Awkward. Pink claimed that fellow singer-songwriter Madonna “doesn’t like” her because of a joke she said about the “Like a Virgin” artist, 64, nearly 20 years ago.
The “Trustfall” songstress, 43, elaborated on her point during an appearance on SiriusXM’s The Howard Stern Show on Wednesday, February 22, admitting onstage that she is a “polarizing individual” and that she does “understand” why “some people just don’t like [her].”
“F—k, I loved her,” Pink clarified while speaking with host Howard Stern. “Well, I think that she tried to kind of play me on [Live With] Regis and Kelly, and I’m not the one. So, it didn’t work out.”
After Howard, 69, asked her to elaborate, the Video Music Award winner called it a “silly story because [she] actually f—king love[s] Madonna.”
“I love her no matter what,” Pink continued. “Like, I still love her. She was such an inspiration to me. But it sort of got twisted around that I was, like, fangirling and was dying to meet Madonna when, in actuality, she invited me into her dressing room. And so, I just said a joke when Regis [Philibin] brought me out. He’s like ‘How does it feel to meet [her]? I mean, I heard you’re just falling over yourself backstage. How does it feel?’ I'm like, ‘I thought she wanted to meet me.’”
Howard then reacted by saying that Madonna “took it personally.”
