Music superstar Pink has hit out at body shamers in the best way possible: with a beautiful message to her three-year-old daughter Willow.

• Gwyneth Paltrow to live on $29 for one week 

The ‘So What’ singer tweeted a moment she shared with Willow when the toddler asked “why are you so squishy?”.

Wrapped up in the mother-of-one’s response was a friendly jab at her body critics: “because I’m happy”.

The Twittersphere was quick to congratulate Pink on her strong response, with many people telling the singer that she “looked great” and that she is their “abspiration”.

In recent days the singer has also tweeted other taunts to body bullies, writing: “I am perfectly fine, perfectly happy, and my healthy, voluptuous and crazy strong body is having some much deserved time off.

Pink, 35, is known for putting on some of the most athletic and well-choreographed live performances which have included singing while performing circus acrobatics metres above the ground.

Let’s not forget she also won three Grammys and has been nominated 15 times as either a feature, collaborating or supporting artist.
