Pink Says She’s Hosting Tony Awards 2026 for Daughter Willow, 15, in Sweet Opening Monologue Moment

“She is musical theater obsessed. She has followed me around the world her whole life, on and off tour, and I told her, ‘It’s your turn. We’ll follow you,’” she recalled during her Tuesday, June 2, appearance on CBS Mornings. “That’s what we do for our kids. We show up.”

As Pink gushed over her “phenomenal” and “very talented” daughter, she insisted she was not exaggerating when it came to Willow’s star potential.

“I would be like, ‘You can’t do that,’” she said of how she would handle her daughter’s aspirations if she didn’t think she could make it. “I would say it in a nicer way. I’d be like, ‘Maybe? Also, science.’”

Pink went on to compare Willow to herself as a teenager, revealing that she was so nervous as a young performer that she made her friends’ parents turn their backs when she sang for them.

“She’s more talented than I ever was at her age. And she’s also just really earnest, she’s a hard worker, she’s an A-plus student. She once said, ‘I want to get Broadway out of the way so I can be a trauma surgeon,’” she shared. “She’s so confident, and she walks through the world with such poise and grace. I’ve seen her on stage and I’m like, ‘Who is that person?’”

The following day, Pink offered an update on Willow’s pursuit of her theater dreams.

“She is now finally at the age where she would like to do her own thing, which I think is boring,” she joked in a Wednesday, June 3, interview with E! News. “She’s doing the damn thing. She’s in cabarets for charity, she’s in workshops, she just did Carrie the musical, which was dark. She’s killing it. It’s fun to watch. I told her she just has to work hard and be a good person, and show up and be a good teammate and work hard.”
