The audience was first taken aback by the sudden break in her performance and grew hushed when Pink walked over to the girl. “Is everything okay, sweetheart?” she said in a kind and considerate tone.
She looked at some of the grownups around who appeared to be making a scene as whispers swept through the throng. With a slightly perplexed tone, she questioned, “What’s got everyone so worked up about here?” Speaking directly to the young child, Pink gave her an option:
“Darling, would you like a Rice Krispie treat or this frog toy? I suspect you might like the treat better. She couldn’t help but smile as she said, “You look so lovely in pink!” in reference to the young fan’s adorable pink ensemble.

Pink turned to the adults who were causing the disturbance and said, “Ladies, please, let’s keep it civil,” in a stern but gentle manner. All of us are here to take in the music. The audience cheered her remarks, appreciating her ability to gracefully diffuse the situation.
