Pink may have started Sunday night’s American Music Awards sharing the billing with Kelly Clarkson, but she quickly became the single best part of the night. Pink followed up a strong opening performance trading verses with Clarkson on R.E.M.’s “Everybody Hurts,†with a mind-boggling, gravity-defying rendition of her number “Beautiful Trauma.†We’re not just talking about your normal, amazing aerial feats either: She danced on the side of Los Angeles’s JW Marriott.

Between her amazing performances, Pink also attracted attention from fans who noticed that she seemed to be throwing some side-eye during Christina Aguilera’s tribute to Whitney Houston.
