After performing a collection of her greatest hits and receiving a warm introduction from Ellen DeGeneres, Pink began her remarks by recounting something her daughter said to her on a recent drive to school: “I’m the ugliest girl I know … I look like a boy with long hair.” Pink, who arrived at the VMAs alongside her daughter in excellent matching suits, used the anecdote to speak directly to her daughter from the stage.
