In stark contrast to her other celebrated Grammys performances (think "Glitter in the Air" in 2010), P!nk stayed firmly on the ground and at her microphone for the entire performance, using only her voice and her message to wow the audience into a standing ovation. "The stones you throw can make me bleed, but I won't stop until we're free. There's not enough tape to shut this mouth," the chorus begins. Her performance of "Wild Hearts" spoke directly to the resilience of the Time's Up movement and the broader cultural reckoning with gender issues, sexual misconduct and inclusivity. All it took for the 38-year-old songstress to bring down the house was a white T-shirt and jeans, a sign language interpreter, her voice and a powerfully timely song. She's perfect and strong the way she is, and those qualities and styles are exactly what have made her so successful in the first place.NEW YORK - There were no acrobatics, backup dancers or special effects when P!nk took the stage to perform "Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken" at the Grammy Awards. Her decidedly masculine look (including a short haircut, tank top, and baggy pants) and her daughter's quick cameo clues the viewer in that this is another in a long string of messages Pink has delivered that shows she doesn't care about gender or what's expected of her as a woman. The track is decidedly adult contemporary in sound and between the singer’s delivery and the lush production swelling behind her, it’s not difficult to understand why this is clearly a favorite of hers and why so many fans have rallied behind the tune as well. The black and white clip doesn’t rely on a storyline or comedic moments (like her “Beautiful Trauma” treatment) to interest the viewer, instead allowing Pink’s emotions to sell the song. After properly introducing the song to the masses last night at the GRAMMYs, Pink is moving forward and pushing her tune “Wild Hearts Can’t Be Broken,” and she’s proving her art can stand on its own merits.Įarlier today, the pop superstar unleashed the video for her song “Wild Hearts Can’t Be Broken,” which is featured on her latest album Beautiful Trauma.
