P!nk Invites 12-Year-Old Fan to Perform at Her Concert

Any budding singer dreams of performing onstage with their musical idol, but for most, it remains just a dream. However, Victoria Anthony, a huge fan of P!nk, made her dream come true simply by asking. When Victoria learned that P!nk would be playing a concert in her hometown, Vancouver, she sprang into action.

She launched a campaign on Twitter, asking P!nk if she could join her onstage and sing at Rogers Arena. Her message was straightforward but brimming with hope: “Hey @Pink, please let me sing on stage with you in #Vancouver May 12. I’ll be ready! – Victoria (age 12). Share this video and tag #vicandpink to make my dream come true.”

It’s a remarkably mature tweet for a twelve-year-old, complete with a call to action, a hallmark of a successful online campaign. Despite the well-crafted tweet, Victoria also needed a bit of luck. Fortunately, luck was on her side when her hashtag went viral and caught the attention of Canadian singer Sarah McLachlan.

McLachlan decided to support Victoria and tweeted P!nk herself: “Hey @Pink, you have to check out 12yr old @vicanthonymusic. She really wants to sing with you on May 12th in #Vancouver. Make her #dreamcometrue. #VicAndPink #BeautifulTraumaWorldTour”

Despite all the attention, the day of the concert arrived with no word from P!nk. Victoria attended the concert, excited to see her idol but not expecting anything more. Then, halfway through the show, P!nk addressed her directly, asking, “Are you who I read about on the news? Are you the singer? Do you want to come sing something?”

True to her tweet, Victoria was ready and made her way to the front. She sang the hit “Perfect,” and both the crowd and P!nk were blown away by her performance. Her voice was far more mature and refined than her age suggested, sounding absolutely incredible. In fact, she was so good that when she finished, P!nk quipped that she wouldn’t sing that song in the concert because she didn’t want to follow Victoria. You have to watch this video and prepare to be impressed.
