Star Gives Glory To God After Tony Win
Nicole Scherzinger, known for her role as the lead singer of The Pussycat Dolls, recently won the Tony Award for Lead Actress in a Musical for her performance in Sunset Boulevard. During her emotional acceptance speech, she gave credit to God for guiding her through her journey and expressed deep gratitude to her mother and grandparents for their sacrifices and the strong faith they instilled in her. Her comments reflected a consistent theme in her public life—giving glory to God and embracing her Christian faith.
Scherzinger has frequently spoken about her religious upbringing and how it influences both her personal decisions and professional choices. She was raised in a deeply religious family, with a grandfather who was a priest, and has openly shared how their support gave her confidence to pursue a career in entertainment. Despite industry pressures to compromise her beliefs, Scherzinger has emphasized that she never “sold her soul” to succeed and continues to see her talent as a blessing from God.
Her commitment to her beliefs was particularly evident when she nearly declined a role in the television remake of Dirty Dancing due to its depiction of abortion. Coming from a strongly pro-life background, she struggled with taking the part but ultimately decided to use the opportunity to highlight her perspective in a thoughtful way. Guided by prayer and her grandfather’s counsel, she saw the role as a way to spark conversation without being judgmental.
Scherzinger has also shared her gratitude that her own mother chose to carry her pregnancy despite being a teenager at the time. She has spoken about this experience as central to her pro-life stance and has used her platform to encourage others facing similar situations. Her reflections connect deeply with her faith and the value she places on life, family, and purpose.
Throughout her career, Scherzinger has remained vocal about her Christian beliefs and spiritual practices. In interviews, she has discussed attending church regularly and striving to live according to her values, both publicly and privately. Her recent Tony win, and the way she acknowledged her faith during the ceremony, further highlight how her spirituality continues to shape her path in the entertainment industry.
