Singer P!nk lashed out at a Twitter troll after he criticised her performance at the beginning of the 2018 Super Bowl. The "Beautiful Trauma" singer performed the US National Anthem despite battling the flu.

The troll had tweeted, "If I've said it once, I've said it 1000 times. P!nk sucks and if you like her singing you're dumb." However, P!nk gave it back to the troll and tweeted, "Yeah but at least I suck while singing our countries national anthem, and you just suck by yourself on a dirty couch." 

The 38-year-old star then thanked her fans for their prayers ahead of her performance. "All of your prayers and well wishes and candles got me through. Thank you for all of your love and support. We love you," she tweeted.

P!nk also bit back at the people who criticised her for spitting out what appeared to be gum during her performance. "It was a throat lozenge," she tweeted. 

 

Trying to practice the flu away. I’ve been waiting to sing this song since 1991 when I saw my idol, Whitney Houston, own this song. And now, my chance has finally come. And it just so happens that this chance comes when I have two small Petri dish kids who literally cough INTO MY MOUTH and rub their snot on my cheek. You can’t write this stuff I swear! And here we are. I’ve arrived at another one of my dreams which is slowly becoming a sort of nightmare. I will tell you, this is one of the biggest honors of my life, singing this song in front of my family, my military family, my dad and brother and step mama and family and the world. And the EAGLES!?!?! I promise I will do my best, as I always do. As far as the gremlins that got me into this mess, you can cough at me for the rest of your lives. If it’s a contest, babies, you win. #spreadthelove #spreadthegerms #pleasegivememyvoiceback #ificansingimgonnakillit
