ALL THAT MATTERS

Alecia Beth Moore, aka the pop singer and songwriter Pink, says she feels her best when she finds time to meditate, which for her can take different forms, including yoga and journalling. Above all, though, she finds comfort in wholesome rituals. “If that’s just taking a shower and listing off what I’m grateful for, or if it’s brushing my son’s hair or giving him a bath, or making a cup of coffee – everything becomes a ritual if it’s intentional,” says Moore, who turns 42 this month. Her kids, Willow Sage Hart, 10, and Jameson Moon Hart, four, sometimes have plans of their own, though. Recording music at home during the pandemic, she says, “I can’t tell you how many takes have been ruined by them knocking on the door, screaming, ‘Where’s my sippy cup?’”

Moore was born in Doylestown, Pennsylvania. At age 14, she started performing under the stage name Pink, which she adopted from Steve. She joined a girl band called Choice when she was 16 and after they disbanded in 1998, she rose to fame with her debut solo album, , in 2000. She’s since released nine more albums, won three Grammys, and become known for her acrobatic performances where she soars over stadiums full of fans. “I’m a better singer upside down,” she says in a documentary about her life and career, , which Amazon Prime Video released earlier this year.
