P!nk said she “laughed out loud” when she found out she was going to grace the cover of People magazine’s “Beautiful” issue.
“I immediately turned to whoever was in the room, and said, ‘Did you ever think this was as good as it gets?,’” the singer told Ellen DeGeneres this week.
P!nk said her children Willow, 6, and Jameson, 1, are responsible for the honour. Both appear on the cover with her.
In the magazine, the pop star said people’s perceptions of beauty are evolving.
“I don’t think my 13-year-old self would listen, but I love the way things are changing,” said P!nk. “And there's nothing wrong with beautiful, and there's nothing wrong with beautiful on the inside. Beautiful on the outside, it's all different shades. It's all different sizes. It means whatever it means to you.”
P!nk is the third music star to cover the “Beautiful” issue – Beyoncé was on in 2012 and Jennifer Lopez was in 2011.
