Pink's Democratic National Convention performance with daughter Willow brings audience to tears

Pink brought the audience to tears as she took the stage at the 2024 Democratic National Convention, closing the final night with an emotional performance alongside her daughter.

The music icon, 44, delivered a powerful rendition of her hit song What About Us just before Vice President Kamala Harris stepped up for a key speech.

Dressed in a stunning strapless black gown, Pink was joined by her 12-year-old daughter, Willow Sage, whose impressive vocals left fans in awe.

Following their rousing performance, fans flooded social media platform X (formerly Twitter) with emotional reactions.

One fan shared: "Pink is gonna make me cry. I love this song” while another commented: "I’m not crying. YOU’RE CRYING! Also, @Pink’s daughter KILLED IT! (Mama was pretty great too)."

A third noted: “Never thought of ‘What About Us?’ as a political anthem until now. Pink, amazing."

Another fan wrote: “Seeing Pink on stage with her daughter Willow after hearing from families impacted by gun violence was so powerful. This #DNC is unlike any other.”

Pink has previously publicly shown support for the Democratic party, having publicly backed Joe Biden's presidential campaign in 2020.

The singer, who is vocal advocate for animal rights, LGBTQ+ rights, women’s rights, also criticised former President George W. Bush’s policies in her song, Dear Mr. President.

Her emotional performance followed a lineup of renowned artists at the DNC.

Earlier in the night, The Chicks captivated the crowd with a moving rendition of the National Anthem.

Throughout the week, the convention featured memorable performances from country stars Mickey Guyton and Jason Isbell, R&B legend Patti LaBelle, rapper Common, and chart-topping icons John Legend, Sheila E., and Stevie Wonder.
