We couldn’t stop talking about the exchange between Nicki Minaj and Miley Cyrus following this year’s MTV VMAs but another ‘spat’ also came out of the night.
Following the ceremony, singer Pink allegedly took to her Instagram account and said she was disappointed by the talent on display.
In response to a fan, she reportedly wrote: “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.”
Demi Lovato was one of the performers at the VMAs.
She apparently added: “Let down by my industry and peers. Beside Macklemore and pharell (Williams) and (Justin) bieber… and the weekend, Tori Kelly was dope too. The rest was gross and embarrassing and hard for this aging pop star to believe.”
Demi, who was one of the performers on the night, took to Twitter to respond to the criticism.
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. — Demi Lovato (@ddlovato) September 4, 2015
Pink has since defended herself against the backlash, insisting that she stands by what she said.
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

I stand by what I said. However, I didn’t intend for the angry people of the world to latch on and make it into something it isn’t. Peace — P!nk (@Pink) September 4, 2015
You know, this is part of why I’m sad about the VMas and the world in general. Everyone is so nasty and waiting for a fight. I never said
