Pink’s daughter, Willow Sage Hart, was living her biggest dreams alongside her mom at the 2026 Tony Awards.
The Grammy winner, 46, hosted the Sunday, June 7, ceremony at New York City’s Radio City Music Hall, opening the awards show with a sweet shout-out to her daughter, 15.
“Tonight, I am 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 did not take this job so my kid could get Broadway selfies, although [we have backstage before tonight ] … and a couple 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, along with Jameson — gave her mom the stamp of approval for her Tonys hosting gig.
“When I was asked to host the Tonys, I immediately thought, ‘I have to get permission from my daughter,’” Pink said in an April statement. “I’ve never been on Broadway, and shouldn’t you have to have been on Broadway in order to host? That seems fair and right. But when I asked my daughter, she was really excited about being able to have a ticket to go to the Tonys, so I’m hosting the Tonys and I’m really, really excited and very nervous because that girl is a tough crowd!”
Earlier this month, Pink explained her family’s decision to relocate to New York City so Willow could pursue her Broadway dreams.
“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.”
