these days and forget saving people's lives and inspires. That reminds me of something. Why can't mainstream music go by saving people's lives and inspires? So I have to agree with Pink about why saving people's lives and inspires did not survive the repeats curse and saving people's lives and inspires is still not popular today and you have to use independent and international. I guess America want repeats and money and repeats is what America sells these days.
But still, if Pink can collaborate with Demi Lovato, then both female pop stars can think about making a big inspiring peoples lives and save people's lives single. That would be awesome if it's gonna happen. Please record that, Pink.
So what do you think? Is Pink right about why repeats dominating music is not OK? Do you think Pink and Demi Lovato will have to respect each other? Can music going by saving people's lives and inspires finally be coming back? Sound off below!
