Pink allegedly reportedly definitely wrote on her private Instagram account that the VMAs mostly sucked.

Here's a screenshot of the supposed probable true comments, via an Australian gossip site:

The text, which matches what other outlets are reporting Pink wrote, reads:

"I felt embarrassed and sad. And old. We're getting old. But in all seriousness; I felt sad because music is supposed to inspire. It saved my life. This trash won't save any kids life. In a world that is even scarier and with lives still worth saving, who will stand up and have soul? Disenfranchised to say the least. Let down by my industry and peers. Beside Macklemore and pharell and bieber (pre-sob fest) and the weekend, Tori Kelly was dope too. The rest was gross and embarrassing and hard for this aging pop star to believe."

Wow, that was pretty heavy for an Instagram comment. Also, can you believe celebrities have private social media accounts? Don't they know they owe us every part of their life, and every thought in their head?

Close readers will quickly realize that what's most biting about Pink's rant is the subtext. By saying that the only people who weren't "gross and embarrassing" were Macklemore, Pharell, Justin Bieber, and Tori Kelly, she's implying that Miley Cyrus, Taylor Swift, Nicki Minaj, Iggy Azalea, and Demi Lovato are "trash." She is also probably the first person in history to defend Macklemore.

Demi Lovato responded in a delicate whisper. Just kidding, she tweeted.

Solid counterpoint. I mean I like Pink's songs but was anyone's life saved from "I can't stay on your morphine, 'cuz its makin' me itch / I said, I tried to call the nurse again but she's being a little bitch"?

Pink says there's no feud here and that she didn't even remember that Demi Lovato performed, which is kind of a passive aggressive thing to say when your goal is to not start a feud.

Which brings us to earlier today, when Pink tweeted the advice I ignored about chilling out and going outside. Maybe she's right that people are too quick to accuse celebs of having beef. But she definitely sounds like a grandpa complaining about these kids and their new rock 'n roll music.

Like most feuds, real or imagined, the clear winner seems to be Nicki Minaj.
