During the performance, Aguilera sang a medley of Houston’s hits including “I Will Always Love You,” “I Have Nothing,” “Run To You,” and “I’m Every Woman.” As she sang, clips from Houston’s film The Bodyguard played behind her, celebrating the upcoming 25th anniversary of the movie.
Following the performance, singer Pink, whose facial expressions lit the Internet on fire, took to Twitter to share her thoughts.
“Christina fโing killed it tonight for one of our favorite singers ever,” she wrote. “This about Whitney, and I am in awe of Christina’s talent.”
Aguilera ended the night with an Instagram post, sharing a shot of herself lying in bed with the caption, “still reeling…”
