"It will definitely go forward, Grenell said. It will probably just be in a smaller venue, which just means ticket demand will be even higher. Grenell added the location is yet to be determined and that we're already looking for different places."
"According to The Washington Post, The 2025 Honors themselves boasted a much smaller roster of A-list Hollywood names than previous years, and the ratings dropped by 25 percent year-over-year, making it the least-watched Honors ceremony in history."
"When asked about his renovation plans, Trump said they will probably cost around $200 million because the building is in very bad shape. You know, we're fully-financed, Trump added without saying where the money was coming from."
The Kennedy Center will continue operations at a new, smaller venue while undergoing renovations, with President Trump renaming it the Trump Kennedy Center and the honors ceremony becoming the Trump Kennedy Center Honors. The 48th ceremony in December, hosted by Trump and featuring his selected recipients, experienced a 25 percent ratings decline and became the least-watched Honors ceremony in history. Trump estimates renovation costs at approximately $200 million, citing the building's poor condition. Multiple artists have canceled appearances in protest of the name change. Trump administration officials attribute artist cancellations to a coordinated Democratic campaign against the Center.
