Pink spoke about how meaningful the Icon Award was for her while delivering her acceptance speech.

"It has been said that miracles are often associated with icons," she began. "And Kelly Clarkson singing with me, and Pat Benatar singing one of my songs -- two of the greatest voices alive -- being onstage, doing what I love with people that I love with all of my heart, and my babies in the audience, this feels like a Christmas miracle."

She continued, "I usually do try to joke or be self-deprecating in these moments, but I want to be a better friend to myself tonight, so I would like to try and say something honest."

She went on to speak about why she has devoted her life to music.

"Every room I walk into, my heart walks in first," she said. "Every lyric that I write is my heart crying, raging, hoping, screaming, pleading. You have watched me do this, this sifting through life's messiness, for almost 25 years. Some of you find what I do annoying, and some of you find it brave. And I just find it necessary."

She added, "I have decided to make vulnerability my life's work, and for those of you that have joined me on this adventure, I thank you from the bottom of my heart."

She also gave a special shoutout to her children, her team behind her and her husband, Carey Hart, among others.
