American singer-songwriter Pink has, for years, given fans hit after Top 40 hit. From “Just Give Me A Reason” to “So What,” the artist’s powerhouse vocals and emotionally-charged lyrics have kept the her a pop frontrunner since she came on the scene in early 2000. So, really, it’s no surprise that fans love covering her work, or that her work has, quite literally, changed lives.

In October 2017, Glamour showed Pink a video of a YouTuber, Davina Michelle, who was covering Pink’s 2017 power ballad “What About Us.” At the time, Pink was overwhelmingly impressed by the singer. “That is better than I will ever sound,” she says while watching Davina Michelle perform. “I love that. I want to own that.”

Davina Michelle’s own reaction to Pink watching her performance is pretty priceless, too. But it’s how the novice YouTuber’s life changed after appearing in Glamour’s “You Sang My Song” video series that proves particularly special.

After her “You Sang My Song” cameo with Pink, Davina Michelle achieved an impressive amount of fame on her own. Before appearing in “You Sang My Song,” Davina Michelle’s YouTube cover of “What About Us” had approximately 200K YouTube views. Now, the video has over 11.5M. She’s also performed on Dutch radio stations and is a fixture on a weekly Dutch television show alongside other musicians. What’s more, the artist currently has a song on Dutch Top 40 that has remained number one for nine weeks.

“So many things have changed, it’s crazy” the artist explains in a follow-up conversation with Glamour, one year later. “I didn’t do any live performances [before], I only was on YouTube. After the Pink video…I got to perform everywhere.”

Something for the highlight reel: Davina Michelle was recently informed that she will perform on tour with Pink in Amsterdam when her tour reaches the Netherlands in June 2019.

Barack Obama Celebrated Michelle's New Book In the Sweetest Way

Before its release on Tuesday, Michelle Obama’s new memoir Becoming had been so highly anticipated, it received more pre-orders at Barnes & Noble than any book since Harper Lee’s 2015 novel Go Set a Watchman. But it’s Barack Obama who seems to have been more excited than anyone.

On Tuesday, the former president went on Instagram and made a plug for his wife’s memoir—but being Barack Obama, he did so in the most romantic way.

“Of course, @MichelleObama’s my wife, so I’m a little biased here,” he wrote in a post that included a picture of the memoir sitting on a table. “But she also happens to be brilliant, funny, wise – one of a kind. This book tells her quintessentially American story. I love it because it faithfully reflects the woman I have loved for so long.”

It’s not the first time the Obamas have showered each other with love on social media. They commemorated their most recent anniversary with some adorable photos, and Michelle posted this stunning wedding throwback ahead of the book’s release. We also can’t forget (or stop playing) that Valentine’s Day mix Michelle made Barack in February.

Becoming is an intimate look at Michelle’s early life and career, and it takes readers behind-the-scenes during her tenure as First Lady. Michelle describes deeply personal moments in detail, discussing everything from embarrassing her daughter Malia on prom night to coping with a miscarriage and fertility issues earlier in her marriage.

On Wednesday, Michelle kicked off a 12-stop tour in Chicago, where she joined Oprah Winfrey for an interview about the memoir. She shared a few things that weren’t in the book, including how she broke down in tears after Inauguration Day in 2017.

“I didn’t write about this in the book, because I had forgotten about it … when I got on the plane I think I sobbed for 30 minutes,” she said. “I think it was just the release of eight years of trying to do everything perfectly. I said to Barack, ‘That was so hard. What we just did that was so hard and I’ve wanted to say that for eight years.'”

Becoming is already striking a chord with audiences. It topped Amazon’s best-seller list days before its official release, showing that most people are with Barack when it comes to his wife’s brilliant work.
