Kate Hudson is gearing up for the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. The actress and musician appeared in a new promo video for the forthcoming games, performing the Mamas & the Papas’ 1963 song “California Dreamin’.”
In the clip, which aired on NBC as the Milan Cortina Olympics came to a close last night, Hudson gives a soulful rendition of the classic tune. It showcases images of athletes likely to figure prominently in the 2028 games alongside images of Los Angeles.
Hudson posted the video on Instagram, writing “Built on California dreams, powered by Olympic and Paralympic champions.”
The Los Angeles Summer Olympics, dubbed LA28, will be held in Los Angeles July 14 to 30, 2028. The games were originally teased at the culmination of the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics. Billie Eilish, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Snoop Dogg, and H.E.R. were among the performers for the energetic Olympics closing ceremony that year to help usher in the future Los Angeles edition.

This year’s winter Olympics showcased some of the greatest athletes in the world and many extraordinary displays of sportsmanship, including a memorable gold medal win from U.S. figure skater Alysa Liu.
Hudson appeared at the 2026 BAFTA Awards last night as a nominee for Best Leading Actress for her performance in Song Sung Blue. She lost to Jessie Buckley for Hamnet, but is also nominated for the Oscar for Best Actress. She recently told Rolling Stone that shifting her focus to music is the “best decision” she’s ever made.
“The latter half of my life, it’s that moment where you actually look at what you’re putting out creatively and if you’re satisfied with it, and [ask] as a creative, ‘Am I happy with everything I’ve left if I died today?'” she said. “My answer was a big no. Not that I haven’t done things that I’m proud of, but I didn’t feel like my output was as authentic or honest as it could be.… I was shocked at what came back at me [after the album]. I was not expecting women to come up to me and be like, ‘I’ve always wanted to do this thing in my forties. And you doing this makes me feel like I can do anything I want.’ I feel like I’m just getting started.”
