Pink and Demi Lovato are the latest celebs to have a VMA twitter ‘feud’
She has long been known for being one of Hollywood’s most outspoken stars, and it seems that when it came to this year’s VMAs Pink has not changed a bit.
Following Sunday’s award show, she commented to a fan that she felt “embarrassed” while watching the performances unfold.
According to E! News the singer said: "I felt sad because music is supposed to inspire. It saved my life. This trash won't save any kids life.”
She continued to add: "In a world that is even scarier and with lives still worth saving, who will stand up and have soul?"
So she found herself felling “disenfranchised” by the whole ordeal, aside from a few more noteworthy moments. Artists such as Tori Kelly, Justin Bieber and Macklemore were all bringing their A-game as far as Pink was concerned.
"The rest was gross and embarrassing and hard for this aging pop star to believe.”
One of the performers falling under the “gross” label was Demi Lovato, who was not impressed with Pink’s review on Sunday’s events. She responded with a series of tweets:
Cool For The Summer may not "save kid's lives" or "inspire" but I'd say Skyscraper & Warrior have done a pretty good job of helping people

cope with mental illness. VMA's are sexy and fun. There's a time and place for everything.

Fans of both singers were, naturally, less than pleased and a supposed ‘feud’ began to ignite social media.
@ddlovato you have saved so many lives & inspired so many more. Your music keeps a lot of us going, there's so much more to you than CFTS

However, Pink was quick to dismiss the unrest asking for people to stop creating drama between the stars.
Please look for a feud elsewhere. I have no issue with Demi Lovato or anyone else. I actually forgot she performed. I have opinions. MANY

Her forgetting about Demi's performance was apparently supposedly another thinly-veiled dig at the star but she insisted that was not what she was trying to do. She then shared a fan's tweet which she felt summed up the situation perfectly:
@Pink Pink doesn't play the trashy tabloid game and is in a league of her own so you're bitchy tweets are meaningless. You cannot touch her.
