Pink looks exactly the same as when she first burst onto the music scene back in 1999. Don’t believe us? Just take a look at her recent Glamour magazine cover. Fourteen years later, and the now 33 year old hasn’t aged one bit. What she had done, however, is become more edgier, bolder, more outspoken, and, we just love her for it!
During her recent sit down with the magazine, Pink reveals quite a bit about herself. Perhaps things we didn’t already know. Here’s some of what she had to say. And about that, “reformed slut” comment, well, let her explain…
Glamour: On sex songs on her last album. Particularly, “Slut Like You” and “Walk of Shame.”
Pink: Oh, yeah. I’m a reformed slut.
Her views on the use of the word Slut
It’s my very unsophisticated way of taking the power back. I’ve always had an issue with [the idea that]: “OK, we’ve both decided to do this. Why am I a slut and you’re the player? You didn’t get anything from me that I didn’t get from you.”
Touring With *NSYNC and 98 Degrees in the early stages of her career
It was Beatlemania for those boys. I got in trouble for toilet-papering 98 Degrees’ bus.
On getting along with the groups
Joey Fatone was in love with me. He took me to Friendly’s on a date, and he bought me an ice cream. Such a sweetheart. He asked my dad’s permission.
On singing to escape her parents fighting at a young age & songs she would sing
I sang “Wind Beneath My Wings,” and “Hero” by Mariah. And “Oh Father” by Madonna. That was my first win at a talent show. A lot of Annie too.
On naming daughter Willow Sage.
Pink: I love the idea that a willow tree cannot be snapped or broken. And we burn sage all the time. It clears bad energy.
On being an over-protective mama.
Somebody asked Carey how I’ve changed since I had Willow, and he said my claws have sharpened. They got longer too.
On all the breakups and separations with husband Carey Hart & maintain a good relationship
Are things ever good? I don’t believe that exists. Long-term relationships are an everyday choice. It’s harder to be in a marriage than it is to bounce from one relationship to the next. We’re good because we communicate and we’ve grown up together, not because we don’t fight.
On the last thing they fought about?
[She yells to the next room.] Carey! What was the last thing we fought about? Oh, I know! You not getting me flowers and being a douchebag. That was it.
On why she got upset over not getting flowers
He needed to get me flowers after I had a big show. Hear that, Carey? I’m throwing you to 17 million wolves [Glamour readers] right now, buddy.
On the worst day she had as a mom, her parenting woes
When I was at iHeartRadio [music festival] in Vegas. Carey was at a truck race or something. Willow and I were at the pool, and I was taking her to nap time. She was walking just a foot in front of me. And she trips and falls and gets a concussion. She passed out. Cut to an ambulance and fire truck. And a CAT scan. She was about a year old. That was the worst day of my life. And what do they say? “Kids fall.” Welcome to parenthood. I thought, I can’t handle this. I’m fitting her for a bubble.
On her fear as a mom when her persona is so fearless.
Every time she bounces on the bed, I see stitches. Being a parent is a Jedi mind f–k. It’s also the raddest thing ever.
Glamour: On cussing a lot and around her daughter
Pink: Willow said, “F–kin’ hi,” the other day. I’m like, “F–k!”
Glamour: On not cussing
We’re gonna get a jar. Have to.
