There’s lots of love betweenPinkandGwen Stefani.

After Stefani opened up for the “So What” performer during her two shows at BST Hyde Park in London over the weekend, Pink praised the “Hollaback Girl” star in a sweetInstagram post.

“I have known you for a long time and I have looked up to you like a big sister. You’re the coolest, kindest, and you always have the most swag in the room,” wrote Pink, 43, alongside a photo of the pair smiling during a backstage chat.

“Thank you for spending your weekend with me. We have so much more to cover,” she continued, noting that they’ll be chatting more ASAP. “I’m gonna call you tomorrow lol. I love you.”

Held as part of Pink’s Summer Carnival Tour, the Hyde Park shows featured sets from her and Stefani as well as Gayle, Tinashe, Sam Ryder, Sam Tompkins, Lyra, Maddie Zahm and more across both days.

Pink and Stefani’s friendship dates back more than a decade. They joined forces at the iHeartRadio Music Festival in 2012 to perform No Doubt’s “Just a Girl,” which Pink has long incorporated into her own concerts as a mash-up with her single “Funhouse.”
