Monday night’s tribute performance began with Pat Benatar performing Pink’s song “Just Like a Pill” while Neil Giraldo played guitar. Pink watched the performance from the audience with her children, Willow and Jameson. When Benatar’s performance was over, Clarkson stepped out on stage.
Clarkson performed Pink’s song “Just Give Me a Reason,” backed by several violinists. As she launched into the chorus, Pink joined in on the song from the audience and then stepped on stage with her, turning it into a duet.
The two singers sounded amazing together, showing off their powerful voices and letting each other shine at different points in the song. Eventually, Clarkson left the stage and let Pink take over to performing “Who Knew” with her backup singers.

Clarkson presented Pink with the Icon Award during Monday night’s show. The pair embraced before Pink stepped up to the microphone to deliver her acceptance speech. She made sure to give Clarkson a shout-out.
“It has been said that miracles are often associated with icons,” Pink said. “And Kelly Clarkson singing with me and Pat Benatar singing one of my songs, two of the greatest voices alive, being onstage doing what I love with people that I love with all of my heart, and my babies in the audience… This feels like a Christmas miracle.”
Clarkson and Pink have already performed together this year. In February, Pink was a guest on Clarkson’s talk show, where the two singers performed duets to songs such as “Who Knew,” “Please Don’t Leave Me,” and “Trustfall.”
