Pink Gives Daughter Shout-Out in 2026 Tony Awards Monologue

Pink’s daughter, Willow Sage Hart, was living her biggest dreams alongside her mom on the 2026 Tony Awards.

The Grammy winner, 46, hosted the Sunday, June 7, ceremony at Latest York City’s Radio City Music Hall, opening the awards show with a sweet shout-out to her daughter, 15.

“Tonight, I’m here as Broadway’s biggest fan — well second biggest next to my daughter, Willow,” the rock star quipped in her opening monologue. “I don’t know where she is [in Radio City], but I didn’t take this job so my kid could get Broadway selfies, although [we have backstage before tonight ] … and a pair for mama.”

Willow even joined her mom on the red carpet, where they were joined by Pink’s husband, Carey Hart, and son Jameson.

Pink previously shared that Willow — whom the singer shares with Hart, together with Jameson — gave her mom the stamp of approval for her Tonys hosting gig.

“Once I was asked to host the Tonys, I immediately thought, ‘I actually have to get permission from my daughter,’” Pink said in an April statement. “I’ve never been on Broadway, and shouldn’t you could have to have been on Broadway so as to host? That seems fair and right. But after I asked my daughter, she was really enthusiastic about having the ability to have a ticket to go to the Tonys, so I’m hosting the Tonys and I’m really, really excited and really nervous because that girl is a tricky crowd!”

Earlier this month, Pink explained her family’s decision to relocate to Latest York City so Willow could pursue her Broadway dreams.

“She is musical theater obsessed. She has followed me world wide 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 children. We show up.”

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

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

Pink went on to check Willow to herself as an adolescent, 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 or he’s also just really earnest, she’s a tough employee, she’s an A-plus student. She once said, ‘I would like to get Broadway out of the way in which so I is usually a trauma surgeon,’” she shared. “She’s so confident, and she or he walks through the world with such poise and charm. I’ve seen her on stage and I’m like, ‘Who’s that person?’”

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

“She is now finally on the age where she would love to do her own thing, which I believe is boring,” she joked in a Wednesday, June 3, interview with E! News. “She’s doing the rattling 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 look at. I told her she just has to work hard and be person, and show up and be teammate and work hard.”
