Pink's hugely successful Summer Carnival tour continues around the nation with a recent stop at none other than the singer's hometown of Philadelphia, the second time she has done so on this tour after a pair of back-to-back concerts in September 2023.
The 44-year-old was born in 1979 in Doylestown Township, Pennsylvania, just 25 miles north of Philadelphia, and each return to her hometown calls for a special time.
On August 18, Pink stopped by Lincoln Financial Field for another sold out show, and this one proved to be extra meaningful, thanks to appearances from many close family members and friends in the crowd, including her mother Judy.
The singer shared several outtakes from the show on her Instagram days later and emotionally reflected on being able to bring her biggest hits back home and feel the Philly love.
"Philly, I can't believe we just did that!!!" she exclaimed. "Thank you to my mom, my family, my friends, my junior high school guidance counselor and every single person who came out for a homecoming show that went beyond my wildest dreams!!"
"I am so proud to be from here," Pink continued to gush. "And a special shout out to The Bill Jolly Choir, who reunited with me last night for the first time since we recorded 'I Am Here' together. Thank you for sharing your extraordinary talent with us and for helping create one of my favorite moments in the show."

Like many of Pink's concert tours, it has grossed well, having earned over $360 million so far and reigning as the fifth most successful concert tour of all time by a woman, behind only her own Beautiful Trauma World Tour, Madonna's Sticky & Sweet Tour, Beyoncé's Renaissance Tour, and Taylor Swift's ongoing Eras Tour.

When asked what she meant by that, Pink responded: "We sold three million tickets in the last six months, but you don't really hear about it unless you went."

As long as the mom and the daughter, or the dad who's in the Pink t-shirt, as well as his daughter and her three friends, had a fantastic time — or the gay couple that came together and felt super safe at my show because no one heckled them, that's what really matters."
