For the performance, Pink donned a chic black blazer with structured shoulder detailing, a graphic white tank and sporty red Adidas trousers while Clarkson went for an elegant, long-sleeved, flowy olive green gown.
Before the two Grammy winners impressed viewers with their vocals, they talked about the meaning of the song, which derived from Pink’s record, Beautiful Trauma.

“We’re not listening to each other right now, and it’s so loud and so gross and angry,” Pink said about the creation process of the track.
She continued, “And people are being forgotten, people are being counted out and their rights are being trampled on just because a group of people doesn’t believe in them.”
The “Who Knew” hitmaker added, “One of the most beautiful things that my dad taught me was that my voice matters and I can make a difference, and I will.”

The “Breakaway” singer then introduced their performance, which featured their epic collaboration for a stripped-down, 75-second acoustic version with one guitarist on stage accompanying them. Pink began, “We are searchlights, we can see in the dark/ We are rockets, pointed up at the stars.”
They both then sang, “We are billions of beautiful hearts/ And you sold us down the river too far.” The women then launched into the iconic chorus together, giving many audience members chills in the process.
