Pink Clapped Back At H8rs After Nailing Her Super Bowl Performance With The Flu
Pink singing the national anthem at the Super Bowl while battling the flu is an absolute boss move and everyone better recognise her A+ game.
Yesterday, Pink posted a pic of her rehearsing the Super Bowl performance and shared that she’s seriously under the weather with the flu. She told fans, “I’ve arrived at another one of my dreams which is slowly becoming a sort of nightmare.”
Seeing as most of us are debilitatingly gross when bogged down with the flu, there was a bit of nervousness about how Pink’s rendition of the national anthem would sound. But against all odds, Pink absolutely owned it. Check it out:

Yup – Pink bloody killed it and she isn’t about to let anything derail her victorious flu-ridden-but-somehow-incredible performance.
The internet was going wild for what looked like Pink spitting out her gum and dropping it on the field before singing the anthem, giving us all an iconic new gif to play with.
Why they still playing the game? Pink spitting her gum out pre-National Anthem just Won the Super Bowl ???? pic.twitter.com/Gl9gCqTbx5

Then when a hater trolled Pink with this (since-deleted) tweet criticising her and her performance:
Pink did not let that shit slide:
Yeah but altleast I suck while singing our countries national anthem, and you just suck by yourself on a dirty couch. #winning https://t.co/SfLQr9hVTq

Haters gonna hate but be careful posting your Pink-hate online because Pink sees you and she will burn you right back.
At least Pink has plenty of support coming her way from fans and a heap of celebs who have been tweeting out their praise of the performance.
