It's a fact that discussing your political allegiances online can often lead to a heated debate in the comments section, and that goes double for celebrities.
Yesterday (September 21), Pink decided to let her political standpoint be known when she took to Instagram to share an image of her wearing a Biden-Harris t-shirt.
The 41-year-old chart-topper - who was also wearing a helmet as she prepared for a motorcycle ride - captioned the post: "Take em out for a rip.#jesusmaryandjosephicannotwaittovote [sic]"

However, some of Pink's eight million followers took umbrage with Pink's support of the Democrat candidate and made their feelings known in the comments section, with some even vowing to unfollow the singer.
Pink's husband, off-road truck racer Carey Hart, took to Instagram to post a lengthy rebuttal defending her from the critics. Per a report by Fox News, Hart wrote:
"I’ll try to keep this short. Yes Biden has been in politics for 47 years. Reason I am voting for him is because I ‘hope’ he puts together a great team that will do positive things. And that is what most of Trump’s high-profile early [supporters were] planning for him to do."
Hart, 45, continued:
"But his narcissism kicked in and away he went. Trump retweets white power s*** all the time. Called peaceful protesters animals, and called the racist pieces of s*** in Charlottesville ‘good people.’
“[The Second Amendment] is a constitutional right, and no two people (Biden and Beto) can take that away. I, for one, think there needs to be stricter gun laws, ‘cause guess what? That won’t affect me because I’m a law-abiding citizen.
"If Trump loves the military vets so much, why has he done next to nothing for them in the last 3.5 years? I for one don’t want to defund the police. But there needs to be a radical recalibration of how they do things.
“Good on Trump if he did raise [salaries] for [minorities]. I must have missed that move, but good on him if he did. To wrap up, all those negatives for his one right doesn’t get my vote."
Pink herself hasn't yet responded to the trolls who have disparaged her voting choices, but with Hart shutting down the haters, it looks like she won't need to.
Pink recently revealed that she'd cut her own hair during lockdown in this video - check it out:
