For most young singers, performing with their favorite artist is something they only imagine. It’s the kind of dream you think about when you’re singing in your room or watching concerts online. But for one Vancouver girl, that dream became real — and it happened in front of thousands of people.
In May 2018, Pink brought her Beautiful Trauma world tour to Vancouver’s Rogers Arena. Among the crowd was 12-year-old Victoria Anthony, who had spent weeks hoping for one thing: the chance to sing with her idol. Victoria didn’t just wish quietly. She took action.
Before the show, Victoria started a small but powerful online campaign. She posted videos of herself singing, tagged Pink, and used the hashtag #VicAndPink. Her goal was simple — get Pink’s attention. Local news stations noticed her efforts and shared her story, which helped her videos spread even more. What began as a fan’s hopeful posts quickly turned into a mini media buzz.
By the time Pink stepped onto the stage in Vancouver, she already knew about the girl in the audience who wanted a chance to sing.
Halfway through the concert, Pink paused the show. She looked out into the crowd and asked, “Are you the girl I saw on the news? Are you the singer?” The entire arena stopped to watch what would happen next. Pink asked Victoria if she wanted to sing something — and just like that, a once-in-a-lifetime moment began.
Getting Victoria to the front took a moment because of security and the large crowd. Instead of waiting, Pink walked down toward her, leaned over the barrier, and handed her the microphone. It was a simple gesture, but it instantly changed the energy in the arena.
Victoria chose to sing Pink’s song “Perfect.” She didn’t have background music, backup singers, or any special effects. It was just her voice and thousands of people watching in silence. Fan videos show Pink standing nearby, listening closely as Victoria sang with confidence far beyond her age.
People in the crowd later said they got goosebumps. Even Pink looked amazed. When the song ended, she stepped toward the young singer and said, “Wow. You’re amazing. Never stop.”
That night didn’t just happen by luck. It started at home, when Victoria jokingly told her mom she wanted to sing with Pink. Instead of brushing it off, her mom encouraged her to try. Victoria posted her video, reached out to the world, and believed something big could happen. And it did.
Local news outlets covered both the lead-up and the moment itself. Videos of the performance spread online, showing the world how a brave 12-year-old turned her dream into real life.
Since that night, the moment has become a key part of Victoria Anthony’s story. She has gone on to release original music, perform live, and continue building her career. She often says that the experience taught her an important lesson — that dreams can come true if you take a chance and go after them.
For Pink, this moment was another example of why her fans love her. She has a long history of inviting people onstage, but this time felt especially powerful. It showed how a superstar’s kindness and a young fan’s determination can create something unforgettable.
Years later, the video still appears on social media. People share it whenever they talk about dream-come-true moments or fans getting the spotlight. It’s a reminder that sometimes the most memorable parts of a concert don’t come from the special effects or the big production. They come from real, human moments — like a superstar handing a microphone to a brave young girl and letting her shine.
