P!nk may not have been at the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards this year, but she had a lot to say about the drama-filled event!
In a message reportedly posted to her private Instagram account, the "Try" singer wrote that she "felt embarrassed and sad" by what she saw at the awards show.
"Music is supposed to inspire. It saved my life. This trash won't save any kids life," she wrote. "In a world that is even scarier and with lives still worth saving, who will stand up and have soul? Disenfranchised to say the least."

While she didn't call out any of the performers directly, she pointed out the only stars who didn't disappoint her.
"Let down by my industry peers. Beside Macklemore and pharell and bieber (pre-sob fest) and the weekend, Tori Kelly was dope too," she continued. "The rest was gross and embarrassing and hard for this aging pop star to believe."
She also tweeted praise for Tori Kelly.
The "rest" included Miley Cyrus, Nicki Minaj and Demi Lovato -- and her fans were quick to start a social media feud.

P!nk later took to Twitter to clarify her statement, but she also didn't back down.
"I stand by what I said," she wrote. "However, I didn't intend for the angry people of the world to latch on and make it into something it isn't. Peace."
"Please look for a feud elsewhere," she added. "I have no issue with Demi Lovato or anyone else. I actually forgot she performed. I have opinions. MANY."
Despite the singer's efforts to squash a feud, Demi clearly took issue with her comments.
"Cool For The Summer may not 'save kid's lives' or 'inspire' but I'd say Skyscraper & Warrior have done a pretty good job of helping people cope with mental illness," she tweeted on Friday morning. "VMA's are sexy and fun. There's a time and place for everything."
P!nk continued to respond with the following set of tweets:
You know, this is part of why I'm sad about the VMas and the world in general. Everyone is so nasty and waiting for a fight. I never said
@Pink
Anything about Demi Lovato or called out anyone. I was talking to a friend in response to his disappointment about the show. I agree w him.
