PINK - Then and Now

PINK - Then and Now

Source: Pacific Coast News

Pink was just 21 when she had her first hit "There You Go," and she's scored ten Hot 100 hits since. She's also chopped off her dreadlocks, gotten married, sold more than 36 million albums, and had a baby over the last decade! 

The singer's definitely been busy since her days of pink dreadlocks and crocheted dresses, as seen at the Billboard Music Awards in 2001. At this point, she had just met her future husband, motocross racer Carey Hart and her second, edgier album Missundaztood had just been released.

Her first album, Can't Take Me Home, came out in April 2000 and tore up the charts with hits like "Most Girls" and "You Make Me Sick." It sold 5 million copies and was certified double platinum!

She'd also collaborated with Lil Kim, Christina Aguilera, and Mya for the hit "Lady Marmalade" for the Moulin Rouge soundtrack. The song earned Pink her first Grammy in 2002. She went on to win another in 2004 for "Trouble," and in 2011 for "Imagine."


She currently has 5 albums under her belt, plus 2010's Greatest Hits...So Far! Somehow, she
also managed to get married and have something of a life while she churned out hit after hit. Pink actually proposed to Carey in 2005 during a motocross race by holding up a "Will you marry me?" sign on his pit board. He said yes.

They went through a rough patch and nearly divorced around the 2008 mark. Through the tough times, Pink focused on her music and Carey was even in her "So What" music video! Their story had a happy ending, though: About a year later they'd gone through counseling and decided to stay together. In late 2010 they announced they were expecting!

Pink gave birth to Willow Sage Hart on June 2, 2011 and she's thrilled to be a new mom -- but she's not ready to give up her career. She promised: "As soon as the baby can say 'mama,' I'm going on the road," she said after announcing her pregnancy in 2010 (via Huffington Post). "We are going to be a traveling family gypsy band with garlands in our hair."
