New York: Grammy Award-winning singer Pink penned an angry note after the Recording Academy said women in music need to "step up". Pink took the stage at the Grammys here to give a powerful performance of her song "Wild hearts can't be broken".
But after Recording Academy President Neil Portnow excused the low number of female winners and performers at the annual awards show by suggesting women need "to step up", Pink wasn't taking it lying down, reports dailymail.co.uk.
The singer penned a note that she then posted to her Twitter feed, responding: "Women in music don't need to 'step up' – women have been stepping since the beginning of time. Stepping up, and also stepping aside." Pink went on: "Women owned music this year. They have been killing it. And every year before this."
She added: "When we honour the talent and accomplishments of women, and how much women step up every year, we show the next generation of women and girls and boys and men what it means to be equal, and what it looks like to be fair."
