When youโ€™re talking Sweet 16, youโ€™re talking a full-force artist whoโ€™s as vocally compelling as she is physically jaw-dropping. For Pink, who got her start doing track dates wth 

*NSYNC, the decade saw the full-tilt entertainer evolve into the only woman capable of intense aerial work, flying and never missing a note. Her 1.5 million ticket 2009 โ€œFunHouse Tour,โ€ which became Australiaโ€™s largest tour in its history, gave way to the all stadium 34-show โ€œFunhouse Summer Carnival Tour,โ€ where she was deemed โ€œSwedenโ€™s biggest stadium act,โ€ was the first female solo act to open Londonโ€™s Wireless Festival and brought the cumulative gross to $200 million. 

Her 2013/14 โ€œThe Truth About Loveโ€ became the yearโ€™s third highest grossing with $184 million over 142 shows around the world. Then with a five-year break, Alecia Moore roared back with the โ€œBeautiful Trauma Tour,โ€ which grossed $397.3 million and played to over 3,000,000 fans, to become the biggest female tour this decade and second biggest female tour this year. As Live Nationโ€™s Brad Wavra says, โ€œWhat sheโ€™s done is justโ€ฆ outworked everyone! She wouldnโ€™t take โ€˜NOโ€™ for an answer; kept striving and pushing herself. (Thereโ€™s no one on the road like her.)โ€??
