While she is best known for her hits like «Just Give Me a Reason», - «Raise Your Glass», - and «So What», - P! nk is also a longtime theater fan, and her music has been featured in Broadway productions, including «Moulin Rouge! The Musical» and «& Juliet».
According to executive producers Jack Sussman, Sara Levin Hall, and Raj Kapoor, P! nk's passion for Broadway made her the perfect choice to host the ceremony. «She's doing this because she’s a superfan and wants to be in that room», - Sussman told People. «She's not doing this because she has a movie or album coming out». The producers also hinted at an ambitious show filled with performances and surprises, adding, «We're excited for viewers to see what we have in store for Sunday. I think fans will be very pleased with what we’ve come up with».
