Every young singer dreams of sharing the stage with their favorite artist. But for most, that dream stays a dream. Not for Victoria Anthony! This 12-year-old from Vancouver made her dream come true—just by asking for it.
When Victoria found out that P!nk was coming to perform in her city, she knew she had to take a chance. She jumped into action and started a campaign on Twitter, hoping to grab the superstar’s attention. Her message was simple but full of excitement and determination:
“Hey @Pink, please let me sing on stage with you in #Vancouver May 12. I’ll be ready! – Victoria (age 12). Share this video and tag #vicandpink to make my dream come true.”
For a 12-year-old, that was a pretty smart tweet. She even included a hashtag to spread the word! But a great tweet wasn’t enough—she needed a little luck, too. And luck showed up in a big way when her hashtag caught the attention of a famous singer: Sarah McLachlan.
Sarah decided to help and tweeted directly to P!nk:
“Hey @Pink, you have to check out 12yr old @vicanthonymusic. She really wants to sing with you on May 12th in #Vancouver. Make her #dreamcometrue. #VicAndPink #BeautifulTraumaWorldTour”
With Sarah’s support, Victoria’s campaign took off! People all over the internet were talking about her. But even with all the attention, there was still no response from P!nk. As the concert day arrived, Victoria was thrilled just to see her idol perform. She didn’t expect anything more.
Then, halfway through the show, something amazing happened. P!nk spotted Victoria in the crowd and spoke right to her:
“Are you who I read about on the news? Are you the singer? Do you want to come sing something?”
Victoria couldn’t believe it. But she was ready! She made her way to the front and took the mic. Then, in front of thousands of people, she sang P!nk’s hit song Perfect. The crowd went wild. Her voice was powerful, way beyond her years. Even P!nk was stunned! She was so impressed that after Victoria finished, she joked, “Well, I’m not going to sing that song now—I don’t want to have to follow that!”
It was an unforgettable moment, one that proved dreams really can come true.
