Pink streams dissidents over Britney Spears song amid Sam Asghari divorce

She never gets tired of being compared to Britney Spears.

Pink subtly showed public support for Britney Spears, whose husband Sam Asghari filed for divorce after a year of marriage, on Wednesday night.

During the Detroit stop of her Summer Carnival tour, Pink, 43, just changed one word of her 2001 song “Don’t Let Me Get Me” to show his love for the 41-year-old “Toxic” superstar.

Instead of singing “tired of being compared to frigging Britney Spears,” she sang “cute Britney Spears.”

“She’s so pretty / That’s just not me,” reads the rest of the line.

The Post has reached out to Pink’s reps for comment.

In February, Pink spoke up People about the fact that the lyrics had been “Missundaztood” for years.

“People think I singled out Britney on ‘Don’t Let Me Get Me,’ but I’ve always felt like a big sister to her,” she claimed. “I’m very protective of her and she’s the sweetest person in the world.”

Pink and the “Toxic” singer memorably linked up with Beyoncé in 2003 Pepsi Super Bowl commercial in which they sang “We Will Rock You” by Queen.

Asghari confirmed Thursday that he and the “Toxic” singer are breaking up “their journey together” amid the news that he filed for divorce.

“There are many allegations that Sam is challenging the prenup and threaten exploitation his ex-wife with videos,” his rep told The Post.

“However, all of these claims are false as no negative intent has ever been directed against them and never will be. Sam has always supported her and always will,” they added.

The couple got engaged in September 2021 and married on June 9, 2022.
