A new pop sensation may be on the rise! Pink delivered a breathtaking performance at the 2024 Democratic National Convention, sharing the stage with her 13-year-old daughter, Willow Sage Hart, for a moving duet. With a voice as captivating as her mother’s, Willow wowed the audience, proving that musical talent runs in the family.
The duo performed a stripped-down acoustic version of Pink’s powerful anthem What About Us, holding hands as they began. As Willow’s delicate yet commanding voice filled the venue, the crowd erupted into applause. Supported by a guitarist and a small vocal ensemble, this intimate rendition gave the song a fresh, heartfelt quality. According to The Music Man, this version has already been recognized as one of the most memorable interpretations of the track.
Willow confidently stepped into the spotlight, her vocals standing out as the second most prominent after Pink’s. She delivered her parts with remarkable poise, drawing admiration from the audience and making her mother beam with pride. Meanwhile, Pink, in top vocal form, brought an emotional depth to the chorus that only added to the magic of the performance.
This isn’t the first time Pink and Willow have joined forces musically. In 2021, they recorded the uplifting duet Cover Me in Sunshine, and in 2018, Willow lent her voice to A Million Dreams. The duo also performed Cover Me in Sunshine live in Adelaide during Pink’s 2024 Australian tour, leaving fans in awe of their undeniable chemistry.
The What About Us performance took place on the final night of the convention in Chicago and was professionally recorded by PBS NewsHour. The video, uploaded to YouTube on August 23, has already surpassed four million views, with fans flooding the comments with praise. Viewers shared reactions like, “Willow’s voice is as angelic as her mom’s,” and, “This duet gave me chills—such a beautiful and powerful moment!”
Originally released on August 10, 2017, as the lead single from Pink’s Beautiful Trauma album, What About Us became an anthem of social and political reflection, particularly in the wake of the 2016 U.S. presidential election. Even years later, its message continues to resonate, and this unforgettable mother-daughter performance has only deepened its impact.
