In April 2026, Tony Awards Productions announced that Pink would host the 79th Tony Awards, Broadway's top theater honors. The ceremony was held on June 7 at Radio City Music Hall in New York and aired live on CBS and Paramount+.
The Grammy-winning singer shared the news on Instagram with a video of herself stepping onto a Broadway stage during a performance of The Great Gatsby. She called the job a major honor and joked that she had never performed on Broadway, even though hosts are usually drawn from its ranks. Cynthia Erivo had hosted the 2025 ceremony.
The choice was notable because Pink was best known as a pop and arena performer rather than a theater veteran. It marked her debut as the show's host. The executive producers described her as a fearless artist with a powerhouse voice.
The appointment gave Pink a new, high-profile live television role. It also set the stage for her later move into large-scale residency shows in Las Vegas.
