Pink says Ellen DeGeneres “basically handed over” her Emmy as she becomes emotional at the end of “Ellen”

Pink looks back on decades of friendship with Ellen DeGeneres.

In the final episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show, the singer emotionally talked about how the host inspired her in her own career.

“I wanted to be a singer because I wanted to grow and change the world and make it a better place. You’ve done that in so many ways,” she said. “Maybe I help people find their pain, but you help people find their joy. We need it so much in the world, and you think As kind as you are, you support people. When you shed your light on them, it’s like staring at the sun. “

Pink, who provided the theme song “Today’s the Day” for season 13 of the talk show, talked about how DeGeneres has helped her.

“You have been very supportive of me and my career, and you have basically handed me an Emmy,” the singer added. “Hey, come sing a song for my show!” Are you kidding me? And you basically have an indelible mark on this world and people have made it okay who they are. It reminds people that many things are happening in the world, but the joy is always a choice. “

Before Pink suffocated too much, the two looked back on her first appearance at the show in the first season of 2001.

She talked about the gifts DeGeneres gave her, including skateboarding and tandem bikes.

With the show’s famous reversal of generosity, the 42-year-old decided to give something to the host instead.
