Kate Hudson is preparing for the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. The actress and musician recently appeared in a promotional video for the games, performing the 1963 song “California Dreamin’” by The Mamas & the Papas.
LA28 Campaign Begins
The promotional video aired on NBC as the Milan Cortina Olympics concluded. It features images of Los Angeles and athletes expected to compete in the 2028 games. Hudson shared the video on Instagram, stating it was “Built on California dreams, powered by Olympic and Paralympic champions.”
NBCUniversal is initiating its marketing campaign for the 2028 Summer Games. The 2024 closing ceremony in Paris featured performances by Billie Eilish, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Snoop Dogg, and H.E.R., and a memorable stunt by actor Tom Cruise, who attached the Olympic flag to the Hollywood sign.
Hudson’s involvement comes as she expands her creative pursuits. She recently told Rolling Stone that focusing on music has been the “best decision” she’s ever made, and feels she is “just getting started.” She was a nominee for Best Leading Actress at the 2026 BAFTA Awards for her role in Song Sung Blue, but lost to Jessie Buckley for Hamnet. She is similarly nominated for the Oscar for Best Actress.
