Grammy winner Pink always delivers two things: vocals and acrobatics. But, on Sunday night’s Grammys, one of those things was conspicuously absent. The singer sang “Wild Hearts Can’t Be Broken,” from her latest album Beautiful Trauma – with her feet on the ground.
A lot of people noticed.

Many people appreciated Pink’s performance, which was about raw talent and not theatrics.
Singing a song in 2018 about the world we live in is more daring than anything Pink could dangle from. Bravo @Pink #GRAMMYs

No harnesses. No aerials. A powerful voice and a great song – backed up by spare searchlights and an ASL translator in the wings.
Pink goes minimalist for “Wild Hearts Can’t Be Broken.” It pays off. #Grammys

When Pink took home the Video Vanguard Award at the 2017 MTV Video Music Awards, she made another moment without being in the sky. Her speech was a much-beloved eff you to gender norms.
How about we take this to the next level?
