THE
PASSION
OF PINK
The outspoken pop star
returns with her first
solo album in five years:
the uplifting, anthem-filled
Beautiful Trauma, out now.
BY MADISON VAINThe album’s lead single,
“What About Us,” has an urgent
message about feeling left
behind by our leaders. Is that
why you released it first?
I needed to make that. I am an
engaged person. I am very politi-
cal—I’m from a military family.
I’ve always been this way. I believe
in equality and inclusiveness
and diversity and kindness and
just generally not being a total
douchebag. But my whole day is
not CNN. My day is filled with
a lot of beautiful s--- and a lot of
long-term marriage [to Carey
Hart]. Life is still being lived.
