Meet Pink’s musical mini-me daughter, Willow Sage Hart: the budding vocal star just wowed Olivia Rodrigo with her rendition of ‘The Rose Song’ and has already performed on stage in Grease
Willow Sage Hart, the 11-year-old daughter of Grammy award-winning artist Pink, has been making headlines for her vocal prowess, but this time, she turned heads when she performed The Rose Song during her first recital, gaining fans including celebrities.
Pink took to Instagram to share Hart’s rendition, which was originally sung by Olivia Rodrigo in Disney’s High School Musical: the Musical: the Series, as per Today.
Hart nailed the ballad’s high notes with her sweet, soulful voice. As she wrapped her performance, she was met with cheers and applause from the crowd.
Actress and singer Mandy Moore also lauded her stage presence: “Holy cow!!! What a voice! What composure. Superstar.”
But what else do we know about Hart other than her angelic voice?

This is not the first time she’s showed off her voice
Last May, Hart once again joined her mum onstage to sing “Cover Me in Sunshine” at the BottleRock Napa Valley music festival. Last year, they released the same track, which was met with positive reviews.
But according to Pink, Hart seems to be oblivious to the reception she’s getting. “She doesn’t care at all about any of this stuff. She doesn’t care at all,” Pink revealed in 2021 on The Ellen DeGeneres show.
She has been bitten by the “theatre bug”
According to Carey Hart, Willow’s dad, she has caught the musical theatre bug too. Hart revealed on Good Morning America that Willow did two musical productions this past summer, performing in both High School Musical and Grease.

Hart criticised her mum’s singing voice
Pink has won three Grammys and performed at the awards ceremony multiple times, according to The Independent. But to Hart, her mum’s singing voice is “terrible”.
In 2016, Pink revealed on Good Morning America that Hart does not approve of her music. “When she was two, she was like, ‘Shh, mama, terrible voice.’ First of all, who taught you the word terrible,” the singer recalled.
Pink doesn’t impose gender roles
Pink’s defiance of gender stereotypes through her music has shaped her parenting style. In 2017, she told The Sunday People she’s raising her children gender neutral, saying, “we are a very label-less household.”
However, she clarified in a 2018 People interview that “gender neutral” is itself a label. “I don’t like labels at all so I believe that a woman and a girl can be anything.”

Hart is not allowed to use a phone
Like Nicole Kidman and Penelope Cruz, Pink is strict with technology, prohibiting Hart from having a mobile phone, according to Us Magazine.
Acknowledging the pros and cons of technology for adults in general, Pink explained that for kids, she’s not yet convinced. Hart has previously asked her mum for a phone, pointing out her classmates have one, but Pink did not give in to her request. “That doesn’t move my needle. I don’t care,” she said.
