Even though pop singer Pink was suffering from the flu, she did a phenomenal job singing the National Anthem. Standing with her at Super Bowl LII in Minneapolis, Minnesota, were representatives from all branches of the United States military.
Pink was dressed in white and gave an unwavering performance. She wanted to show her patriotism and match the incredible performance of her idol Whitney Houston from 1991 during the first Gulf War. For a football league suffering from low ratings thanks to the “take a knee” protests, Pink showed us what being an American is all about.

But not everyone was happy:
If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it 1000 times. Pink sucks and if you like her singing you’re dumb #SuperBowl

Pink immediately fired back with this perfect response. So epic! Check it out:
