In a win for confident women everywhere the singer, aka Alecia Moore, 35, famously shut down trolls who were criticising her weight back in April when she shared an epic post to Twitter, declaring to the world that, “I feel beautiful!”

Now, the singer has attended the BMI Pop Awards, where she was honoured with the BMI President’s Award.

The mother-of-one looked radiant in a fuchsia, silk floor-length gown and was joined by her skater hubby Carey Hart.

Speaking at the event, the outspoken stunner explained why she hit back: “I don’t take well to bullying. I never have. I’m not a person that will be bullied. I’m not a person that will stand by watching other people bullied,” she told Entertainment Tonight.

“I am a girl, I have feelings and people think I take no sh*t and I’m tough, tougher than nails, but I’m a human being,” Pink added.

Pink, who is mum to three-year-old daughter Willow, also said the real problem with body shamers and online trolls is that they think too highly of themselves.

“I think people have gotten it wrong. They think their opinion matters and holds weight and I don’t know where or why they’re giving themselves so much credit you know?” Pink said.

“So I thought it was important for me to remind them that I don’t care. My life is full, I like food a lot and I really like to cook, I like to live, I find joy in that and were doing alright in the Hart household.”

“Unless you’ve been dragged through the dirt then it really doesn’t end up being worth it when you get to the top right?”

You gotta hand it to Pink, it’s not often you hear a popstar who sounds so grounded and secure in themselves.
